Leapwing Audio has announced the release of a new audio plugin that is designed to capture the signature sound of one of the most iconic music producer-engineers.
Developed in collaboration with Al Schmitt, the plugin features 6 distinct profiles: vocal, piano, bass, brass, strings, and mix (bus). Each of the profiles has different sonic characteristics and parameters based on Al’s workflow and perception of each instrument.
“When Al said he wanted to create a plugin with us, we couldn’t have been more excited!”, says Emiliano Caballero, co-founder of Leapwing. “We set out to evaluate and understand all the intricacies that make Al and his sound so unique. The Leapwing team analyzed Al’s workflow, gear and processes of the last decades, from subtle harmonic characteristics to echos, compression and EQ. This then led us to create distinctive features that define his sound.”
