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.

    Our 5th song is done, love working with Brent as always.
    He is our favorite mixing engineer, can't wait to send him next song.

    Brent is top of the line. Mixing is a very specialised profession and there aren't many out there that really cut it as mix engineer's. It all about having the feel, great judgement and of course sculpting the sound! Mixing is as important as the song itself and on top of that, you need to be able to communicate what you are looking for and get meaningful feedback. So, if you want one of the best out there, talk to Brent, he's now mixing my entire album. 5/5

    Brent was always professional in his communications & timely with turnarounds for revisions. He's efficient with the work and takes feedback gracefully. Whatever you bring to Brent, be assured he's able to elevate the quality, polish and vibrancy of your track to ensure its realized in its best light.

    I would happily collaborate with Brent again!

    Brent did a brilliant job. He took us to the next level with his mix. You don't need to tell him much. He just does it right! It was just so much fun working with him. Great guy. Thanks!

    I thought I had done a good job mixing my production, but everything changed when I sent my song to Brent for a final mixdown. The moment I heard what he had done, I couldn't contain my excitement and shouted in joy on the streets of New York City! The balance he achieved and the added energy transformed my song from great to truly professional. If you're serious about your music, let Brent mix your next track!
