Leapwing Al Shmitt

[Larry Shelby]

We are really excited to announce a very special project for us. It's a little different from our One series that you've gotten to know us for. More than a year ago, we embarked on this journey to create a signature plugin with none other than legendary producer/engineer Al Schmitt, aiming to capture his legacy and unique sound.

We set out to evaluate and understand all the intricacies that make Al and his sound so unique. Our team analyzed Al’s workflow, gear and processes of the last decades, from subtle harmonic characteristics to echos, compression and EQ. 

The Al Schmitt signature plugin has 6 distinct profiles: vocal, piano, bass, brass, strings, and mix (bus). Each one has different sonic characteristics and parameters based on Al’s workflow and perception of each instrument. Distilled to minimal controls, and conceived to allow you to get your sound instantly.

For those of you who don't know Al, he is an industry veteran, who has been recording artists for over 7 decades, all the way from Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Miles Davis; to Johnny Cash, and Steely Dan. Add to that Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole, Diana Krall, Celine Dion or Paul McCartney... and you’ll see why there are few within the music industry who have overseen more culture-defining artistic moments than Al Schmitt. As a winner of 20 Grammy awards, 2 Latin Grammys and a Trustees Grammy for Lifetime Achievement, Al has helped artists garner an astounding 160 gold and platinum albums.

Below you will find the key features of our Al Schmitt plugin.
But don’t take our word for it, download it yourself and give it a try!
