Elliot Scheiner
 |
History: When Elliot Scheiner first took a job working for Phil Ramone in October of 1967, he probably never imagined that 30 years later he would be one of the most successful producer/engineers in the industry today. He started as Phil Ramone's assistant at A&R Recording in New York City and quickly advanced to an engineer. By 1973 he had begun to freelance as an engineer and producer becoming the first person ever to work as a freelance engineer for other artists.
Since then Elliot has produced and engineered an eclectic array of talented artists such as Beck, Faith Hill, Steely Dan, Ricky Martin, Sting, Bruce Hornsby, The Eagles, B.B. King, Van Morrison, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith and many others. He mixed the IMAX film All Access in surround sound. The film footage includes Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow, Macy Gray, Kid Rock, Moby, George Clinton, Mary J. Blige, Al Green, and Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20).
