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 am very happy I chose Brent to mix my song, not only does he have the experience and qualifications you would want to see in a pro mixing engineer but he is extremely patient and it was an enjoyable experience to work with him.
    If you're looking for someone to take your song or project to the next level I highly recommend Brent as your mixer.

    My seventh time working with Brent, and I'm extremely grateful to work with him as always. I've got one more mix with him so I'll save my full thoughts for that review, but again, I highly recommend working with Brent.

    I asked for a radio friendly mix of my pop song and that's exactly what I got. Brent was very attentive, a pleasure to work with

    I really enjoyed working with Brent on a new song of mine. He is a high skilled mix engineer and was able to shape and tighten up my raw files and ideas. Not only was Brent extremely accommodating to my specific requests for the mix but he was also great at keeping the line of communication open. I hope to work with Brent again in the near future.

    The Mix is AWESOME!!!!!! Brilliant Job! It is everything that we hoped for and more. Brent's mixing technique, dynamics, and additions have done it and taken our song to a Major Label Sound.
    He is on the cutting edge of the modern sounding hit. A pleasure to work with. Could not possibly be happier. He's just plain GREAT!

    Brent does what only hi-caliber engineers do, with excellent ears and attention to the small details that really matter. I'm really glad I found him. He knows how to mix drums and guitars, and capture the small things that only good ears would notice, he mixes like an award winning engineer because he is. We're lucky to have access to someone of this caliber. Thank you Brent! See you next time.
