Kutan Katas — Head Engineer, Katas Sound
Kutan Katas
Owner · Head Engineer

Kutan works with artists and producers across indie pop, R&B, and hip-hop — shaping tone, space, and movement so every record feels intentional, balanced, and alive.

He has mixed on projects produced by Kenny Loggins and alongside artists including Charlie Burg, Hunter Hawkins, and Spicy Lychees. Mixing is his primary craft, but the studio is built to handle the full process — from tracking through mastering.

The space

The Studio

A beautifully designed recording and mixing facility in Santa Barbara, CA — built for the work and the people doing it.

The control room is tuned for critical listening with a warm, accurate acoustic environment. The live booth is fully isolated for tracking vocals, instruments, voiceover, and audiobooks.

We do mixing and mastering here, track full sessions, record narration for audiobooks and podcasts, and design sound for film and media. If it involves audio at a serious level, this is where it happens.
