Recording Engineer David Hewitt will be inducted into the TEC Awards Hall of Fame at the 22nd Annual Technical Excellence & Creativity Awards, to be held Saturday, October 7, at the Hilton San Francisco. Presented by the Mix Foundation for Excellence in Audio, the TEC Awards recognizes outstanding achievement in professional audio production and product design.
Pioneering remote recording engineer/mixer David Hewitt’s 35-plus-year career recording live broadcasts, records, and audio for film and video, has earned him multiple TEC Awards, Grammys, Emmys and Cinema Audio Society awards, as well as the respect of the entire pro audio industry. As director of remote services for New York’s Record Plant and founder of Remote Recording Services, Hewitt was one of the first to develop the mobile truck into a top-tier studio environment, integrating sonic isolation, top-level equipment, and technological adaptability fit to record a vast array of projects.
Among Hewitt’s many credits are: Pink Floyd’s The Delicate Sound of Thunder, Live Aid, the Academy Awards, PBS’s Live from the Met series; The Three Tenors, The Complete Last Concert of the Modern Jazz Quartet, Havana Jam, The Metropolitan Opera’s Gala for Joseph Volpe, Eagles Live from Melbourne, classic Neil Young film, Rust Never Sleeps, and the newly-released, Neil Young: Heart of Gold. Hewitt continues to produce the highest standard of recording excellence, with projects covering a wide spectrum of musical genres, well reflecting the creative spirit celebrated by the TEC Awards Hall of Fame.
"David Hewitt is one of most accomplished remote recording engineers in the world," says Hillel Resner, president of the Mix Foundation. "He is universally respected and admired by his peers and clients, both for his skill and his easy-going manner. It will be a privilege to bestow on David this much-deserved honor."
The TEC Awards will be held on the third night of the 121st AES Convention, and is expected to attract more than 700 audio professional from around the world. Proceeds of the ceremony are donated by the Mix Foundation to organizations working for the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss, and to scholarships for students of the audio arts and sciences.
