"because the engine doesn't make a lot of noise he focused on tire sounds"
"finds that using organic sounds helps the mind connect with a familiar sound, then stand out"

ASK PERMISSION
Scouting location (what is going on in that location during certain times?)
setting volume levels (there are recorders that will record 2 files)
sound effects (slate everything, keep as many notes as you can!) (Soundminer-meta data for sound effects) Keywords are extremely important*****
keep an eye out for "hazardous duty mics"
