Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Mixnaster has been an audio recording service (legally in the state) for three years. We are coming up on our third year anniversary this July and will unveil something special for all future clients. Employees in the business have had training for over 20 years in music and audio.
What is your primary product or service?
Mixnaster specializes in audio for small business. We work with small and large companies recording voiceovers, advertisements, documentaries, and music.
We also offer services for bands and musicians.
What makes us different is that we charge less than other studios in the city and don't sacrifice on quality.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As company founder, music is part of my family. I grew up playing the drums, moved onto guitar then onto music recording in high school.
At an early age I knew exactly what I wanted to do and have went to the best lengths possible to develop my craft,
Mixnaster is far from a normal "home studio" we are hear to offer custom service to local businesses and bands (and would LOVE to work with out of state businesses as well.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Other music studios are outright expensive! The ones that are good cost a lot and the ones that are cheap are usually cheap for a reason. We are different. We don't have hidden fees, when you choose Mixnaster you choose a winning formula.
We can take your pre-recorded sound and make it BETTER.
"It's all about the sound at Mixnaster"
Great equipment, great customer service, and past experience; A GREAT RECORDING WILL MAKE YOUR PRODUCT SELL BETTER ON THE RADIO OR ON TV
LET US HELP YOU GET THERE...
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one location currently.
Yes, of course we hope to have a larger location someday. For now we are saving money and helping our clientele by investing in quality equipment rather than real estate.
That said Mixnaster does offer a safe area to work out of. We are located in the Johnson County Metro area, just a few minutes from Lawrence, KS.
Provide detailed directions to your location
We are off all major highways. I-35 or I-69 to Antioch Rd. Not too bad. We prefer talking to our clients before we give our exact location away for security purposes, nothing personal.
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept PayPal (which includes credit cards, "bill me later" TM for all clients (and other PayPal features), The PayPal name is used with permission as we have done direct business with them. Cash and check are fine also.
Which areas do you service?
We service all of the Kansas City metro area. We also service the greater United States and musicians worldwide in regards to editing, mixing and mastering. Files can be sent or given in person for editing or transfered online,
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
The company is owned by one individual, with an LLC under a different name (as to not confuse the company with the business). One studio manager/head engineer runs daily operations and many studio employees/paid interns are on call for recording sessions. Studio musicians can also be called in if needed for artists needing certain instruments recorded. We have a vast network of authors, narrators, voiceover artists, videographers, and more.
What are your hours of operation?
The studio is very flexible with hours. We run recording sessions on YOUR time.
Simply said we don't rush people in and out. Recording can take time. We understand this.
*Business hours are from 10am to 10pm and that is usually the best time to contact us by email. Once we receive your email we can set up an in person studio tour or we can send you over a list that has an equipment list rundown to see if we have what you need in regards to recording. Studio tours are free.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
Mixnaster loves when our clients like what we do. If they say "that sounds good, or nice job" (we are satisfied).
We didn't start the business on ego, we started Mixnaster because "music is the universal language" (cliche' or not)
*We aim for that ultimate bar, not for the band to just say that sounds good while they are recording, but when the final master is pressed, we want our clients to say "that's the way I wanted my song to sound."
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
My favorite quote is from Quincy Jones, above his studio door he once had a sign that said "keep an open mind and check your egos at the door". The recording studio is a place to be creative and bring your talents to the next level. Studios like Mixnaster exist to give you a different perspective on your audio. We are hired to make you sound better.
