Being a pack mule instead of a sound mixer

May 12, 2008 whitneyince

It is an odd statement to make but how I really feel sometimes. The past few days I was using my 5 channel package with 5 wireless plus a Zaxcom ENG hop. I go from being a sound mixer to a signal manager that is just trying to keep noise and out and just make it through the day. It isn’t my favorite type of sound work but just part of living the dream

They also have a demo video on there website that shows the different noise floors of beachtek products vs the juicedlink products. The juicedlink products out preform the beachtek products in these tests. So check out the Juicedlink website and check out there products they may offer a solution to your problems if you need a affordable easy to use interface for your camera. However hiring a Location Sound Mixer is always a better option

Why I am a Location Sound Mixer

February 4, 2008 whitneyince

I have been doing a variety of different types of projects recently. The last year or so I have been doing mostly corporate video stuff, reality tv and some news. But in the last few weeks I have done a indy film, corporate video, national commercial and some audio consulting work. It has been nice having a change of pace, even though the indy films don’t pay as well as some of my other types of work. I had a 1st year film student ask me “Why your a Location Sound guy?”. So I went through my normal answers of I enjoy a new challenge everyday, I like meeting new people,I like being my own boss and enjoy being able to mix and spend time in South Fl, Ga and many other places. After I answered he responded, “You could have had those same things if you where a grip, camera operator or any other film job. So I responded, ” I am a sound guy its in my blood, I have an instinct and 6th sense about it that most people don’t have. I also couldn’t imagine doing anything else with my life and even if I made alot of money doing something else I would do something sound related still. It is that passion that drives me to work hard even at hour 14 of a 16 hour day. I would love to hear your comments on why your a sound person.
