Luiz Fernando Costa e Silva Sound Engineer

At UNION, you book a room and we send an engineer who knows what they're doing. You don't need to have engineered before. You don't need to bring anyone. We've recorded artists on their first studio session and artists with ten releases; the engineer adjusts to where you're at and gets you sounding professional.

Three rooms (COSMO, BLK MAZE, LEGACY) and engineering staff trained on every genre, available 24 hours a day.

What you get: Tracking sessions (Neumann TLM 103, Universal Audio Apollo, Yamaha HS7 monitors); mixing and mastering ready for Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud distribution; self-directed sessions if you bring your own engineer.

Engineering tiers: Reboost Engineer $25/hr for first sessions, beginners, tracking-only, walks you through it. Advanced Engineer $30/hr for experienced artists, mixing-focused sessions, more genre-specific expertise. Engineer rate is on top of room rental rate.

Room rates: COSMO and BLK MAZE: $11/hr overnight (12am-9am), $29/hr daytime. LEGACY: $15/hr overnight, $35/hr daytime. Same rates apply for self-directed bookings.

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.
Definitely recommend to record any project here.
