Charles Richard Plotkin (born September 8, 1942) is an Americanrecord producer,film producer,audio engineer andmixing engineer, best known for his work withBruce Springsteen andBob Dylan.
Plotkin has recorded, engineered,mastered and produced albums by Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan,[1] and many other artists, starting with the Floating House Band in 1972. Just before hooking up with Springsteen for the mixing ofDarkness on the Edge of Town,[2] Plotkin produced theCocaine Drain album bythe Cowsills.[3]
Among Plotkin's major achievements as an engineer was the mastering of Bruce Springsteen'sNebraska album. Springsteen recorded the album as a set of demonstration tapes on an inexpensive homecassette recorder. The task of turning the raw, unprocessedcassette tape (which had spent weeks in Springsteen's pants pocket) into a professional-soundingvinyl LP was a daunting one, and a major technical accomplishment.[4][5]
He has been credited as a producer on several Springsteen albums.
Plotkin was credited as producer for the 1995 movieMirage, and produced the soundtrack albums for several films includingDead Man Walking,Vietnam, Long Time Coming,Philadelphia, andJerry Maguire.
Plotkin was also featured in the 1996 documentaryBlood Brothers: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, which documented anE Street Band recording session the preceding year.
