Brandon did an amazing job finishing my mixes and mastering my tracks. The finished product was radio ready and my music never sounded so good!
Along the way, Brandon paid meticulous attention to detail. He clearly communicated any issues he found and how he would remedy them - helping me to get better mix on my own. He was detailed when we it came to feedback and was easy to speak. Fast, friendly and professional. I highly recommend working with B Callihan -you mixes will thank you!

I hired Brandon for a project for an art installation that required an incredibly fast turn around. He helped me brainstorm what was needed taking into consideration the ambiance of the room where the sound would be played, the type of mood I wanted to set and ensured the loop was seamless. He delivered a couple options to me incredibly fast and I allowed me to choose the option I felt would fit best. He expanded on my fav option and delivered the final project super fast. His demeanor was very energetic and he was completely committed to my project.
