Currently working with Everest Studio in São Paolo, Thiago Baggio — a three-time Latin GRAMMY winner and nominee for his work in recording and mixing engineering — approaches his multi-genre discipline with a heavy reliance on DPA Microphones, specifically the 4011 Cardioid Microphones. “I love DPA mics; they’re my favorite,” Baggio said in a press release. “To be honest, I don’t even know how to record certain instruments without them. So, when I go to a studio that doesn’t have DPA, I struggle. The 4011s specifically are a huge part of my everyday workflow.”
Whether it’s engineering música popular brasileira or jazz music, Baggio relies on DPA to honor the authentic sound of the artists’ work. “Musicians often spend their entire lives crafting their sound, and I never want to interfere with that,” he says. “That’s why I love DPA; the mics are very transparent and produce high-fidelity sound, with low noise and no coloration. I also love how detailed they sound. People spend years looking for a piano for their studios, for example, so I want to honor the integrity of that instrument and uphold that authentic sound in the recording, which is when the 4011s come in handy.”
