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.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

    Brent has immense talent as well as patience, emphasis on patience lol! Back to a more serious note, Brent was able to turn around a mix quickly while still maintaining great quality. Every single revision, he met. Every single question, he answered. I highly recommend Brent and will definitely be going back to him with future projects!

    This man turned my somewhat decent sounds into a serious professional project. He also has a very strong background in music production and is very considerate to any additional requests that you might have and will often take initiative to further improve your work. If you want your artistic endeavors to be taken seriously, go with Brent.

    Really great engineer and mix. While he is an expert he showed humility and delivered what I wanted to hear from the song and gave me exactly what I imagined.
