For the past 16 years I worked for Sony Music Entertainment as a Mastering Engineer. There, I had the honor and opportunity to contribute my skills and expertise on many award winning recordings, with artists ranging from Donald Fagen to Wayne Shorter and Britney Spears to Bob Dylan.
Equally versatile in the analog domain as well in the digital realm, I’ve used a variety of DAW tools such as Protools, Izotope RX, Adobe Audition, Pyramix and Sequoia. I have extensive experience in audio restoration, mastering, editing, digitizing and mixing.
I participated in the preservation, digitization and mastering of part of the Metropolitan Opera of NY and Jazz at Lincoln Center Catalogue.

check_circleVerifiedI would have to believe that it was only divine intevention through which we found Maria Triana. When I received the files back after Maria had mastered our record and listened to the absolute magic that Maria had created I just sat there stunned at what I heard and tears of joy were running down my face. On both a technical and emotional level, Maria gave us an 'x' factor level gift. Maria should be on everyone's 'first call' list, she is just that amazing! I know that she is for sure on mine!

Interview with Maria Triana
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I love the camaraderie I have with Marco Spaventi. He is a fantastic engineer. I'm happy to give engineer referrals according to the music style.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I like to use both. I think they complement each other well. The color and naturality you achieve from using analog plus the flexibility and how surgically you can get when using Digital.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love to explore and find that unique sound each artist has, to find how I can enhance their voice and their identity through their music.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: They mostly want to know about the signal processing I used on their songs. I love talking about audio, I teach audio and enjoy sharing what I do. I believe we can all grow and learn from each other.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I think it is important to know your clients. I ask for musical references. I want to know their musical taste. Music speaks for itself. Listening to what they're listening to and then to the source I will master gives me an idea of what sonic imprint I should work on.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been a mastering engineer for over 20 years. I started as a general assistant at Sony Music Studios. Through learning and experience, I earned the trust of other mastering engineers and became their assistant. I was fortunate to assist and learn from some of the best mastering engineers, who I have always admired. Little by little that led me to become a mastering engineer.
