Hey {NAME}, Have you ever heard of Al Schmitt? He is definitely someone worth knowing about! Al Schmitt is widely regarded as the greatest recording engineer of all time. He worked with a long list of artists, including Sam Cooke, Steely Dan, Ray Charles, Paul McCartney, and so many more. One thing that made Al Schmitt so unique and successful was the fact that he could dial in the sound of a recording from the very beginning stages of the process. Rather than slapping a microphone on an instrument and pressing the record button, he would strive to achieve the right sound in the recording session. In fact, when asked about the mixing techniques he used for the Roy Hargrove Quintet album Earfood, Al responded: "None. In fact, I donât use any equalization. I just adjust the mics until I get the sound weâre looking for. Itâs just my style. Itâs the way I learned. I also use very little compression. I may put the bass through a tube limiter to get the sound of the tube, but, at most, Iâll pull down a dB. Iâm pretty much a simple analogue kind of guy." In this week's video, let's look at how you and I can apply "The Al Schmitt Method" to our own recordings. We will listen to the way we can impact the sound of a recording using only microphone selection and placement. Watch the video now on YouTube: [Stop Trying To "Fix It In The Mix"!
