Hi, my name is Michael Venia and I am a professional mastering engineer located in San Luis Obispo, CA. My experience includes working with notable artists like Lil B and MAKUTA, a 4-member pop-rock group from Brooklyn, New York, signed with Timbaland’s Anthem-Bluestone venture. Additionally, I have over 5000 positive 5-star reviews on Fiverr, reflecting my commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

I’ve been in the music industry since 2004 and specialize in providing personalized, human mastering services tailored to the unique needs of each client. As a mastering engineer, I pride myself on my excellent communication skills and customer service. I believe that mastering is a collaborative process and I am always open to working closely with my clients to ensure they achieve the sound they are looking for. Whether you are an independent artist, a record label, or a music producer, I am here to help you take your music to the next level.

I use a combination of analog and digital tools to enhance and optimize the sound of your mixes, including outboard gear, plug-ins, and software. With a deep understanding of the technical aspects of mastering, such as EQ, compression, and loudness normalization, I use these skills to bring out the best in your music.

I am also a musician and a music lover, bringing that passion and perspective to every project I work on. As the singer and songwriter for my band, Carbon City Lights, I understand that music is more than just sounds and frequencies – it’s a form of self-expression and a way to connect with others. That’s why I started my engineering career, to provide high-quality mastering that respects the artistry behind every track.

If you are looking for a mastering engineer who can provide personalized, human mastering with excellent communication, I would love to work with you. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
