Brent Kolatalo on SoundBetter

Grammy nominated Mix Engineer/Producer.Worked on 41 Platinum and Gold albums. Unlimited free revisions. 20+ years experience.

I work with unsigned artists wanting to get a major label sound for a fraction of the cost. Every client gets their music mixed through a SSL mix console and a variety of analog outboard gear that I use to mix on grammy winning records.

A great mix engineer shouldn’t just provide you with a technical process. The best mix engineer’s are able to see the vision of the artist and bring sonic depth and clarity to a song that wasn’t there before. And most importantly, the final mix should inspire.

    This was my 2nd song with Brent, and I can't recommend him enough. He's responsive, displays mastery & finesse in mixing & production and is great at working to my vision. It's amazing how quickly he dials things in to just the track I'm looking for. Really is an industry leader - great job, Brent!

    Our third mix with Brent turned out incredible as always. Very easy to work with, and helped us nail the sound we were hoping for on a song we'd been struggling to finish. Awesome attention to detail and creative mixing touches. Highly recommended!

    This is the sixth song Brent has mixed for me. As always he did an incredible job! I'm really looking forward to releasing this project. Brent takes a song and elevates it to a level that I wouldn't even know how to ask for. He has an incredible ear for both production and mixing, and he uses his skills creatively and wholeheartedly.

    If you have the ability, go with Brent for all your mixing needs. He is kind, professional, and easy to work with.

    A few months ago I was nervous about finding the right person to mix my first album, and now that it's finished I couldn't be happier that Brent was the person I chose. He completely delivered on everything I asked for, met all of my deadlines, and was so easy to work with. Plus, his prices are incredibly generous, especially considering the professional and crisp quality of his work. Just trust me, he's your guy. Thank you Brent!

    This was the third song Brent has mixed and mastered for me. He is very professional and as always and did a great job. He got back with all the revisions I asked for very quickly and ultimately the song turned out killer.

    Brent mixes songs so well. I'm always surprised in the ways he's able to make them shine. This is the fourth time he's mixed for me and I'm very glad I decided to use his services. He's professional and courteous and delivers excellent work.

    Brent is the best in the business. I have taken my songs *EVERYWHERE*, and nobody has nailed our sound as closely as Brent. He is polite, an excellent communicator, and very patient with revisions/edits.

    If you want to improve the sound of your tracks, Brent is your man!

    Brent did an excellent job again! It's always exciting to send him a song knowing that it's going to sound so much better once he's done mixing it.
