He was my favourite recording engineer stateside (most of my other faves are British).
I use his drum samples on everything I do; no one else's come close to having such an organic feel.

Dayum Mark.
He was my fave too, along with Bruce Swedian.

What an inspiration he was to so many of us. Working up into his 90's. Craft in so many genres. The METAlliance has lost another industry legend.

I was a big fan. I'm pretty sure it was Al in an interview in EQ Magazine, that "we're all just twisting knobs until it sounds good."

So sad to hear that news.
Al was and is an inspiration to me.
He leaves us with a legacy of great mixes.
Hey Jim, love the knob twist quote.
I keep twisting and occasionally get it right.
We are all searching for the beautiful sounds.
Sending deep respect to Al.
