Matt Hyde (born June 19, 1964) is an American producer, engineer, mixer and musician. From 1982–1985 he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. While still at Berklee (1984) he obtained an internship at Pyramid Recording Studio in Boston. After two semesters at Berklee, Matt took a break from classes to tour for the Department of Defense overseas entertainment program, playing guitar and keyboards in several top 40 cover bands that played shows at U.S. military bases in foreign countries throughout Europe and the Pacific. When Hyde returned to the U.S., he began working at recording studios, first in Boston and from 1989 in Los Angeles.
While working as a staff engineer at Paramount Recording Studios in Los Angeles, Hyde worked with Cypress Hill in preparation for their debut album. He produced several other notable hip hop acts including Freestyle Fellowship, Boo Ya Tribe and Daddy Freddy.
Matt met Perry Farrell and produced (with Perry) tracks on the debut album for Porno for Pyros [1] as well as "Good God's Urge."[2] Matt was so involved with the group that he appeared on the artwork for the single, "Sadness" (Matt is in the center holding the small keyboard)[3] as well as in the video for that song.[4]
In years following, Hyde has been credited as engineer, producer, mixer and/or mastering engineer on notable albums including No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom.,[5] Monster Magnet "Powertrip," Slayer "God Hates Us All," Hatebreed "Perseverance," Parkway Drive "Atlas," and two albums by the Deftones.
In 2006, Hyde was recognized for engineering Jonny Lang's album, "Turn Around," which won a Grammy[6] in the Best Rock or Rap Gospel category.
