What's in your Kit? With Sound Mixer Devendra Cleary, CAS | URSA Exclusive

[@chasebennett2169]

Cannot overstate how grateful I am for these videos.

[@KyllandMusic]

Thank you! That means so much to me :)

[@URSAStraps]

Thank you Chase :)

[@paulkennedy477]

What a lovely guy, and what a great interviewer. That is a wonderfully designed cart; it's lovely to see Devendra's devotion to his craft, and the cleaning cart idea is just spot on.

[@KyllandMusic]

Thank you for watching and taking a minute to leave some kind words!! really appreciate it ! - Kim Kylland (interviewer in the video).

[@URSAStraps]

Thank you Paul :)

[@drewbdarby]

Love the level of detail in these videos. I'm not even a sound mixer, but these deep dives are fascinating.

[@kstrain1]

44:00 - the ultralight plant mic arm. Yes! BTW, absolutely love the mix of Schoeps and Sennheiser. They really do form an arsenal of solutions to various acoustic environments and reach and rejection requirements. Super clean Devendra, I like how this is all put together for speed and ease.

[@alistairfarrant9155]

Kudos to Kim and Ursa Straps for making these insightful videos. Such a treasure trove of ideas and processes on how to improve in this craft. For me one big take away from this one is the time Devendra spent designing his workflow first. It looks like that was done in Pages! Mind blown. I never saw it as a useful program. Lesson learned!

[@alanchang3367]

Wonderful insight into the behind-the-scenes with Devandra! Thank you URSA Straps and Kim

[@URSAStraps]

Thanks Alan, glad it was useful. Stay tuned we have a couple more fun videos coming soon from.

[@dokidokiotaku]

This may be my first KZbin comment... I had to say your cart is a dream!! (But the mini recycle bin takes the cake)

[@lazajam1]

Love this cart build, truly a TANK! All the soft prep time appears to have paid off well :) So inspiring to dream up the possibilities with Dante integration and the Cantar, Lectro.. Thanks Devendra for sharing your process, thanks Kim and URSA for doing these videos, they are really insightful. And good on you for returning to music composition, Kim!

[@KyllandMusic]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, James! We appreciate you!

[@URSAStraps]

Thank you James! I think we got really lucky with this interview - so much new stuff! We should meet up with Devendra again I think to see how he got on.

[@TheGastodont]

Thanks for allowing people to dive into this world. It’s invaluable work what you are doing here

[@OTsuperduper]

I really appreciate these interviews. Always a good nugget in each I find helpful.

[@4funkystrings]

Would be cool to always list the equipment on the video description :) Really great videos! Thank you!!

[@user-xv4he4mt4x]

Spectacular! Thank you for doing another great video.

[@futureclassdnbofficial6221]

I used to work in props.. I always wondered what the sound guy was doing.. he aint just sitting there lol... great vid. cheers.

[@futureclassdnbofficial6221]

I love how all the different positions work together on set.. its like a well oiled machine (if done right). Salute~!

[@pierrotrivol4788]

Yep im also a SCHOEPSNHEISER guy and your carts (all the 3 presented) looks brilliant Devendra ! X3 is really a game changer (im French too...perhaps a kind of "nationalism" )

[@DebF124]

Same! Schoeps Cmit5 MKH 50 MKH 816 are the best boom mics ever made

[@juarasatulombaindie2anseja97]

he's such a generous person thats how i want to live my life, to be a generous sound mixer in audio visual production. Kuddos to Devandra!!! cheers from Indonesia

[@lectrosonics]

Great job on this interview, Devendra and Kim! Very interesting and informative.

[@KyllandMusic]

Thank you!! :)

[@URSAStraps]

Thanks Lectrosonics!! Maybe we can come film at your facility one day!

[@lectrosonics]

@@URSAStraps You are welcome any time!

[@ThatLauraPerson]

This is awesome to see. Love how clean the cart is!

[@NicholsonStudios]

This was really great to watch, the setup is fantastic. Hope you have a great show when you get back to it!

[@kappabravomusic2101]

That was quite fun. Thanks Kim

[@thebeatrumble]

Probably the only interview on KZbin I’ve seen were someone said they actual read the manual

[@berndeckenfels]

Its interesting to see that the industry is still come to a halt.. and hopefully your plans for reopen get not delayed a year longer

[@lblbates]

Thank you so much for yet another great interview. I always learn so much.

[@deathbyzen]

No mention of the headphones, they are Sennheiser HD 25

[@MatthewBelonio]

love this series.learning so much... im going to turn my Church AV team onto this... its nice to have goals. :D

[@naanspiess1992]

Great interview thank you

[@d-sx560]

I’m so stealing the red cart idea for my next gig - thanks!

[@bassbird]

I know nothing about sound mixing but these videos make me think its like a f1 racing arms race of organizing

[@rickymcc8624]

Interesting kit, much of it I don't yet begin to understand, although I have heard of some brands. I'm a long term photographer attempting to now upskill myself in videography and sound, really as an enthusiastic amateur. I can't see I'll ever need this kind of complexity. For sound kit I'm using a Sound Devices MixPre 6ii - which seemed pretty sophisticated when I bought it last year. I just started buying good lav mikes Cos 11d to replace my Sony OEMs that bundled with my Sony UHF packs and dual receiver. I also use a Sen 416 MKH and I'm saving for a better boompole and a Sennheiser MKH 50 for indoor use. Well I'm lucky I don't really need to save, but I'm loath to keep spending ever more on sound kit, lenses, lights, cameras etc etc until I have been able to get more out of the quite good kit I already own. Time to get out more, practice and up my game is what I really need. But an interesting tour around a high end cart that makes me realise why some production budgets run into millions $ and use a tech crew counted in hundreds.

[@dejanceko1891]

So inspiring.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Wondering how much the carts weigh with nothing on them gear wise and how much fully loaded as shown.

[@MasDogg303]

THATS MY UNCLE!!

[@futureclassdnbofficial6221]

What a smart guy, he really knows his stuff :)

[@joibaudioland6241]

Loved it

[@Musiquedecor]

There's a lot to unpack from this video that is above the question I'm about to ask, but what In-Ears is she using ? LOL and is there a wireless monitoring option out there and if so, what kinda transmitter is used on a budget level ?

[@javdeluz]

¡Amazing 😯✨!

[@theodorschinkelmeyer3557]

How much did all the equipment cost and after how many years did you pay it off?

[@Zaflon]

Wow!

[@vondelpark8141]

Great!

[@Dustbrigade]

Thats so tidy!

[@ive595]

Brilliant

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

Yamaha o1v yipes. JoeCo FTw.

Nice........ nice hair clip

[@CayroproductionsAdan]

Should just get a x32 rack and use iPad Pro for the faders….

[@KeironRaven]

I have a laptop 🙂

[@d-sx560]

Why in the world is she carrying the bag while in a static shot / interview? Is it surgically attached to her and if so, who is responsible for that. And why? I have so few questions.

[@simonbysshe]

It's cool. She is monitoring & recording the mix while also conducting the interview. Two sound people chatting.

[@HubLocationSound]

They're wearing concealed lavs and Kim's likely keeping an ear/eye on it.

[@d-sx560]

Yeah, I see it now.....

[@KyllandMusic]

@@d-sx560 Hi ! I know this has already been explained but I wanted to chime in, since I am the one in the video with the bag "surgically attached" to my body. So far I have not saved enough money to have it ACTUALLY surgically installed to my side, but hoping to be at that point early next year! That way, I will ALWAYS have my little sound bag draped off the side of my body! lol, I kid, I kid.... seriously though, it was me who made the decision to do that, have the bag in all the videos, and I know it might look odd, but I love that combination of sound mixing and conversing.

[@d-sx560]

@@KyllandMusic It’s all fun and games till the tape in the Nagra breaks 🤯 right in the middle of take 12 - the one where everyone hit their marks, and everything else was perfect.... You guys don’t know how lucky you are, or, perhaps you do 🤔

[@_Chris390]

Wait wait… “Post pandemic shoot” two years ago? Uh huh. Ok…

[@RayRay-uw6ms]

99.99% of his kit is for show. 0.01% actually gets used.

[@smiragnusbrowne4867]

can the camera person please focus on the gear more. not interested in the talking head

[@KarolWalkowski]

I really like "What's in your kit" series, but do we really need all those "oh my gosh!", "yhmm", "oh wow!", "uuuu, beautiful, look at that" etc? I see only one thumb down (not mine) so probably it is only me who finds the interviewer a bit annoying.

[@KyllandMusic]

hi Karol, I am the interviewer in the video. I totally hear what you are saying, and have even thought this myself when going through the edit process, but to be honest, it just kind of happens in the moment. I am a really talkative and social person, so it happens without me realizing it sometimes. Also, all the people in the videos are friends of mine, so it really feels like hanging with a friend when we shoot these episodes. Though I do agree with you a bit that it's not always great to have me interjecting with my "ohhs" and "ahhs", it's just a bit of my natural curiosity and genuine excitement that bubbles out! :) . All part of my learning process, since I have never really been a 'host' or 'interviewer' before this year. Bear with me as I get better at this! Thanks for watching! - sending you warmth! -- Kim Kylland

[@DevendraCleary]

I have to say that I’m normally very nervous on camera. Every answer by me would have sounded unsure and incomplete if not for Kim’s gifted ability to put me at ease and make it just like a conversation with a friend; because that’s exactly what it was. She’s genuinely into the craft and has a bright future ahead of her in front of and behind the camera. Todd was amazing to work with as well and made the process so easy. I’m so grateful for their work and their friendship.
