Camarata "Historically, Recording had been the tributary that fed the twin rivers of Film and Radio. There is perhaps no single media outlet today that rivals the importance of radio in the first half of the last century. Not only were many of the first radio stations de facto recording studios, the consoles and the engineers were likewise products of some thin frequency on the dial. And film had always been years, if not decades, ahead of the recording industry's technology (Consider: Fantasia, from 1939, was recorded in an early form of surround sound.)" - Jim Cogan Certain studios in recording history stood out for their uniqueness and reputation for churning out hit records. Aside from the talents of the performing artists, producers and engineers some factor has to be attributed to the actual studio itself for the resultant quality of sound. Throughout Scotty's career he's had the opportunity to be affiliated with several. Its beyond the scope of this section to list all the great studios, the thousands of songs that were recorded in them, or even the hundreds that Scotty played on*. Rather, in this section we'll cover some of the histories, design, equipment and associations of some of the studios that Scotty has recorded and/or produced and engineered in.
