Swedien died on November 16, 2020, at the age of 86, from surgery complications for a broken hip caused by a fall. On August 30, 2015, Swedien was presented the Pensado Giant Award at the second annual Pensado Awards held at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. Swedien also held classes at the Swedish National Radio for practicing sound engineers. On November 10, 2001, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in philosophy from the Luleå University of Technology for his achievements as a sound engineer. He worked on the scores for Night Shift, The Color Purple and Running Scared. His pop work included recordings by Patti Austin, Natalie Cole, Roberta Flack, Mick Jagger, David Hasselhoff, Jennifer Lopez, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross, Rufus, Chaka Khan, Barbra Streisand, Lena Horne, Donna Summer, and Sarah Vaughan. Swedien wrote about his experience working with Jackson in a 2009 book titled In the Studio With Michael Jackson. He would often experiment while recording with Jackson, having the singer stand at different distances from the microphone and singing through a cardboard tube, among other techniques. This achieved an enhanced roomy ambient sound, some of which is evident on albums produced in collaboration with Jones on such tracks as George Benson's " Give Me the Night", and the Michael Jackson albums on which he had worked. Swedien was known for pioneering the "Acusonic Recording Process", pairing up microphones together on vocals and instruments, a technique enabled by synchronizing several multi-track recorders with SMPTE timecode. The label was responsible for numerous R&B and pop hits during that time, with artists such as The Chi-Lites, Tyrone Davis and Jackie Wilson. Swedien moved to Brunswick Records where he ran and developed the label's studios and sound in the late 1960s and 1970s. The two worked on albums for artists like Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan.
He first met Quincy Jones when Jones was vice president for Mercury Records in Chicago. Shortly after that, he left for Universal Recording Corporation where he worked under chief engineer Bill Putnam. In 1957, he left Minneapolis and began working for RCA Victor Records in Chicago. However, in late 1957, he sold the studio and relocated to Chicago. He transformed the space into the Swedien Recording Studio, where he produced and recorded music for several years with artists such as Art Blakey and Herbie Mann.
