Producers, Mixers, Engineers Recognized at 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards
While the 55thAnnual GRAMMY Awards show was all lights, camera, action (as it should be), it’s good to see the less-extroverted producers, engineers, mixers, and remixers get their due.
Producers produced some winners at the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
Below are the awards highlights from last night’s shindig at the Staples Center in LA, that make note of the people behind the scene.
Congratulations to many of SonicScoop’s friends on this list – job well done!
We like Forbes’ columnist Zack O’Malley Greenburg’s quick take, and the full list of the night’s winners.
