Preface
Aaron Brody is an FOH engineer who has collaborated with renowned bands such as Kurt Vile and the Violators, Broken Social Scene, Waxahatchee, Alvvays, and Wild Nothing. During a recent tour with Kurt Vile, we communicated with Aaron via Instagram, and he provided us with excellent materials and pictures. Thank you very much!！
According to him, about 16 years ago, he interned at a highly regarded independent record label in Toronto, Ontario. The label sent him on tour with their signed artists. At first, Aaron wore multiple hats—he was not only a driver but also handled sales, later being assigned as a backline technician. During one tour, by chance, he found himself at the front-of-house console, mixing for artists under the gaze of一线工程师 (top-tier engineers). Although Aaron knew nothing about mixing at the time, he became fascinated from that moment on. After that, he began absorbing as much mixing knowledge as possible and joined any band that would let him participate in mixing work. Today, through continuous learning and experience accumulation, he has become an outstanding and ambitious touring FOH engineer.

Throughout his career, Aaron has used countless audio products. During our conversation, he shared with us some high-quality and practical RND (Rupert Neve Designs) products.
Q：
When did you first become aware of the Rupert Neve brand, and what was the first RND product you purchased?
A：
I can’t pinpoint exactly when I first heard of RND, but I think if you work in professional audio, it’s just a matter of time before you encounter RND. The first RND device I purchased was the MBP processor. After renting it countless times, I decided I needed to own one myself. I wanted to have it with me for every tour, whether long or short.
Q：
How do the RND devices you use help you complete your work, and what features do you like about them?
A：
The MBP has been my secret weapon for years. No matter where I am or what speaker system I’m working with, my mixes go through the MBP and achieve a level of consistency. What I love most about the MBP is its **mystique**! I’ve been using this product for 5 years, and I’m still constantly studying and discovering new things about it. There’s an indescribable magic in this box—it offers incredible versatility and surprises me with new experiences every time I use it.
