Scott Hull and his "MasterMonster" ATR-100 ONE-inch/HALF-inch 2 Track
Scott says: "It sounds magnificent" (Just what we like to hear...)
The beautiful new mastering suite at the Hit Factory, NYC, was built for Scott and completed in January of 2003.
Scott says: "It really wasn't finished until February, when I received my new ATR-100 from MDI Precision"
Update: Facing tough times in both the economy and the music biz, the Hit Factory closed its doors in 2006. The ATR-100 (in the background) was eventually purchased by a facility in San Francisco and, to our knowledge, is in use today.

Update: Though the Hit Factory is gone, Scott Hull is very much alive and well. After departing the Hit Factory and striking out on his own, we're pleased and proud to say that Scott acquired another ATR-100 from us - his third PrecisionMotorWorks machine.
More recently, we'd like to congratulate Scott on his acquisition of MasterDisk studios. As the President of that facility, Scott is on top of his game and to this day, he swears by the ATR-100 recorders we've delivered to him as the very best of breed.
Excerpt below, from his website:
This is Scott Hull Mastering
Mid-Town Manhattan. Inches from Birdland. On the 4th floor of an unasuming pre-war commercial building sits the sound of a multi-generational secret passed through the great mastering engineers of the 20th century. Here, in a space he designed for himself, works another in that long line. Its the man who put the sheen on John Mayer and Edie Brickell. Its the sound of Steely Dan's Grammy award winning Two Against Nature. Scott Hull loves music. And he loves a challenge.

I installed the EMC ATR-100 heads that we bought from you on the ATR that we bought from an eBay seller and while I did have several problems with his machine your heads were perfect. This is our first set of EMC heads and I am very pleased with the results......
