Brian iele includes a FREE audio quality report on the mastering service that really helps you to get the most out of your mixes before mastering. Send us one unmastered mix and you will get a complete audio quality report in 48 hours.

We have found that most of the problems presented by a less than perfect mix can´t be fixed in mastering, so we invest almost as much time to review the audio quality of the mixes as to the mastering process itself. A Mix review process renders overwhelmingly superior quality mixes before even initiating the mastering stage.
Studio gear is important, but experience and good judgement, as well as full involvement in every project are also key offerings. We are committed to be 100% responsive to your needs.

- Audio Mastering for every format, in stereo and surround 5.1: Vinyl, CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, iTunes (MFiT)
- Mix Coaching (can also be hired separately from our mastering services)
- Seminars and workshops available under request in English and Spanish - Please contact us.

    As a producer looking for specific balance in my more detailed work, working with Brian is brilliant. Each time we work together, Brian quickly understands my vision for each track which comes from his upfront discussions with me and his excellent attention to detail. I really appreciate that Brian doesn't rush work, I completely trust him to take the time he needs to get my work done and it always comes back high quality.

    I just finished my fourth project with Brian to date and I plan on continuing coming back and getting my songs mastered by him for all of my upcoming projects as well. He really cares and goes above and beyond to get the perfect product for you. He's super talented, has an amazing ear and is super punctual and professional. Also, one of the things that makes him so unique is the mix feedback he gives you to tweak before he masters ––I haven't seen others offer this but it's a huge game changer!

    Extremely Happy Customer

    The reason I will continue to work with Brian is twofold. First he did the best job mastering my music but just as important he took the time to review/critique the song and suggest what he felt should be changed before he worked on the song.
    I had 3 different engineers master the same song and Brian was the only one who did this. I would have expected it from anyone who Masters/Mixes for a living but it was not the case. This is why his final master sounds the best o

  15. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
