Mixing
You’ve poured your heart, time, and talent into your music. Mixing is the crucial bridge that connects your creative vision to your audience. It’s not just about turning knobs, it’s about finding the perfect balance, depth, and energy in your track.
Mastering
Mastering is the bridge between your studio and the rest of the world. It is the final, critical polish that transforms a great mix into a commercial-grade release. We ensure your tracks stand tall next to your favorite artists on Spotify, Apple Music, and the radio.
Live Video Recording
Creating a music video doesn’t always need to involve weeks of storyboarding and lip-syncing. A live performance video is the most efficient way to generate high-quality content that proves your musicianship.

Songwriter Demos
Our Songwriter Demo Days are a premium, hyper-efficient recording service modeled after the renowned “live-off-the-floor” methodology perfected in Nashville’s top studios, such as Blackbird. This process is designed for songwriters who require radio-ready masters in a fraction of the time typically needed for multi-day productions.
What It Is
This is an intensive, single-day session where efficiency meets world-class musicianship. We bring together a dedicated team of 4-6 top-tier session musicians—experts in quickly interpreting a songwriter’s vision—along with a professional engineer. The entire core band records the arrangement of 4 to 6 songs in rapid succession, with the goal of capturing the instrumental foundation in full, emotionally charged takes.
The Professional Advantage
Unparalleled Speed and Efficiency: The session musicians arrive prepared to work at an elite pace, often tracking a full song (bass, drums, guitars, keys) in under an hour. This rapid workflow drastically reduces studio time and cost.
Organic Sound Quality: By recording the core ensemble live in the room, we capture the organic bleed and spontaneous interaction that gives the recording a dynamic, cohesive, and authentic “band” sound.
Radio-Ready Foundation: Utilizing our superior acoustics and premium gear, the instrumental tracks sound remarkably full and polished immediately. These recordings are not mere sketches; they are fully realized foundations engineered to be mixed and ready for commercial release with minimal post-production.
This service is ideal for songwriters seeking to secure publishing deals, pitch to artists, or quickly build a high-quality catalog that sounds indistinguishable from major-label releases.

Sessionwire
I had a great experience working with Soren and all the amazing musicians at Studio Downe Under! We did a one hour remote session-wire session with me being at my apartment in Sweden working live with the band in Canada. The group was very professional and after a brief, efficient discussion and several takes we managed to get a great recording of one of my songs. The process was incredibly smooth and fun, I would absolutely do again!
The Writers' Room
We have room dedicated to writing. We have coffee, and comfy chairs and space to be creative. If you are looking to collaborate with other artists this is the perfect space. You need to bring your own instruments and if you want, bring a laptop and interface and you connect to the speakers and mixer there, to record your demos. This is a complimentary space we offer to our fellow writers.
