Leapwing Audio Al Schmitt
Al Schmitt Signature Mixing Plugin
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.
