Justin Colletti

Justin Colletti has spent more than a decade turning other people's recordings into finished, polished records, working out of Joe Lambert Mastering in New York while also steering SonicScoop as its writer, editor, and podcast host. He is an RIAA Platinum-certified mastering engineer whose recent work spans a wide range, from the cast recording of Goosebumps The Musical to Joshua Lee Turner's home-recorded Public Life and the indie folk duo The Bygones. Alongside his studio work, he built Mixing Breakthroughs and Mastering Demystified, two full courses distilled from years of coaching other engineers and interviewing top producers on the SonicScoop podcast. Colleagues in the field have called him one of the more prolific writers and commentators in pro audio, and his bylines have appeared in Tape Op Magazine and The Deli Magazine, among others. A mastering desk is where the craft happens for him, but it is his ear for knowing when to leave a mix alone and when to push it that keeps artists coming back.
