4 W I N T E R 2 0 2 5 I C A S Q U A R T E R L Y While the holidays often bring lots of events, the CAS has had lots of events as well. The Sounding Board v4.0, which took place in October, was a great success and we provide some coverage in this issue courtesy of Kurt Kassulke CAS and CAS Associate Kevin Khor—with even more coverage coming next issue. Joe Foglia CAS is a great production mixer and a great guy who has an even greater last name (no relation and definitely not biased). In the article "When Mentoring Comes Full Circle," Anna Wilborn CAS shares the story of mentor Joe and intern Brent Findley in this story of when professional paths cross again. In "My Evolution in Documentary Sound," re-recording mixer Keith Hodne CAS discusses his personal path from mixing straightforward docs to critically-acclaimed major docuseries. Ever wonder what happens to your sound roll once it leaves set? In "A Mixer's Perspective: A Boom, LAV Story!" Michael Wynne CAS speaks with those who interact with the production tracks from the PSM to the picture editor to the dialogue editor to the re-recording mixer. If you find yourself losing some mixing motivation, see how some of our CAS colleagues approach this in "Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone," from CAS Associate Sam Casas. Also in this issue, David Bondelevitch CAS MPSE test drives a few music separation programs to see if they can bring life to some compromised recordings in his "Music Rebalancing Software Shootout" article. Finally, be sure to check out the "Been There Done That" and "The Lighter Side" sections, where you can read about the happenings of our CAS colleagues. Thank you for taking the time to explore this issue. If an article makes you think of a friend or colleague, send a link to the online version of the Quarterly, available on the CAS website.
