COURSES

What we offer

We offer world-class recording, mixing, and production services—plus mix consultations and hands-on courses that help artists and engineers elevate their sound.

Basic Mix Consult

Our Basic Mix Consultation gives artists and producers direct, personalized feedback on their mixes from veteran music producer and engineer Chris Steinmetz. During this one-on-one Zoom session, Chris listens to your track in detail, evaluates balance, tone, clarity, and dynamics, and provides actionable guidance to help your mix reach a professional, release-ready standard. Whether you’re fine-tuning your home mix or preparing for mastering, this consultation helps you identify what’s working, what can improve, and how to achieve the sound you’re after.

Advanced Mix Consult

Our Advanced Mix Consultation takes your project to the next level with an in-depth technical and creative analysis from Chris Steinmetz. In this extended session, Chris provides a full breakdown of your mix—including frequency balance, stereo imaging, dynamic control, and overall tonal character—along with tailored recommendations for plugins, processing chains, and mix techniques. You’ll receive a detailed action plan, optional mix revision feedback, and insight into how to bring your track up to industry-standard quality for streaming and release.

Chris Mixing & Mastering Enhancement

For artists ready to take their music to a professional level, this service gives you the full expertise of Chris Steinmetz—from detailed mix refinement to final mastering polish. Chris personally mixes your track using industry-standard gear and techniques to achieve balance, depth, and clarity that translate across every playback system. Once the mix is perfected, he masters the song to ensure competitive loudness, tonal cohesion, and radio-ready impact. The result is a finished record that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with today’s top releases.

Vocal Production Consult

A focused session on crafting professional, emotionally powerful vocals. Chris analyzes your vocal recordings for tone, performance, pitch, layering, and effects—offering guidance on mic choice, vocal comping, tuning, and mix integration. Perfect for artists and producers looking to achieve radio-quality vocal presence.

Commercial Vocal Production (Full Service)

This hands-on production service gives artists access to Chris’s expertise in producing, engineering, and mixing vocals at a commercial level. From tracking through final mix, Chris helps shape every aspect of your vocal sound—delivering the polish, clarity, and dynamics that define chart-ready records.

Mastering Consult

For artists ready to release their music, our Mastering Consultation provides expert guidance on achieving the final polish your tracks deserve. In this one-on-one session, Chris Steinmetz reviews your mastered (or pre-mastered) track for tonal balance, loudness, clarity, and streaming platform optimization. You’ll receive professional feedback on your EQ, limiting, and overall dynamics—plus clear, actionable steps to ensure your music translates consistently across every playback system and platform.

Frequetly Asked Question

What happens during a Mix Consultation with Chris Steinmetz?

During your session, Chris will personally review your mix, offer detailed technical and creative feedback, and demonstrate how to elevate it to a professional standard. You’ll get actionable advice tailored to your project—covering balance, EQ, compression, and overall mix clarity. The Basic Mix Consult focuses on analysis and guidance, while the Advanced Consult can include real-time adjustments and deeper mastering insights.

Can I upgrade or apply my consultation fee toward a full mix or master by Chris?

Yes! If you decide you’d like Chris to mix or master your track after your consult, your consultation fee can be applied toward that service. This lets you move seamlessly from feedback to a finished, release-ready record without losing your initial investment.

What’s the difference between the Vocal Production Course and Commercial Vocal Production Service?

The Basic Vocal Production Course is a guided learning experience designed to teach artists and engineers how to record, comp, tune, and mix professional vocals on their own.
The Commercial Vocal Production Service is a done-for-you experience—Chris and the Stonecutter team handle every aspect of the vocal chain: coaching, recording, tuning, layering, and mix integration to meet radio and label standards.
