ERIC BALLEW is a mixer as well as a master cart builder. Eric showed off a number of carts his company, Cannibal Industries, makes; from the tiny Super Zuca to the much larger Titan Cart. The Super Zuca is made out of a modified Zuca rolling bag with a Zaxcom Nova, Aria control surface, and Zaxcom wireless. It is small, lightweight, can go anywhere, and can run for 12 hours on battery power. His Titan model cart is larger, houses a Deva 24 and control surface, and has a removable rack that is designed to house radio receivers that are connected via Dante. Eric can remote the rack with a single cable run. Eric also shared a bulletproof power supply that he custom built. KOREY PEREIRA MPSE shared his approach to field recording from his multiple recording rigs, including the Sound Devices 788T, 702T, and a Zoom F3. With all of these options, Korey said, "The best recorder is the one you have with you." Korey also stated he still likes to record through a 302 mixer as the recordings tend to sound beefier. He has quite an arsenal of microphones, including the Pearl MS8CL, which he says is great for recording waves. Additionally, Korey noted using DPA lavs and sticks them in the engine compartment of cars and trucks because they don't break up with high SPL. Eric Ballew Korey Pereira MPSE
