AL SCHMITT.

In retrospect, figuring out that Al would end up behind a console is somewhat of a no-brainer.

He literally grew up in a studio.

Already at the age of seven, he hung out with his uncle Harry, who also was an engineer, to help set out chairs for musicians, clean patch cables and whatever came with being a helper during sessions back then.
七岁的时候,他就和同样是工程师的叔叔哈里(Harry)在一起,帮忙为音乐家摆好椅子,清理电缆,以及在当时的治疗过程中帮助他们做的任何事情。
This was in the thriving days of the late 1930s New York big band and jazz scene.

That scene was buzzing, with loads of work and studios scattered all over the city.
