Scott Litt
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Scott Litt is an American record producer who mostly works with artists in the alternative rock genre and is probably best known for producing six R.E.M. albums (Document, 1987; Green, 1988; Out of Time, 1991; Automatic for the People, 1992; Monster, 1994; and New Adventures in Hi-Fi, 1996). In 1998, R.E.M. and Litt discontinued their cooperation and the band had Patrick McCarthy produce their subsequent albums.
Apart from R.E.M., the commercially most successful act Litt worked with were Nirvana, for whom he mixed the singles Heart-Shaped Box and All Apologies from the 1993 album In Utero, and the posthumous release MTV Unplugged in New York (1994).
Litt, who began in the late 1970s engineering recordings by Ian Hunter and Carly Simon, also worked for The dB's, Juliana Hatfield, Incubus, the Indigo Girls, Paul Kelly, New Order, The Replacements, Patti Smith, Matthew Sweet, and the The Woodentops.
