Tom Lord-Alge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Lord-Alge is a 3-time Grammy award winning record producer and mixer widely known as a leader in music mixing. His older brother, Chris Lord-Alge, is also a mix engineer.
Tom helped pioneer a method of digital tape editing known as "flying" vocals (e.g., using a piece of the chorus to accent a different part of the song, etc.). This is not uncommon when done by a producer but much less so among engineers, largely due to a fear of offending the songwriter, artist, etc... If he thinks it works better, he does it. If they don't like it, they don't have to use it. This was quite revolutionary, at least at the time.
Perhaps the world's most prolific mix engineer, Tom continues to turn out a massive quantity of work, mixing such popular artists as Sarah Brightman, Sarah McLachlan, Marilyn Manson, Oasis, Sum 41, The Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel, Blink-182, David Poe, Avril Lavigne, U2, and many more...
