Timeline
William Herman Carlos Schwartau (22 June 1926, in New York City – 31 October 1985, in New York City) was an American recording engineer.
Schwartau was a mentor to engineer Phil Ramone, who called Schwartau "one of the unsung heroes of our industry".
Schwartau started MIT in 1942.
Schwartau worked for NBC in 1942 in Guest Relations.
He was given a leave of absence in 1944.
In 1945, he was promoted to Radio Technician (RT 3/C).
He pledged with the Phi Kappa fraternity and was expected to graduate in 1946.
Schwartau served in the US Navy.
He returned in 1946 after serving as an Electronic Technician's Mate (ETM 2/C) on the USS John A. Bole.
At that time, the destroyer was patrolling near China, Japan, Okinawa, and Korea.
According to his son, Winn, Schwartau worked on developing the oscilloscope and on radar systems in the military.
After serving in the military, he joined NABET (the broadcasting union) in 1949 and started working at NBC in 1950.
Not long after he started working at NBC (in 1950), he met engineer Mary Caroline Bell.
The two married six weeks later.
Since that wasn't allowed by the company, Mary was reassigned to the 4th floor (where she was the broadcast engineer and editor for the nightly news).
Winn says he was editing tapes at their home studio when he was 5 years old.
His mother, Mary Caroline Bell said he started editing 1/4" tapes at 6 years old.
He was with Decca Records (start date unknown) until later 1953.
He was working at Coastal Recording when he was appointed Chief Engineer at A&R Recording in New York in December 1958 (Phil Ramone was a co-founder).
The first major album recorded at the studio was The Genius of Ray Charles, which was engineered by Tom Dowd and Schwartau with Phil Ramone as "third assistant."
Ramone said of Schwartau in his autobiography, "Bill Schwartau was one of the unsung heroes of our industry, and every recording professional on the East Coast admired him. His ability to hear 'through the microphone' was impeccable; and when Bill set up a session, what you heard in the studio matched what you heard in the control room. He used microphones and aural shading to convey subtlety and nuance in the same way a painter uses light and color."
He married Carolyn Leibersberger in 1958.
Schwartau worked for NBC, Decca, Coastal Recording Studio (which dissolved in 1959), and Music Makers.
In 1959, Scwartau was hired as sound engineer at Music Makers "to attempt to crack the obstacles of poor sound transfers in commercial prints. It was announced he was promoted to Vice President of production at Music Makers in 1960. In 1962, he was named production supervisor and chief engineer of Sound Maker's Studio. He also engineer the influential jazz album Money Jungle with Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Max Roach.
Schwartau died in 1985 after a long illness.
