Ace recording engineer/mixer Jim Scott may be one of the best examples of a disappearing breed. He started his career in the analog days as a gofer at Record Plant LA and worked his way up through the traditional tiers from janitor to assistant engineer, and eventually “super-assistant.â€Â His first gig as a fledgling solo engineer was for Sting’s solo debut, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, an album which earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered album. Not a bad start.

When Scott’s home base at Cello Studios (formerly a division of Ocean Way) closed down in 2005, he took a radical turn in his career and built his own studio in a brand new warehouse building on the outskirts of LA. For a PDF of the story which appeared in Mix magazine, click here: 902mix38_jimscott_dp6.
