I actually have 2 favorites that I couldn't really choose between the two, so I'll just pick two from each.

Mark Trombino
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

Ed Rose
Motion City Soundtrack - I Am The Movie

BLueROom · 14th October 2007

Eddie Kramer is hard to beat IMHO ... I think it would be beneficial to include the engineer's name too.

Gregg Sartiano · 15th October 2007

Sonically "favorite" or favorite (all-around) listen?

Quirky sounds-in-service-of-the-song engineering or "holy s&*t, those drums and guitars are HUGE!!!" engineering? (OK, that's "production," but the engineer has to execute the producer's vision).

Mix engineer only or tracking & mixing engineer?

The classical folks will have a field day with this topic...
