Description
Leapwing Al Schmitt is an innovative audio processor for mixing and mastering
that incorporates the unique techniques and equipment used by multi-award
winning engineer, Al Schmitt. Al has been in the recording business since
1949 – and before that, as a child, he actually spent weekends in his uncle’s
recording studio watching history being made by artists such as Bing Crosby and
the Andrew Sisters! His recording techniques were forged in the early days of
recording, before the invention of multitrack tape recorders, large scale mixing
consoles and even EQ! He has recorded and mixed artists from Frank Sinatra and
Natalie Cole to Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna, Boz Scaggs, Jackson Browne, Paul
McCartney, Bob Dylan, and Toto. We worked with Al to analyze the tools and the
workflows he uses to bring you this set of unique processors perfect for recording
and mixing duties.
