In Al
Schmitt on Vocal and
Instrumental Recording
Techniques, legendary
producer and engineer Al
Schmitt takes us into the
studio and shares his
process of selecting a
microphone and shows us
how to get the best
sounds. Considerations
such as song style,
instrumentation, and the
recording space itself
are taken into account
when making mic choices
and determining the best
placement for each.
Schmitt demonstrates how
to achieve the best
sounds for a number of
instruments –
including drums, bass,
piano, guitars (both
acoustic and electric),
organs, and horns
– across many
genres of music. Drawing
on decades of experience
in the studio, Schmitt
brings a unique and
invaluable perspective to
not only making mic
choices and their
placement, but also the
importance of interacting
with musicians –
taking their vision and
preferences into account
to create the most
comfortable and effective
recording experience for
all involved. Also
featured in Vocal and
Instrumental Recording
Techniques is an
interview of Schmitt
conducted by fellow
METAlliance producer and
engineer Ed Cherney.
