Scott Litt
From Wikipedia, 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 1997, R.E.M. and Litt discontinued their collaboration and the band had Patrick McCarthy produce their subsequent albums.
Apart from R.E.M., the most commercially successful act Litt worked with was 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 Litt also remixed "Pennyroyal Tea", and the remix was set to be released on Pennyroyal Tea's single, but the single was retracted shortly after Kurt Cobain's death. His remix can be found on Nirvana's self-titled greatest hits collection.
Litt, who began in the late 1970s engineering recordings by Ian Hunter and Carly Simon, also worked for The dB's, Juliana Hatfield, the Indigo Girls, Paul Kelly, New Order, The Replacements, Patti Smith, Matthew Sweet, The Woodentops, That Petrol Emotion, Counting Crows, and Days of the New. More recently, Litt worked with Incubus to produce two of their records Make Yourself (1999) and Morning View (2001).
