scott e. hull -lrb- born january 28 , 1962 -rrb- is a mastering engineer based in new york city , and the owner of masterdisk .
hull began his career as an intern at masterdisk in 1983 .
he became bob ludwig 's assistant in 1984 , and was promoted to chief engineer in 1994 .
in this first part of his career at masterdisk hull mastered albums for the following artists : donald fagen , miles davis , bruce springsteen , spacehog , ani difranco , lemonheads , garbage , shawn mullins and multiple titles on the luaka bop label .
hull remained chief engineer until 1999 when he left masterdisk and moved to classic sound .
while at classic sound hull mastered the grammy winning steely dan album `` two against nature '' and the john mayer album `` room for squares '' .
hull left classic sound when he was approached by the hit factory , where he stayed until they shut down in early 2005 .
while at the hit factory hull mastered albums for amy grant , skillet , edie brickell , and john zorn .
when the hit factory closed , hull became chief engineer at jigsaw sound .
after jigsaw , hull opened his own company , scott hull mastering .
in an interview with the rain computers website , hull explained his decision to start his own company : this is really a continuation of all of the things i have been doing with music for the past 25 years .
it was finally time to open my own shop and set up a mastering room that catered to the music business as it exists today .
cost conscious major labels and the growing trend of independently produced mass-market music - that 's where the next generation of music will emerge .
hull returned to masterdisk in 2008 , when he purchased the business from then-ceo , doug levine .
about the acquisition of the company hull said , `` i felt that masterdisk was a flagship mastering studio that could be rejuvenated to be as profound as it once had been . ''
hull also said that he planned `` an enthusiastic re-dedication to the ` excellent customer service , spread around multiple rooms ' that characterized masterdisk in the 1970s and 80s . ''
