Mark Linett is an American record producer and audio engineer who is best known for his remixing and remastering of the Beach Boys' catalog.[1][2] Since 1988, he has been the engineer for Brian Wilson's recordings.[3] He has also worked with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Los Lobos, Rickie Lee Jones and Randy Newman.[4] Linett is based in Glendale, California, where he owns a home studio, Your Place or Mine Recording.[5]
Linett created the first true stereo mix of the Beach Boys' 1966 album Pet Sounds[6] and has co-produced many of the band's archival release, including The Pet Sounds Sessions (1997), Endless Harmony Soundtrack (1998), Hawthorne, CA (2003), and The Smile Sessions (2011)[7] as well as the Feel Flows (2021) and Sail On Sailor (2022) box sets. In addition to winning three[needs update] Grammy Awards, he was nominated for Best Engineered Album for his work on Brian Wilson Presents Smile (2004).[2] In 2014, Linett made a cameo appearance as Chuck Britz in the Brian Wilson biopic Love & Mercy.[8]
To create remixes of the Beach Boys' catalog, Linett uses ProTools as his DAW of choice, although he keeps analog tape machines for the purpose of transferring to digital.[9] Since 2000, producer Alan Boyd, the band's archive manager, has been his longtime partner for such projects.[10]
