When the manufacturing industry, magazines, forums and blogs publicize all sorts of "magic gear" and a myriad of "necessary" plugins, then comes along the most awarded recording engineer of all time, with hardly anything other than simple gain staging and good mics (console is flat), and makes a world class sounding tune.

Wow..the clarity and tonal balance from this mix is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥 you could listen to the bass + vocals ONLY the whole day

Find some of the old Schmitt recordings from the 60's. You'll be stunned by how amazing they sound even by today's standards.

Hello fab, I just wanted to say thank you for this video, you have got a new subscriber to your services. I love how Al, placed the base in its place. Yes, sir. It requires skill and refinement, to know how to feature an instrument and then put it in his place.

Please tell me the name of this song. I know the artist, what is the title of this track? Seems like it can’t be found. This video, underscores, refinement and skill, artistry, experience. One day, I’ll be like that. :-) I want to say it one more time though just because I want to be clear. How can I find the name of that song. Thank you if you Reply, if you don’t well, thank you anyway. Lol :-)

A good balanced bass has to be the source. I’m surprised he didn’t do more.
