I had a great experience at MIX recording studio, and I have already booked another session! Luiz was extremely knowledgeable and efficient with mixing and mastering my song. I have had issues in the past with the quality of mixing my vocals, but Luiz did a fantastic job while providing suggestions to elevate my song. Thank you Luiz and MIX Recording studio!

Working with LUIZ you would think we have worked together for many many years .... The way we saw eye to eye on 2 back to back projects was amazing. Believe it or not. We haven't known each other that long ..so when you get that vibe that feel of air and tone you feed off that energy you locate that sibilance and you put things. Let's Work!!

I'd like to thank Mix Recording Studio for an amazing service because finding a good recording studio could be a difficult process. There are so many of them in Los Angeles.
The engineer is amazing and he has a great ear for a bunch of different sounds. Studio is clean, looks like brand new.
OMG...the lighting...I love it!
Also prices are good to compare to the other recording studios.
