It is a part of my general load out bin which usually has 4 zeppelins, a SASS, the CSS5, VP88 and 3 Oktavas.</p> <p>As to what I always carry- It depends on where I am really. If I am in the city or on federal property it will be very different from being in the desert.</p> <p>the things to always have though are a knife and water.</p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/150/as-a-sound-designer-do-you-buy-audiophile-equipment-for-home-use/168#168 Answer by charles maynes for As a sound designer, do you buy 'audiophile' equipment for home use? charles maynes 2010-03-07T05:18:14Z 2010-03-07T05:18:14Z <p>I wouldnt think of spending money on audiophile gear unless I had a room which was purpose constructed for monitoring.</p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/1543/recording-outdoor-crowd-walla Comment by charles maynes charles maynes 2010-06-18T18:32:13Z 2010-06-18T18:32:13Z We did a session like that at Fury and Grace for the film &quot;A Knights Tale&quot; Bring as many mics and recorders as is possible- one thing that is cool is to have a recordist inside the crowd moving around- it can be a very useful perspective.
