The Right Tools For The Job
It's important for a sound mixer to own their own audio equipment and know it like the back of their hand. With owning equipment comes discipline in making sure it is well maintained, experience knowing which tools are perfect for each job and creativity in knowing how to work through sometimes-unpredictable challenges while filming.
