Casey Neiditch
Casey Neiditch has nearly 20 years of recording experience, beginning with engineering courses taken at his local college. After moving to Los Angeles from Santa Cruz, Neiditch spent two years working for Group IV Recording, at the time one of the top studios in Hollywood, where he worked mainly as an assistant engineer on large orchestral dates for film scores.
As Neiditch’s knowledge grew, so did his project studio, which he first set up in the early ’90s. Neiditch began working with local bands such as Head, Fugitive Pope, and The Sugarplastic.
Neiditch currently works as a sound designer for the Illusion Factory in Los Angeles where he has done extensive work with Warner Bros. television, as well as on independent films, though his first love remains helping artists create a high-quality product through his engineering experience.
