Linett created the first true stereo mix of the Beach Boys' 1966 album Pet Sounds[6] and has co-produced nearly all of the band's archival releases, including The Pet Sounds Sessions (1997), Endless Harmony Soundtrack (1998), Hawthorne, CA (2003), and The Smile Sessions (2011)[7] as well as the Feel Flows (2021) and Sail On Sailor (2022) box sets.

To create remixes of the Beach Boys' catalog, Linett uses ProTools as his DAW of choice, although he keeps analog tape machines for the purpose of transferring to digital.[9] Since 2000, producer Alan Boyd, the band's archive manager, has been his longtime partner for such projects.[10]
