Gear discussed/used in this session:
RODECaster Pro - used to record this session
Sound Devices MixPre Series
Zoom F8n - Very good value for money on a pro/prosumer audio recorder
Sennheiser G3/G4 Wireless Microphone system - note that you need the correct version with frequencies you can use in your region. Contact a reseller in your country for details.
Deity S-Mic 2 shotgun microphone
RODE NTG3 shotgun microphone - I prefer the sound of this on most voices.
Sennheiser MKH416 shotgun microphone - the classic shotgun microphone that seemingly everyone is trying to mimic at enthusiast prices

Tentacle Sync timecode generators
Izotope RX7 - my favorite app for cleaning and optimizing audio clips
Samson C02 - budget boom microphone - comes in a set of 2. Good budget option for interviews.
Zoom H5 - budget recorder with 2 XLR inputs
