When Mr. 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. From that start his career quickly progressed. By 1973, he freelanced as an engineer and producer becoming the first person ever to work as a freelance engineer for other artists. Mr. Scheiner began as a musician playing percussion in various bands including Jimmy Buffet’s Coral Reefers but his heart was always in the studio. He has produced an eclectic array of talented artists such as Steely Dan, Van Morrison, Fleetwood Mac, Sting, Bruce Hornsby, the Eagles, B.B. King, Aerosmith, and many others. His talents have been recognized with 16 Grammy Award nominations, five of which he won, two Emmy nominations, and three TEC Award nominations. Mr. Scheiner continues to be one of the most sought after producers and engineers in the industry, and is one of the world’s leading authorities on 5.1 Surround Sound mixing and DVD audio.
