Also check out his podcast, Brodie Brazil.

We discussed a ton, including:

• Packing blankets and rug in his home studio
• Mics: TLM103, SM7B through Fethead, RE320’s, MD46’s, HMD26
• Mixer: Soundcraft 12 MTK
• Channel strips: dbx 286’s
• Remote interface: UMC202HD
• Recorders: Zoom H5 & H6
• Computer: MacBook Pro running Audition (old version!)
• Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT-770’s
• On-location: Zoom H6 w/ two RE320’s
• TV mic: Sennheiser MD-46
• Because I do a lot of live streaming – need most of my processing (comp, EQ, de-essing, gate) baked in. So I have that for both the Neumann and Shure mics. I do add a little post-processing for podcasts and YouTube videos with just some light compression… normalization, then clip gain matching to -16 lufs.
• Everything exported to .wav for videos and editing. eventually .mp3 for podcasting to… Soundcloud(!) I know, but it works best for me (I can explain).

Thanks for hanging with us, Brodie!
