We note with sorrow the death, at 66, of the great recording engineer Roger Nichols — best known for the immaculate recordings and mixes he made with Steely Dan. His artistic brilliance and superb technical craftsmanship were an inspiration to me and to countless other engineers.
His New York Times obituary is here.
One Comment
Mal,
Most mixers/engineers know that Roger’s nickname was “The Immortal”. Well, in my humble opinion, he truly IS immortal, because he will live on through his amazing work. I was born in 1965, too young to understand the impact the Beatles had at the time. For me, Steely Dan and Roger Nichols were MY Beatles.
He will be missed.
