The man is an absolute god, pretty huge coup for Beato to interview him given how rarely he does them. There’s very little footprint of him online. Essential viewing, without doubt one of the all time greats:
I’ve been so curious about him and his process for so long, and there’s very little you can really find. Basically everything about him and what he’s saying just makes total sense. His character is nothing like what I expected but it just seems like he’s the perfect fit for what he does for a living.Watching it now, I’ve been waiting for this!!!
I actually tried finding interviews with him a few years back, when he did Emperor Of Sand with Mastodon, but there really is nothing out there. I’d love to have him produce just one song for me one day, that’d be cooler than working with my favorite musicians.

Zero ego too; like how someone can impress Ezrin and Rick Rubin so quickly is not a small deal.
I love how Beato’s asking gear related questions and for Brendan it’s just like “oh IDK, that’s what the band had” “just happened to be the room we did it in”.4 mics on the kit/room for “Give It Away” and it’s all natural reverb. JFC.
Smart guy.Hahahhahahaha Brendan is a “tone is in the fingers” guy!
I couldn’t stop either, just loved every second of it.I watched the whole thing in one shot. Really great interview for some insight into the guy, but the biggest nugget of wisdom from a production standpoint is the good ole 'if it sounds good, it is good'. I was hoping to hear his thoughts on ear candy and the bells and whistles he often adds, but I dug the interview regardless.
Hahaha and the lack of interviews being a business decision, "people only remember you for your success that way" is a fair play.

I think its going to be a very much "it depends" kind of answer with him. I'd definitely try it on direct mics, samples, OH and room and just see what suits the song. I usually associate Brendan's mixes with having the room mics fairly audible, so I could imagine they'd be getting a fair bit of help.EMT 250, was that used on the entire drum bus or just specific components of the drums?
