Tom Dowd: The Language of Music

I own it on DVD and it's an incredible story/documentary. One of my favorite music docs.

Dude worked on the Manhattan Project while in the military. then went back to college to get a physics degree, but what he had worked on in the military(and his knowledge) had already passed the curriculum, so he left and started working as a music studio engineer.

He came up with the idea of using faders on mixing boards, they used to be knobs/dials.

Dude was a genius.

The piano part was written/played by Jim Gordon

The legendary drummer of Derek and the Dominos who also played with George Harrison and many others. Unfortunately, his life became quite tragic.

Great album, but the mix is horrible.

Tom Dowd is a fantastic producer and engineer, but he buried Jim Gordon’s drums. Recent updates have helped a bit, but it is still muddy.
Exactly, Gap, Gordon was phenomenal.

He also played on a few Traffic records, including Low Spark. His undiagnosed schizophrenia is a horrible story with tragc consequences.
