How does Donald Fagen do it?

It seems, to my ears, that Donald Fagen is able to get an amazing sound out of a mixing board, much better than other producers can.  I have read that he is a perfectionist and uses extreme attention to detail when in the studio.  Do you notice the same thing in his recordings?  A shout out to the late Walter Becker too.

Kamakiriad didn’t grab me, at least initially, like Nightfly did. But it has grown on me over the years. The song Florida Room is killer. Anyone listened to the song Gaucho side-by-side vs. Keith Jarrett’s ‘Long As You Know You’re Living Yours, from the album Belonging? Supposedly Jarrett took legal action and won (see Keith Jarrett wiki). To me the songs are too similar to be pure coincidence.
