Audio engineers played a crucial role in the evolution of the Nashville sound through the combination of their technical prowess, their own musicianship and their ability to understand the needs of the artist, the music, and bring to fore the elements of a hit song. In 2012 the Nashville Chapter of the AES began to honor these audio engineers with the AES Nashville Lifetime Achievement Awards.Highlights from the past three AES Nashville Lifetime Achievement Awards presentations will be featured in this program, including audio recordings, still images, video interviews and video footage from the presentations.
