capacity Zaxcom system. This hit home because a lot of Los Angeles-based production mixers feel the same, and those boards are still kicking and alive and well on a lot of carts. But now that Matthias has upgraded, he reveals all the benefits he enjoys while using a fully digital and ZaxNet controllable system. The six-way discussion was so lively, we only had time for a few questions. It was nice to learn from Charlie about his mic preamp choices in studio vs in the field, where he uses the internal mic preamps of the Sound Devices recorders. It was interesting to get clarification via a question from Jeff Wexler CAS, which revealed to us the brilliant simplicity of Matthias' rack case fastening! Always important is hearing different viewpoints on the lines of communication that exist between production sound and post-production sound. And finally, Marcos got to give us an even deeper dive beyond his video into his Inovativ upright cart, as well as showing off his resourceful Husky/Magliner combo follow cart. On a personal note, while watching this event, I was a cross between a theater nerd at the Tony Awards and a football fanatic at the Super Bowl. The reason it's a hybrid of the two is they both elicit such different yet passionate emotions from us. During some moments, I was nerding-out from the insider lingo, and the next minute during a cart reveal, I'm jumping out of my chair like a touchdown was scored! And from a true fanboy of cart designing, cart building, and cart admiring, this was truly an exciting event to enjoy from the comfort of my living room. Hopefully, next year we can do it in person again. Or, better yet, maybe a part virtual and part in-person event could take place because I really enjoyed seeing the rigs of our colleagues located outside of the United States. Either way we do it, I hope these events bring about inspiration for creative cart building for people all over the world. Here's to looking at even more rigs!
