Mixing Engineer in Los AngelesWhere every track gets the mix it deserves
MIX Recording Studio is a full-service mixing studio in Los Angeles, built for artists and producers who want a polished, release-ready sound. Our mixing engineers work in acoustically treated rooms with professional monitoring chains, analog-modeled processing, and years of credits across hip hop, R&B, pop, rock, and Latin genres. Whether you recorded here or tracked somewhere else, we handle your mix from stem import to final print.
We operate 24/7 at 539 S Rampart Blvd in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, minutes from Koreatown, Downtown LA, and Hollywood. The building has on-site parking and sessions can start the same day you book.
What a mixing session looks like
Your stems come in
You send us your stems or bring them to the session. Our mixing engineers load everything into Avid Pro Tools (latest version), organize the session, and start building the mix with you in the room or over a live stream.
The first pass, with you in the room
Most clients sit in during the first pass so they can give real-time feedback on vocal levels, low-end balance, spatial effects, and overall tone.
Through the full frequency spectrum
The engineer works through cleaning up bleed, setting gain staging, and applying EQ, compression, saturation, and time-based effects, using UAD Powered Plug-Ins alongside the Universal Audio Apollo 8 and Apollo x8 Thunderbolt interfaces for console-grade processing at every stage.
Printed on calibrated monitoring
Final mixes print through calibrated Yamaha NS10 and Dynaudio LYD 8 monitors with a KRK 10S Powered Subwoofer for low-end reference.
Revisions, from where you left off
Revisions are part of the process. If you want a second pass the next day or need specific adjustments for a label submission, we keep your session on file and pick up exactly where you left off.
Gear and monitoring chain
Every mixing room at MIX is built around gear that delivers consistent, translatable results across playback systems. The signal chain starts with Universal Audio Apollo 8 and Apollo x8 Thunderbolt interfaces and runs through the Universal Audio 710 Twin Preamp for additional analog character when tracking or re-amping during the mix.
Monitoring is handled by Yamaha NS10s, the industry benchmark for midrange translation, Dynaudio LYD 8s for extended frequency response, and a KRK 10S Powered Subwoofer for accurate low-end decisions. Microphones on hand for overdubs and vocal touch-ups include the Neumann U87, Neumann TLM103, AKG C 414 XLS/ST matched pair, and Shure SM57. For a complete breakdown of what is in each room, see our gear list.
Stereo, Atmos, or remote
Dolby Atmos mixing
MIX is one of the few independent studios in Los Angeles equipped for Dolby Atmos mixing. Our 7.1.4 speaker configuration places instruments, vocals, and effects in three-dimensional space, meeting the delivery specs for Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, and Netflix. Atmos mixes are $399 per song, and the Atmos plus stereo bundle is $599 per song. Sessions are handled by an engineer with Atmos-certified delivery experience. Full details are on our Dolby Atmos page.
Remote and online mixing
Not in Los Angeles? We mix remotely for clients across the US and internationally. Upload your stems through our secure portal at online.mixrecordingstudio.com, include your reference tracks and notes, and our engineers deliver a polished mix with up to two rounds of revisions included. Same engineers, same gear, same room. The only difference is you are not sitting in the chair next to us.
Mixing into mastering
If your project needs both stages handled in the same facility, the mix can go straight into mastering without exporting to another studio, another engineer, and another set of monitors.
