4 S P R I N G 2 0 2 6 I C A S Q U A R T E R L Y As we gear up for the 62nd CAS Awards, this year's CAS Career Achievement recipient, re- recording mixer Skip Lievsay CAS, sits down with Daniel Vasquez V. CAS and discusses his illustrious career (so far!). Congratulations to all the CAS Award nominees! We look forward to celebrating you on March 7. On the dub stage, Justin Herman CAS takes Sony's 360VME room simulation software for a test run. Read about his experience in "Taking the Stage With You: The Development and Technology of Sony's 360 Virtual Mixing Environment." On location, Blas Kisi´c CAS puts his curiosity of fiber to work on a reality show that required significant coverage. Get the inside scoop in his article "Using Fiber for Extending Transmission Coverage." We also present coverage of The Sounding Board v5.0 and the great panels, discussions, and hands-on practice that were available. Additionally, we have coverage of a few sound for picture-focused panels from AES Long Beach. Be sure to read about the happenings of colleagues in the "Been There Done That" section and see some photo submissions in "The Lighter Side." On a somber note, longtime CAS fixture, Career Achievement Award recipient, and technology enthusiast, production sound mixer Jeff Wexler CAS passed away in December. In this issue, we remember Jeff with stories from those across our craft and further honor him with the creation of the Jeffrey S. Wexler Award for Advancement in Sound Technology. 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.
