Everyone is listening to spatial audio these days. If you want your music SEEN and HEARD on top streaming sites you NEED a Dolby Atmos Mix. Apple Music is giving artist's more visibility with Spatial Audio.

You NEED to release your music in DOLBY ATMOS!

Let me help you...

Here's how it works:

1. Send me your Multi-track session or Stems
2. Stereo Mix for reference
3. I will create the Dolby Atmos Spatial Mix files ready for release!

You can check your spatial mixes on either AirPod Pros, Max or any Sound Bar device with Dolby Atmos features.

Let's work together!

    I was looking for a very specific sound and mix and Brent knocked it out of the park! Best communication I've ever had with a producer. Song came out better than expected. I will work with and refer him every chance I get! Top Pro!

    Brent was great to work with. Our track required the addition of some unique sounds and some additional instrumentation. He was able to add these in and nailed the feeling we were trying to achieve. The final mix has a powerful sound I wasn't sure we would be able to get out of the existing audio. I hope to work with Brent again in the future.

    I had a wonderful experience working with Brent on my first released song!!! Brent remixed my song and I just loved it!!!! Brent did an excellent job communicating with me throughout the process and was always quick to respond to me. Brent was able to provide a very fast turnaround! I am more than pleased with the mix. Can't wait to work with Brent again!!!

    Recently hired Brent to do some editing of a live acoustic instrumental album. Brent definitely delivered big time and didn't waste any time either! Started work promptly, finished long before my deadline, and worked within my budget. Highly recommended if you're looking for a reliable pro with the ears to make you 'sound better'! (pun intended)

    Pleasure working together;
    Many thanks

    Just worked with Brent on our first project of many to come. It was such a great experience and he did an awesome job. I can't imagine how many thousands of hours he has critically listening to music and it shows in his final product.

    Brent is the consummate pro, period. I've worked with him in many different situations for over 25 years now, and can't say enough about his passion for making great music. HIGHLY recommended.

    I have worked with Brent for years now. He is such a great resource for so many things: production ideas, getting a great sound, playing great guitar tracks, bass tracking, very strong lead and background vocal production and and then of course getting a great mix. He has it all and has been so helpful to us throughout our project. Great attitude to serve and very fast and efficient as well! I highly recommend Brent!
