Working with Brian was a fantastic experience. He is kind, patient, thoughtful and accommodating, while it goes without saying that he is one of the very best mixing engineers around. His mix of my track took it to a level I didn't know it could reach, and I'm so very happy with his work. It was a pleasure working with Brian, and I can't wait until the next time - thanks, Brian!
- check_circleVerified
I took what I learned from a music production course and applied it to an old song: adding many additional tracks in the process. Brian was able to incorporate these into my old mix masterfully. I sent him over 2000 words of notes and he took every last detail into consideration as reflected in the final mix. He's a true talent!
- check_circleVerified
As always, Brian is the best for my music, at least for my kind of music, which is modern classical improvisations. He is a great engineer and a great person! I highly recommend him.
- check_circleVerified
Brian is my go to guy for making seamless micro edits in string performances: taking an awesomely difficult violin solo and making it perfect. He truly understood the vision of what I was going for and his tweaks were flawless.
- check_circleVerified
I loved Brian's mix and master of my piano and cello piece. He totally got what I was trying to do with the music, and he allowed the music to fully express. He also is warm and caring. I will definitely be continuing to work with him on the rest of my project of acoustic piano combined with digital instruments. I'm glad I found him.

Brian is a super great sound pro to work with. Very pro at his field, and also very detail-focused on every little idea that I have about my music. Patient and great work is not enough to describe him. Strongly recommend!
- check_circleVerified
Brian did a tremendous job on a project that needed a lot of help. His experience really came to light when he made dialogue sequences shine that we thought were beyond saving. One of the best mixers & artists we've ever had the joy of working with. Brian has gained a future return customer!

Brian really took three of my old mixes to the next level this time. His attention to detail is extraordinary.
- check_circleVerified
Brian really came through for me: working right up until he had to leave his studio for a month long festival. I am thoroughly satisfied with the finished mix! Sounds exactly as it does in my head!
- check_circleVerified
I can think of no better review than referring you to the songs Last of the Mojitos and The One who Knocks on my upcoming album, Arranged Accidents. Listen to those and you'll be answering the question of whether you want to work with Brian with a HELL YES!

Brian has given me a world class mix yet again! It was my goal to give my dear friend and session violinist the highest level of recording and production of her career, and with Brian's help, I believe this has been achieved.
- check_circleVerified
I can think of no better review to give than to refer you to a song called Last of the Mojitos, which will soon appear on my upcoming album, Arranged Accidents. Brian did masterful work mixing this song. Check out those amazing string performances by 24 Violin too while you're at it!
- check_circleVerified
Working with Brian was an absolute pleasure. He has an excellent ear for high quality detail and was able to help me bring out the best in my mix.
- check_circleVerified
Brian's been doing such a great job mixing my album, that for the sake of giving him sole mixing credits I gave him a previously mixed song to work on that I was already 100% happy with and he took it to an even higher level.
- check_circleVerified
Brian once again proves himself to be the right man for the job. Blending an acoustic guitar into a full orchestral performance is no easy task, but he pulled it off brilliantly. He will always describe in very intelligently written detail the reasoning behind the moves he makes with the pieces you submit to him.
- check_circleVerified
Once again Brian serves as proof that it pays to hire the best. Brian, with his keen ear, found microtonal flaws in the pitch of my string section's performances and corrected them. He's a master at quantizing too. He made everything fit together perfectly in my latest piece.
- check_circleVerified
Once again, Brian has fully realized and surpassed my artistic vision.
- check_circleVerified
Brian is a talented and collaborative professional. I was very impressed with the effort and care that he puts into projects, and would highly recommend him to anyone's consideration the final output exceeded expectations. I enjoyed working with him over the project timeline and would work with him again.
- check_circleVerified
Brian is living proof of the old adage that it pays to hire the best. He wasn't shy to let me know what I could do on my end so he could crank out the best mix possible on his end. He totally exceeded my original vision for the song he worked on.
Brian is a phenomenal engineer. When asked to recommend an engineer in NYC he's almost always my first call. If you need someone with great ears, and immaculate attention to detail there's no way to go wrong with him. He's been the recipient of multiple well deserved Grammy's, and surely there's more to come.
Interview with Brian Losch
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Technical problem solving. Many times I am hired to work in difficult spaces or given audio tracks that are in need of repair. In every situation I strive to bring out the best possible outcome for the music, audio, and production as a whole.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Please provide references for a specific sound you are hoping to achieve. A production can go many different directions and it's best for me to understand what you are looking for so we are both happy!
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I come from a musical family and music production has always been an inherent skill in my life. From the age of 15 I began recording music and later studied music recording, jazz guitar and computer science at University of Miami (Bmus). I also earned a (Mmus) degree in sound recording from McGill University. I have worked and studied at the Banff Centre for the Arts as an audio associate and Tanglewood Music Center as an audio fellow. Moving to New York City to pursue a career as a recording engineer, I had the opportunity to work with renowned music producers and engineers which led to multiple Grammy awards and further opportunities not just in album production, but in television and film.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: The mix starts with musicians, the space, then mic placement. It's much more important to get the capture right, then to attempt a compromised fix later on. (i.e. "fix it in the mix!")
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Typically I am part of a project from start to finish, which includes pre-production, recording, editing, and mixing. Many of my biggest credits are in the classical/jazz genre, but I have a depth of experience in a wide variety of music. I am increasingly involved in post production editing and mixing for a variety of music-based television and film productions.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Acoustic music recorded in acoustic spaces. However, modern production techniques can be just as useful with a well recorded classical album and I often reference top radio mixes. My interests are eclectic: For example, I like to draw from pop productions for inspiration in making acoustic recordings sound larger than life.
