We were organizing and packing a big expendable order yesterday while loading our truck to start a show. We had ordered 400 Lithium 9 Volt batteries to cover the first few episodes. The Dynamis brand that we normally order has recently been shipping in ridiculously extra packaging to hold just 10 batteries. We removed the plastic holder and were able to fit 21 batteries in the cardboard box. 40 boxes down to 19. I know the packaging probably has something to do with shipping, but all that extra plastic is just awful. Josh

The Brooks Institute went bust not too long ago and they're liquidating all of their stuff with an online auction. If you browse through the lots you'll see lots of good audio gear (Sennheiser 416s, Sound Devices 744Ts, Sennheiser G3 wireless sets, etc.) at what could wind up being great prices. I'd bid on a few things but they have to be picked up in LA withing two days of the auction end on the 18th and I can't do it. https://www.bidspotter.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/timed/brian-testo-associates/catalogue-id-bscbri10019

Just read the news today, Garry Marshall, ‘Pretty Woman’ Director and Creator of ‘Happy Days,’ Dies at 81. I only did one movie with Garry but he was a wonderful person, I really loved working with him. His contribution to television and film is immense... he will be missed.

I want to thank Gotham Sound for the huge amount of effort they put into their mix assist demo--it was really informative and dealt very honestly with the issues of this technology (and also for including both SD and Zax as well as the Yamaha as a control). I listened to all the demos with headphones and pretty much agreed with their conclusions. My overarching thought was that with a little room treatment (of the unseen parts of the room) and perhaps the removal of the fan and some small directives to the talent, the scene could have been covered by a good pro boom op, (or 2) and would have ended up sounding far more natural and cinematic. Yes, the boom op(s) would ha…

https://www.gearslutz.com/board/post-production-forum/1097200-internships-aka-corporate-slavery.html There is an extended bow-wow going on over on the GS audio post forum about the hows and whys of "interns" working at recording studios and post facilities. Some of this comes down what the definition for "intern" is in a given organization or situation I guess. I've had people new to the biz ask to help me, shadow me, observe me etc on production sound jobs over the years, and I've never been very comfortable with the idea I admit: both for "unpaid work" and "babysitting" reasons, so to speak. In that a big percentage of the soundies who read this forum are often …
