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 true hybrid workflow — combining the warmth and depth of an analog Calrec S2 console and carefully selected outboard gear with the clarity and flexibility of modern digital tools.
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
SoundStudio412 is not a mix factory — it is a space (virtual or remote) where artists are respected, supported, and heard.
