On a more serious note, this production is a very stressful one, so anything to keep our spirits up!

And yeah, the senator reference is real

If you can't find a good place to put a hush heel....

I was upset to find that a number of the elastic bands on my Sennheiser MZS-40 shock mount were cracked, after one of them broke. I feared a frustrating search at the Home Depot, or worse, sending Eric around the Cape of Good Hope to locate some for me. But I scaled the search back a bit, and found the most wonderful answer. Look no further than your junk XLR bin. That's right. The little gasket on a Neutrik is the perfect size to solve this issue. Not being round, they slip in the mounting groove a little better (if you orient them correctly). And they even seem to be a bit burlier. Can't wait to hear how they (don't) sound.

 

It's the little things. Thanks Jan!

Cool! Going to try and remember this one.

@Rachel Cameron: nothing like a little out-of-the-box thinking to make your day a good one!

Pre-cut strips of Mepitac in a zip-lock bag. I'm saving a lot of time and space this way.
