That guy was the leader of the pack when it came to recording engineers and producers. What an amazing and talented guy. It didn't hurt him in that he started working in recording studios as a young kid in his uncle's facility in the early 50's and did it until his death a few years ago. I highly recommend that book to anyone who is interested in the technical side of recording. An interesting read for sure.

I'm not familiar with the name but quite the impressive body of work. Those early guys fascinate me because of technology of the day. Makes me think of the Apollo team at NASA using ingenuity to make it all work. And I suspect they used their ears more than their eyes.

Used their ears for certain. Made his EQ choices by which microphones he chose to record whatever. That's all they had back then and it's definitely a better way to work. He used almost no compression or EQ and did most of his adjustments riding faders while tracking. By the time it was recorded the mix was almost done.

I also wasn't familiar with the name. Hell of a resume. I just finished Glenn Johns book last week, it was a good read, also a great resume, lots of Stones, Who etc....Not as much, hardly anything, on the technical side as I would have liked to have. I think I may look into Mr. Schmitt's bio.
Edit: Just took a glimpse. I'll definitely be checking it out. Several of that Music Pro Series look interesting. Thanks.
