An Introduction From Mix One Studios

The whole point and rationale behind our founding this studio was that we were getting darn sick and tired of working for other folks who just didn’t get it – it might be the ultimate in vanity and ego to say that we could do this all better and stay in better touch with our humanity than they while doing it, but so be it. Mix One Studios was founded as a multiple partnership for that one reason - we feel that we can do it better and keep it human at the same time. This is seemingly a simple concept, but it’s too often the exception in the real world of business. At least that was our experience . . .

At Mix One, we pride ourselves on providing a top-end, professional product in a comfortable, creative atmosphere - one where our clients can relax and be secure in the belief that they are in the best possible hands. Everything we do here we do with the client in mind – from the layout and décor of the facility to the demeanor of the people they meet and, ultimately, to the delivery of their media.

Our goal is to easily accommodate any audio client who finds us. It is our hope that Mix One can cater to your every audio need, including all types of music production, sound design, music composition, audio production and post-production, and duplication.

So, while we do have some great-sounding, state-of-the art facilities, that will not be the only thing that our clients will remember after working with us – rather, it is the ideal of flexibility, accommodation and resource of knowledge (collectively known as just part of the concept known as “service”) that will get them back in the door later on.

Mix One Makes a Lasting Impression



Just a few weeks ago I was reading Shred News and stumbled on an interview with up-and-coming indie/folk singer Will Knox. I wondered why this name looked so familiar. Then it hit me; Will Knox came into the studio summer of 2007 to record his Buckled Knees EP.

Will approached Ted after doing some overdubs with Sydney Wayser a few years back. He liked that Ted was doing some un-orthodox tracking for her CD, such as recording with no headphones and tracking her duet on a bi-directional mic as a single performance rather than overdubbing each person. Will wanted Ted to record his EP in a similar fashion.


Ted set Will up in Studio A for the initial tracking session. He didn’t use headphones and got as close to the band as he could so that they felt like they were in their rehearsal space or at a gig. Tracking was very organic and natural, with minimal overdubs. Ted led will through some great vocal takes, which no one had ever done before. The album turned out to be a success, landing Will gigs all across the US and Europe. Shred News called his set a “sublime blend of intriguing new music, and relaxing atmosphere to combine for one of the most enjoyably unexpected pre-show acts I’ve ever seen.” Good job Will! We knew you had it in you.
