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.

Al Schmitt has worked with the best and the brightest in the recording industry, including Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Usher, and Dr. Dre, to name a few. He has recorded and mixed over 150 gold and platinum records and has gone on to receive 23 Grammys for engineering albums by such artists as Steely Dan, Toto, Natalie Cole, Quincy Jones, Diana Krall, Luis Miguel, Ray Charles, Chick Corea, DeeDee Bridgewater, and Paul McCartney.

Schmitt was inducted into the TEC Awards Hall of Fame in 1997, and he was awarded the NARAS Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2006. In 2015, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of the Capitol Records building--the first engineer to be so honored.
