Doug Sax
Doug’s interest in recording and mastering led him to give up a career as a symphonic trumpet player. As a part of the original design team for The Mastering Lab, Doug was instrumental in establishing procedures for evaluating different amplifier and power supply designs. Additionally, he pioneered test methods to correctly evaluate the effects of passive components such as resistors, switches, relays, potentiometers, capacitors, wire, inductors and transformers. In 2002, Doug received a TEC Award for Outstanding Creative Achievement for his work on Diana Krall "The Look Of Love" in the Best Record Production/Album category. That album also won a Grammy for Best Engineered Album the same year. Doug was also nominated for a Grammy in the Album Of The Year category for the 2002 Grammys for his work on the Dixie Chicks "Home" album.
In his long career as a mastering engineer, Doug has worked with such diverse talents as The Who, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Kenny Rogers, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Earth, Wind and Fire, Anita Baker, The Rolling Stones, Al Jarreau, Bette Midler, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Willie Nelson, Peter Frampton, Natalie Cole, Ray Charles, Bonnie Rait, Lyle Lovett, Rod Stewart, and Jellyfish.
Doug Sax co-founded Sheffield Lab, which pioneered direct to disc recordings, further establishing an audiophile market and awareness worldwide. That awareness earned Sax a prestigious Lifetime Honorary Membership in AES (Audio Engineering Society). As part of the 2003 Grammy Award Ceremony, Doug was recognized by NARAS for his technical achievements in audio with a Technical Achievement Grammy. He is joined by such luminaries as Rupert Neve, Les Paul, George Massenburg and Ray Dolby for this award.
