Declet 1 Alex Declet Prof. Sammons MPA 475: Capstone Engineers in Jazz Most of the general public do not know how much goes into the music making process as an engineer. Historically, with devices such as the phonograph, gramophone and early analog tape there was a push to get more audio out to the masses and engineers went from a documentary state of recording to a qualitative state. With technology like the record player, audiences had easy ways of accessing and listening to music in their own homes. The public even today buys physical or digital albums without taking a good look at who or what was involved in the process of making the album complete and ready to sell. The innovative minds in the recording industry, hidden in the liner notes of the albums, were engineers like Rudy Van Gelder, Frank Laico, and Tom Dowd just to name a few.

Engineering the Performance: Recording Engineers, Tacit Knowledge and the Art of Controlling Sound Susan Schmidt Horning
ABSTRACT At the dawn of sound recording, recordists were mechanical engineers whose only training was on the job. As the recording industry grew more sophisticated, so did the technology used to make records, yet the need for recording engineers to use craft skill and tacit knowledge in their work did not diminish. This paper explores the resistance to formalized training of recording engineers and the persistence of tacit knowledge as an indispensable part of the recording engineer’s work. In particular, the concept of ‘microphoning’ – the ability to choose and use microphones to best effect in the recording situation – is discussed as an example of tacit knowledge in action. The recording studio also becomes the site of collaboration between technologists and artists, and this collaboration is at its best a symbiotic working relationship, requiring skills above and beyond either technical or artistic, which could account for one level of ‘performance’ required of the recording engineer. Described by one studio manager as ‘a technician and a diplomat’, the recording engineer performs a number of roles – technical, artistic, socially mediating – that render the concept of formal training problematic, yet necessary for the operation of technically complex equipment. Keywords audio engineering, aural thinking, ‘microphoning’, sound recording, tacit knowledge Engineering the Performance: Recording Engineers, Tacit Knowledge and the Art of Controlling Sound Susan Schmidt Horning Listening to recorded music can be a deeply personal experience, whether through headphones to a portable compact disk (CD) player or to ‘muzak’ intruding on (or enhancing) our retail shopping experience (DeNora, 2002); whether seated in an automobile (Bull, 2001, 2002), at a computer, or in the precisely positioned audiophile listening chair (Perlman, 2004).

When I First Began Researching the Career of British Recording Icon
the first of his “black box” spring reverb units out of a broken heater in 1957 (three years before Alan Young developed what would become the Accutronics Type 4 reverb unit for the Hammond Organ Company). It is also likely that Meek was one of the first engineers to direct inject (DI) the electric bass. As the astute reader may already have gathered, the implementation of these techniques resulted in a major paradigm shift. British pop recordings made in the mid- to late-’50s incorporated a lot of room sound. Microphones were typically placed well away from sources, and separation was achieved by keeping the musicians far apart from each other. Meek close-mic’d sources, largely eliminating the room sound, and then used compressors and limiters to tighten up those sounds and give them more punch. To compensate for the lost ambience, and sometimes to create unnatural ambient effects, Meek would send entire mixes to an echo chamber. He might have also employ tape delay (using a three-head reel-to-reel recorder). It’s quite possible that he was the first person in England to delay signals before routing them to an echo chamber, thus inventing pre-delay. Many producers resented what they perceived as Meek’s challenges to their authority, but because so many of his recordings became hits, other producers – including jazz and world-fusion pioneer Denis Preston – refused to work with anyone else. Meek was also the engineer of choice for numerous artists and record companies. When I first began researching the cutter when he was 24 and used it to cut his first record Trad jazz trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton’s “Bad career of British recording icon Joe – a sound-effects library.
