Scott McDowell on SoundBetter

I’m a pretty good listener.

I’m a grammy nominated recording engineer and music producer who‘s passionate about making great records with great musicians. My goal is to create albums that sound timeless while still feeling fresh and modern. I’ve been working in my room at Hyde Street Studios for over 15 years, producing countless records for local and national acts from indie folk to electronic. I also really enjoy recording out of destination studios! I’ve had great results working in cabins, temples, and caves as well as destination studios like Panoramic in West Marin and Sonic Ranch in West Texas.

    Holy crap - what can you say about Scott other than "HE'S AWESOME!!" ??

    Scott cares deeply for his projects and the only thing that exceeds his experience is his talent. He has access to great resources and a bangin' studio and he is also a very nice person. Give him a shot!
