If you're reading this, please leave a comment and let me know that you're here! I read all of your comments :) I'm beyond blessed to have had the opportunity to sit down with the legendary Al Schmitt! With over 1100 credits on Allmusic (Henry Mancini, Steely Dan, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, George Benson, Toto, Natalie Cole, Quincy Jones, Diana Krall, etc.), much of his success and career sustainability stems from his firm analogue groundings and his talent to adapt new technologies to improve on the old. His sound is famous for being open and clean, allowing the best natural qualities of instruments to shine. Al Schmitt is nothing short of a living legend and one of the most important figures in recording history.

I've just watched this again, but it may even be third time I've watched it. All the more poignant given Al's recent passing, but it popped up after I watched Mix With the Masters' tribute to Al, and PureMix tribute on Monday, both of which featured such an impressive array of pro's to talk about their love and appreciation for the great man. To say Al was the Engineers' Engineer would be true, if an understatement, and obvious, but nearly everyone that spoke about Al, spoke about him, his loves, the way he treated musicians, the way he treated everyone, the hidden 'magic' in how he worked, his passions, his endless enthusiasm, and since he was working up to the end with his boy-like enthusiasm and his humanity. And he absolutely did not look his 91 years. It's been so, so inspiring. I get a tremendous amount of my technical information from people like yourself and others, so it took a while to realise why so many of the modern engineers who are famous for their use of compression et al, were all so in awe of The Engineer who is noted for using hardly any. I was wondering what is it that they admire. His 'magic' was obviously on show, but it was more than that, so what was it? It finally dawned, it was everything about him, it was the unending involvement, the pursuit of excellence, the humour, the character, the life, love and soul. It tumbled from his being. It is something to aspire to that doesn't really encompass what he did in the studio. I truly feel, there will never be another engineer on his level again. If people like Bob Clearmountain, Andrew Scheps,, Chris Lord Alge, Jack Joseph Puig, Greg Wells and so many more would hold this man in such awe, where do people like me stand? But then, it became obvious, whatever I do in engineering, firstly, take it seriously because it's a wonderful opportunity to do a wonderful thing, and have fun doing it, and make every event a wonderful and worthwhile experience, treat people with genuine interest and respect - inspiring. Thank you Al

For 88 years young, AL seems very "bright eyed and bushy tailed" ! I loved his comments on "no EQ's or Compressors", and "but Sir.... you don't understand.... I'm not qualified" I could imagine the Duke smiling and thinking, "maybe not now, but after this session, YOU WILL BE". Very nice interview Warren and team, I enjoyed it ;0)

I admire this legend, from the start I began mixing, he is just the benchmark of engineers. Especially only mixing on the ballistics of the VU meters, so no sound necessary for Al. For me, the best engineer ever, and just there under are all the other amazing mixers, like Bob Clearmountain, Nicolas Bolas and other amazing people. And also humble, I had another idea of those people doing that work. It's great the internet is there, to know these legends a little better. Great interview Warren.

What a wonderful story, what a charmed life.I love hearing all these stories of the golden age of recording in real time.For his age at the time of this done he seems so much younger and such vitality, very charismatic individual.Being the age of 67 myself hearing all about the artist and mixing is moving there will never be a time as such.I really think that with the recording industry changing to Pro Tools its not the same.Yes it saves time and money but it is no longer a LIVE recording..In something lost is gained as the saying goes but we have lost the greats Al Schmitt Tommy PaLoma, Phkil Ramone, Tom Dowd, Sir George Martin.These are the ones who were legends of thier time.They knew sound, what mics.,what studio to use...etc.May he rest in peace.What a life , what a man.He will surely be missed but not forgotten.

I came back to watch this again; prompted by firstly watching a Mix with The Masters Q&A with Al, and then a Pensado's Place interview, with Al, and now this. Now, I love the technology and I admire tremendously what people can do with it, but it can't be argued, when it comes down to the fact that, this man can record - granted with some great tube mics and pre-amps - simply by great mic placement (often with omni patterns), no EQ and fader riding instead of compression, then I realise that there is a big hole in my abilities that will probably never be filled, at least, not fully. I come to absorb, I know not what, I just know it's worth it with such great engineers

I'm here because I'm a studio nerd and for the pleasure of hearing Al Schmitt. Video should be longer, and it would be nice to play some of the stuff he worked on, and isten to his comments. Very nice video.

RIP Al. :( I had to come back to this great interview. I'm currently watching his Mix with the Masters video which has been made free this week and I'm in awe at his artistry. No crazy tricks, only the subtlest amount of EQ and compression, just Al using his ears and making the most complex thing in the world look so simple and effortless. As he refines the mix near the end you just see his hands in close up on the board making the tiniest little fader moves, the kind that make all the difference and separate the great artists from the rest. What an amazing guy and what a miss.

What a fantastic interview! The insight to the history of audio engineering through his stories are priceless. The more I dabble with production/engineering, the more appreciation I have for those who paved the way. It fascinates me that they were able to capture such wonderful sound with equipment that is, in many ways, inferior to the humble pile of kit in my basement. People like this had to learn how to get the most out of every small piece of the puzzle. In this current era of recording, we’re consumed by which piece of gear or which plug in to deliver sonic glory. Forgetting more and more, everyday, that the energy of the performance makes the magic. People like Al spent a lifetime time honing the skills to capture that energy straight away. In my opinion, we tend to rely too heavily on post production - and something about that, to my ears, kills some of that magic. I’m glad many of these folks are still around and willing to share their experiences. And thank you Warren for taking the time to put so much together to help the likes of people like me!

What a great interview! So well done. One of the best I ever watched. As a retired engineer myself I can so relate, and have nothing but love for Al and his irascible personality. So sad he's gone now, but WHAT a legend.
