Mixing, recording, live.

Records, sessions, the stage and live broadcast, from Los Angeles.

The work

Twenty years
behind the console.

Brandon Duncan is an independent recording and mixing engineer based in Los Angeles. His work spans records and film, front of house on tour, and audio for live broadcast, with artists and productions ranging from John Fogerty and Chris Botti to SpaceX.

Alongside his independent work, he serves as chief engineer at Clearmountain’s Berkeley Street Studios in Santa Monica, home of the studio’s Neve 8068, a console he continues to maintain and restore while adding to its storied history with every artist he records there.
