Maria Triana on SoundBetter

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.

Outstanding mastering. Maria brought my song to life.

My partner and I wrote a song as a tribute to our late father, and it carried a deep emotional weight for us, so much so that we knew we needed someone else to take on the mixing and mastering. Maria handled it with incredible sensitivity and professionalism. So that it almost feels like she was in the studio with us while we were recording and knew us for many years. We feel ourselves very lucky to have worked with Maria and we are looking forward to work with her in our other projects.

Again a deep bow to Maria for levelling up every aspect of my mix. She is a top-notch professional - I don't think that sound has any secret for her and neither do musical genres - and she is also super fun to work with. Hats off and thumbs up. Thanks Maria!

Working with Maria feels so beautifully easeful, even when I need small 'tweaks' made, she is very respectful, listens, & delivers what i've asked for. This is my third song Maria has now mastered & I'm truly looking forward to creating the rest of my album with her.

Superb as always! Maria was attentive to all my references & guiding ideas, and added even more! The final master has exactly the energy I was looking for, plus the unique enhancement that Maria brings. As always, the process was smooth and collaborative. Looking forward to working on the next song together. Friendly, professional, creatively sharp, patient. Highly recommended!

Maria was very responsive and understood exactly what I was going for, the turn around time was great and the mastered track was everything I could hope for. I would definitely be happy to work with Maria again.

I loved working with Maria. Not only is she great at what she does, I felt I could also trust her to speak up and give her honest opinion on where things should go sonically. That's really useful when you've lost objectivity with your work. 10/10 would recommend and can't wait to work with her again soon.

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.
