About

I'm Dylan Castaldi, an audio engineer based in Brooklyn. Most of my work is dialog editing for podcasts, audiobooks and film, and vocal mixing, alongside mixing albums and handling complete sound for films.

I trained at Berklee as a drummer and sound designer. Both still shape how I hear a mix, for groove, feel and space. They also inform the audio tools I build and use, some of which I share on this site.

I spent years as an engineer in New York facilities, with credits at Dubway and Gramercy Post, working on music, film, podcasts and commercial audio for clients like Toyota, Nickelodeon, NPR and Audible. In the last two years I've produced and mixed two albums for Jeff Ourvan, the latest being Long Drive Home. I now work from my own treated mixing room.
