Let's ReThink Online Mixing - Because your music matters

Hi! I'm Benedikt. I love mixing songs with raw, authentic energy, lots of emotion and unique sonic textures. And I'm all about collaboration. Doing cool shit with cool people. Let's go! 🙌

Mixing/Mastering Engineer 

My team and I have helped thousands of artists (not kidding 🤯) from all over the world make their dream records. Read on, find out how and then let's have a chat about your music!

The Problem With Online Mixing - And How We Solved It

You want world class mixes - But not a "mixing factory"

We make online mixing feel personal. We truly care about you, your songs, your artistic vision and identity. About your story that got you here. And everything you put into these songs that mean so much to you.

And we would much rather make a unique, exciting and authentic record with you, than a "technically perfect" but boring one. 

Yes, we mix a lot of songs. No, we don't treat them the same. Not at all.

We're by your side. Step-by-step, start to finish

If you're a skilled producer, you can skip this part. Let's just talk about your next project and how we can make a killer record together!

If you're a self-recording artist, this is super important: You are the musician, writer AND also producer/recording engineer. That is freakin' HARD to do. So many different roles. And all need to be done right.

But we got you. Count on us as your remote co-producers who will walk you through the entire project and make sure everything sounds fantastic before you even send it over to us!

While you keep full creative control and make the record YOU want to make.

"Now how is your process different?"

We've built a support system that is unmatched in the industry. And we've built it all based on years of research and the requests of thousands of artists like you (read on to find out what this is all about). 

It means you can focus on your music and don't need to worry about anything else. We manage the project for you and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

This includes: A custom artist onboarding experience, perfect communication that ensures we understand your vision 100%, checklists, free video calls before we even work together, regular updates on your project progress, live stream mixing sessions, coaching/feedback during the recording process, no revision limit - and most importantly: A lot of care and 100% reliability at every step of the process.

We want you to enjoy the journey, not just the result. And if everyone's having fun, we'll make a better record together.

Benedikt Hain - Mixing/Mastering Engineer

Ever heard of theselfrecordingband.com?

Over the last couple of years we've built an entire online platform, mentoring programs, courses and a podcast with 250+ episodes. We've learned from thousands of artists what they really need, want and struggle with. We've helped them accomplish their goals. And we've done the work and research that helps us truly understand you.

We are among the very few educators and creators who are still actively working on music every day.

Our coaching platform and mixing studio go hand-in-hand and create an opportunity and a support system for artists that is unlike anything else.

Check out our podcast interviews first and you'll find Grammy winners, platinum producers/mixers and incredible artists who all support our mission.

We've always been musicians ourselves.

Yes, we are very experienced producers and engineers. But we're not just a bunch of nerdy "technicians". Benedikt has been in touring, signed bands since 2005. Thomas has been a professional drummer for more than a decade. We are artists at heart. It's our identity.

We deeply care about you and your music. 

There's no point in releasing songs that you're not proud of. You want to have your music taken seriously and you invest in it, because you want to be stoked about it for the rest of your life. We understand that and are aware of what's at stake.

Elke Baumgartner - Studio Manager / Project Coordinator

We'll go the extra mile.

Need to clean up your tracks? Want us to record or program incredible sounding drums based on your rough mix? Need session musicians to add that special sauce to your song? Need any other work done to enhance your tracks before we even start mixing?

We'll help you and do whatever it takes to make your record the best it can be.

We help you stand out. 

It's pretty easy to sound relatively good, but still boring. Like the majority of the 50000+ songs being released on Spotify alone, every single day. We'll help you sound exciting and unique, define your sonic identity and bring it to life. 

But it's not just the three of us at the studio... 

We have a great network and our goal is not to sell you something. It is to offer you the perfect solution for your project.

So in case we can’t provide something ourselves, or if we think we're not the best fit for your project, we probably know the right people to connect you with.

We're working with a partner network of super specialized audio pros, like mastering engineers, session musicians, recording studios of all sizes, guitar techs, drum techs, other mixing engineers, etc.. So whatever your project needs, we can build the team to get it done at the highest level.

Examples Of Our Work

(You'll find a Spotify Playlist here instead of a custom portfolio player, because it is not allowed to stream music without paying royalties and we respect that. Yes, we know, Spotify is not paying nearly enough either. But it is better than nothing and if you stream it there instead of our own player you'll help the artists at least a little bit.)

Testimonials

"Benedikt is an amazing mixing/mastering engineer and I'm so happy I got the chance to work with him. He didn't just run the tracks through templates or standard setups, he crafted a unique sound that is just massive. He took our rough tracks and was able to put together songs that are incredibly heavy but still have balance and definition."

Wesley (Riot Ready Records)

"I would definitely recommend Benedikt's mixing services. He not only did a great mix of our single but also gave valuable advice, shared his experience and opinion on things which were important for me and my band. This was our second single, and | think we were quite picky about the details. Plus, our mix was not ideally prepared, some things had to be changed down the road. Benedikt did a perfect ob on all our requests. We're definitely going to credit him not only as a mixer, but as a member of our production team!"

Dmitry (Chains Of Delight)

"Benedikt provides top quality service. In addition to his professional know-how and equipment, he excels in patience, efficiency and attention to detail. Working with him was a very positive experience: Benedikt Hain was friendly, helpful and had a keen ear for translating the energy of a song into the mix!"

E.Schmuse (Surhysa)

"We are soooooo happy with Benedikt's work! :) He has done so much justice for our song and we will definitely credit him everywhere for that! Thank you so so much, hopefully we will co-operate in the future too (on our first EP). ;) We are very happy with how structured and sufficient the whole process was, amazing job. Thank you again!"
