Black Country native, David Mitson didn`t realize that "Go West Young Man" was a movie cliché and duly headed for California in 1985, after a decade playing the UK club circuit as a bass player in various brilliant (or so he says) but unheralded bands.
Soon after arriving in L.A. he was employed by Sony Music (then still CBS records) as assistant engineer to the legendary mastering engineer Joe Gastwirt. When Joe left to open his own facility David was promoted to take over his chair and then in 1992 took on the management of the audio post (mastering) dept. as well as being the senior engineer, eventually becoming Assoc. Director. He was a very busy lad.
