CAS President Mark Ulano reminds us of the history of our craft by discussing Edison in his "President's Letter" and a book review of Douglas Gomery's The Coming of Sound. Devendra Cleary CAS continues his "Mentoring" series by discussing mentoring those who grew up in the same place you did. Karol Urban CAS MPSE provides her take on the McDSP plugin version of the SA-2 de-esser, owned by famed re-recording mixer Mike Minkler CAS, while G. John Garrett CAS reviews the RF Explorer spectrum analyzer in his "Technically Speaking" column. Recordist Brittany Ellis contributes an article discussing the responsibilities of a recordist in the digital age.

RETRACTION NOTE: On page 26 of our CAS Quarterly 2016 fall edition, there was a small layout issue with the subtitle "The Keynote Delivered by Gary Bourgeois CAS" within the article covering the Sound for Film Event. The title was printed placing the "by Gary Bourgeois CAS" in a smaller font and on a separate line—implying it was a byline and that Gary was the author. This section of the article was, in fact, written by David Bondelevitch CAS MPSE and the actual keynote speech at the event was delivered by Gary Bourgeois. We at the Quarterly apologize for the confusion.
