Mixing Engineer | Producer | Analog + Digital Workflow | SoundStudio412 for $400

Garrett N. Derhofer is a professional producer, recording engineer, mixing engineer, and musician with over 25 years of experience helping artists bring their music to life.
He is the founder of SoundStudio412 — a world-class studio in Western North Carolina designed by renowned acoustician Steve Durr and featured in Mix Magazine’s Class of 2025.

Garrett’s approach is simple: help serious artists #SoundYourBest.
As a lifelong musician (piano, drums, bass, guitar, synth, percussion), Garrett brings both a musician’s intuition and an engineer’s precision to every mix.
His work is trusted by artists across genres — Rock, Metal, Indie, Alternative, Acoustic Singer-Songwriter, Rap, and Americana.

SoundStudio412 is built around a flexible workflow — tracking through a world-class analog front end (Calrec S2 console and boutique outboard), with most mixes delivered through a modern in-the-box process for precision and recall. For clients seeking a hybrid or fully analog mix path, those options are also available.
From punchy drums to lush vocals and full, dynamic masters, Garrett’s mixes are designed to connect emotionally and stand up sonically.

For remote clients, Garrett offers a clear, professional process:
Organized file prep and delivery guide
Two to three mix revisions included
Optional real-time video session for collaborative mix tweaks
Mix includes: Full multi-track mix, two to three mix revisions included, final stereo mix provided. Stems available upon request.

SoundStudio412 is not a mix factory — it is a space where artists are respected, supported, and heard.
