The Cinema Audio Society is pleased to be participating together with the Motion Picture Sound Editors as event partners with MIX Magazine for the 3^rd Sound for Film Event to be held September 17th at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, CA.  This year’s theme is Sound for Film and Television: Merging of Art, Technique and Tools.

“We are excited to once again be an Event Sponsor together with the MPSE for this event and we have secured a substantial discount for our members who wish to attend,” said CAS President Mark Ulano in a press release sent out September 1st.   “We are very excited to be presenting both the panel on Workflow for Musicals as well as the CAS Parade of Sound Carts during this event.”

The CAS will host the panel: Workflow for Musicals in Film and Television Production. This panel, moderated by Glen Trew, CAS, will focus on live recording and other techniques for giving musical productions a more organic sound than in the past. Panelists will include: re-recording mixer Gary Bourgeois, CAS; production mixer Phil Palmer, CAS; music editor David Klotz; Pro Tools music recording and playback Gary Raymond and others.

Among the activities being held during the day long experience is the crowd pleasing "Parade of Sound Carts": top production sound mixers will showcase their sound carts and top manufacturers will be on hand to introduce and demonstrate the latest in wireless, microphone and recorder technologies.

The MPSE will host a panel discussion titled “Sound Inspiration within the Storytelling Process.” Leading sound designers and editors will talk about creativity in sound and discuss moments when sound becomes the driving factor in the story. Panelists will include Will Files, MPSE; Mark P. Stoeckinger, MPSE; Paula Fairfield, MPSE; and Ben L. Cook, MPSE.

“Building an Immersive Room: Small, Medium and Large” will feature a panel of engineers, studio designers and system integrators. They will describe current requirements for building a recording stage capable of producing a compelling immersive soundtrack.
