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.

    Our 2nd song working with Brent, still loving it. He mixed our song with his creativity, and revised it well according to the artist's requests. We are so thankful for it, can't wait to send him our next song.

    Our song is done professionally, Brent brought the song to its completion with his creative mixing. Brent is very good at this, and we will be sending more songs for him to mix. He is also very easy to communicate, and work with professionally.

    i have been struggling with my song for months and worked with 3 different engineers and none were able to get it right. The way brent very patiently listened to what i needed and got it right each time i asked was amazing and i literally could not have asked for someone better to mix this song for me. Brent thank you so much!

    Absolutely stunning results. WOW! There are mixers, and then there are those mixers who work on a whole other tier. That's Brent. If you're looking to compete with ANY of the big sounding artists streaming or on commercial radio, you'll need someone of Brent's caliber. it's almost impossible to find this level of quality at this price. Trust me!

    2nd Track done and dusted with 6 more to go, honestly this entire process is usually something I dread, but with Brent it's a breeze.
