Multimedia Production.
Mixed by humans.

Audio and video production for artists, brands, and operators. Mixing, mastering, video, podcast, vocal tuning, session musicianship — done by working producers, not plugins. Three decades of records, broadcast, and live show work.

Overview

What we do.

Mixmastered Studios is the Mixmastered group's production channel — a Chicago-area multimedia studio that has been mixing records, cutting video, and producing audio for broadcast and live since 1996.

We run mixing and mastering for releases (singles, EPs, albums) on real monitors in a treated room with our own acoustic panels. We run vocal tuning, comping, and editing for vocalists who want a finish that sounds like a person, not a preset. We run session musicianship — guitar, bass, keys, drums — when a track needs a real player, not a sample pack.

We run video production for music videos, brand spots, podcast video, social cuts, and event recap reels. We run podcast production end-to-end: capture, edit, post, sound design, distribution. We've cut for major-label artists, independent producers, broadcast clients, and small businesses that needed something better than what their phone records.

What you don't get: a pricing menu engineered to upsell, a kitchen-sink "creative agency" pitch, or a project manager who's never been in a session. What you do get: a producer on the phone who's been doing this since 1996, real ears on the work, and a fixed scope you understand before any money moves.

How we work

Differentiators.

01

30+ Years In The Chair

Studio opened in 1996. Same operator, same standards. Records, broadcast, live, and licensing work since.

02

Treated Rooms, Real Monitors

Mixed in a room treated with our own Acoustic Sound Panels. Mastering decisions made on monitors that translate.

03

Players, Not Presets

Live session musicianship when a track needs an actual player. Guitar, bass, keys, drums — booked, tracked, edited.

04

Audio + Video Together

One operator, one schedule, one budget. Music videos, podcast video, and event recap cut where they're scored.

05

Releases That Move

Mastered for streaming loudness, vinyl pre-mastering when the project requires it, broadcast prep for sync placements.

06

Producer Owns The Project

You talk to the person mixing the record. Not a coordinator, not a portal. Direct line, fixed scope, real ears.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does Mixmastered Studios actually do?

Audio production: mixing, mastering, vocal tuning, session musicianship (guitar, bass, keys, drums), full music production from demo to release. Video production: music videos, brand spots, podcast video, social cuts, event recap. Podcast production end-to-end including capture, edit, post, and distribution prep.

Where is Mixmastered Studios located?

Chicago, Illinois. We've been operating in the Chicago area since 1996. Sessions are in-person or remote — we accept files for mix and master work from anywhere.

How much does mixing or mastering cost?

Mixing typically starts at $149 per song; mastering starts at $99 per song. Production projects, video, and full-package work are quoted per scope. We give you a fixed price before any money moves — no creep, no surprise revisions, no hourly meter.

Do you work with independent artists or just established acts?

Both. Indie artists send us tracks for mix-and-master regularly. We've also worked with major-label talent, broadcast clients, and event productions. The standard doesn't change with the budget.

Can you also produce video, or just audio?

Both. We're a multimedia production studio — audio and video on one bench. Music videos, brand video, podcast video, social cuts, and event recaps. Audio and video projects on the same operator means tighter sync and less coordination overhead.

Do you have a real recording room or is this all in-the-box mixing?

Real treated room. Mixed on monitors in a space treated with our own Acoustic Sound Panels (also a Mixmastered channel). For tracking, we book the right space for the job — full live room when the project needs it, vocal booth when it doesn't.

How do I get a quote?
