4 S P R I N G 2 0 2 3 I C A S Q U A R T E R L Y The spring issue of the Quarterly means that we're in the heart of awards season. The recognition of strong work by peers is humbling and this year's CAS Career Achievement Award recipient, production sound mixer Peter J. Devlin CAS, is no stranger to such accolades. Phillip Palmer CAS sits down with his longtime friend to discuss Peter's beginnings at the BBC to his multiple awards recognitions and the leaps-of-faith journey in between. Something that is unfortunately overlooked too frequently by those handling scheduling is preparation. This can be quite challenging, especially for our production sound colleagues. G. John Garrett CAS catches up with four production sound mixers to get their thoughts on the topic in his article, "Prep as Part of Production." Re-recording mixers have been dealing with multi-channel mixing for decades and there are typical channel layouts that we follow. However, an area that tends to be more proprietary is museum or unique installations. Curious about the sound in the Griffith Observatory's Signs of Life presentation, Frank Morrone CAS sat down with the project's mixer, Michael Phillips Keeley CAS, to discuss mixing in 28.1. On the score mixing side, David Bondelevitch CAS MPSE discusses last year's CAS Award- and Oscar-nominated film West Side Story (2021) with scoring mixer Shawn Murphy. For the second year in a row, CAS and MPSE teamed up for a day of insight, information, and fun. "The Sounding Board v2.0" featured the panel "Workflow: Mic to Mix," outlining the process from location mixing to re-recording mixing and featured experts speaking to their area. In a great "behind the scenes" look, the panel "Our Partners in Sound Crime" featured a panel of sound support team members and provided insight into their duties. CAS Associate member Sam Casas provides coverage of these panels. In between the panels was the yearly "Parade of Carts and Bags," featuring CAS and MPSE members and reported on by Phillip Palmer CAS. This was just one of the membership events we've had over the past couple of months. Karol Urban CAS MPSE provides a recap of many others in the "Events Wrap-Up" coverage. As always, you can read about the happenings of your fellow members in the "Been There Done That" and "The Lighter Side" sections. As you know, our organization's biggest event, the CAS Awards, will be held on March 4. Don't forget to vote! I hope you can attend to celebrate with your colleagues.
