AUDIO MIXING IN LOS ANGELES FOR BANDS, JAZZ AND INDIE ARTISTS
If you’ve ever felt like your song is almost there, a fresh set of ears can be the difference between a good recording and a release-ready record. Working with a dedicated Los Angeles Mixing Engineer brings perspective, objectivity, and the technical focus that’s hard to maintain when you’ve lived with the same takes for weeks. As artists and bands, you’re emotionally close to the performance—an external mixer can make faster, bolder decisions that serve the song, not the fatigue.
BEFORE
This was a 9 mic set up for a piano trio, recorded live:
​
-
2 SM57s for the piano
-
1 AT5050 for the Bass
-
Sm57 for Snare
-
Audix A series for Kick/Toms
-
Rode NTK for Drum Overheads
-
2 AKG C214s for Room
​
This live mix has basic eq and levels, but it's muddy and the separation could be better, drums sound very far away because of the overhead + room.
​
The client still wanted a live feel, but with more control
​
AFTER
Client sent a reference mix that was severely panned, I wouldn't normally go this extreme!
​
I was able to isolate the snare and remove some reverb giving it a bit more presence. I actually didn't use the drum overhead at all, the rooms were plenty 'washy' enough.
​
The piano is representative of what the piano in the room sounded like, a little honky for my tastes, but perfectly pitched.
​
I wish they'd taken a DI from the Upright Bass, would've been nice to have some twang to play with, but the AT5050 had picked up so much room I had to EQ it right down.
Why get an Alternate Remix for Your Recording?
A new mix can also unlock the value in older sessions. Maybe your first release was self-mixed, the low end never translated, or the vocals never sat right. Our audio mixing services are built to revisit those tracks with modern tools and a clear plan—tightening dynamics, improving clarity, enhancing impact, and translating across headphones, cars, clubs, and streaming.

At a professional mixing studio Los Angeles artists trust, the mixing process is more than balancing faders. Done well, it shapes emotion and energy: vocals feel present without being harsh, drums hit with intention, guitars and synths occupy their own space, and the chorus lifts the way you imagined when you wrote it. The result is dimension, punch, and cohesion—so your music feels confident next to the records you love.
