CAS ASSOCIATE BRANDON LOULIAS has built multiple carts and bag rigs to address the challenges he faces. Brandon's main cart houses a Sound Devices CL-16/Scorpio combo and Lectrosonics DSQD connected via Dante. Brandon also shared his music/ live broadcast Pro Tools cart with a Midas panel and Sound Devices 970 connected by Dante with a remote stage box. He also uses a bag rig with a Sound Devices 788T and CL-6 with a venue field if he needs to go mobile. Brandon stated, "I have every possibility covered with these carts." SHAWN HOLDEN CAS says she has more of an old-school approach and still uses her Cooper 208 mixer which feeds a Cantar X3 through analog inputs. She stated that she loves the sound of the analog preamps of the Cooper. When she needs to get to hard-to-reach locations, she can quickly take the Cantar off the cart and record. Shawn also stated she prefers to mix standing and her carts reflect this. The Parade of Carts was very interactive and an informative experience. If you are interested in learning more about this year's Parade of Carts and Bags, video coverage of this year's event—and last year's—is available on the Cinema Audio Society's website under the "Events" tab.
