    He ripped, now RIP!

    He recorded Henry Mancini, Steely Dan, Barbara Steisand, Hot Fucking Tuna, Neil Young, George Benson, Bill Evans, Kenny Rodgers, Sam Cook, Dr. John, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Toto, Diana Krall, Robbie Williams, Paul McCartney...and the list goes on and on!

    The guy knew his shit and was THE consummate professional.

    Sad day. The news of his passing hit me hard. When I was starting to get my feet wet, for a period of about 9 months I assisted in several sessions Al engineered. As I mentioned on another thread, Al was against EQ during tracking, and compression use was minimal. These techniques he learned from Tom Dowd, and which Al preached as gospel to every engineer that crossed his path. With his passing, the greatest engineer of all times leaves us a legacy that encompasses more than 7 decades. Those who knew him personally, and learned from him are extremely grateful for such a privilege and invaluable experience. Al may be physically gone but his spirit remains in countless current and future records. Every time I take part in a tracking session or sit behind a mixing console, Al is there next to me.
    RIP Al... and thank you.:bow:

    At 91 he lived a life of immense acheivement. From Sinatra to McCartney he was a man of dignity and genius.

    Without any doubt, Al was The greatest enginer of all times.
    People who knew him are fortunate.
    My condolences to their family and friends.
