What We do

Production

Music production is where your ideas take shape. At North Lair Studio, we work with you to craft songs from the ground up — whether that means building arrangements, layering instruments, programming drums, or refining song structures. Together, we’ll develop your sound and make sure every element supports the vision of your track. The goal is to capture the energy and emotion of your music while giving it a polished, professional foundation. From demo to fully realized production, your creativity drives the process.

Reamping

Reamping gives your guitar and bass tracks the power and tone they deserve. Instead of being locked into one sound, we take your clean DI recordings and run them through real amps, cabinets, and pedals to achieve the perfect tone for your mix. This process lets us experiment with different textures without needing to re-record performances. Whether you want crushing metal riffs, warm vintage crunch, or smooth clean tones, reamping adds depth and character to your tracks. The result: professional, mix-ready guitar and bass sounds that fit perfectly in your song.

Mixing

Mixing is where your music comes alive. We balance every element of your track — from drums and bass to vocals and effects — to ensure clarity, punch, and emotion. Using both digital precision and analog warmth, we enhance the energy of your performance while maintaining its authenticity. The goal is not just to make your music sound polished, but to make it feel impactful and engaging across all listening systems. With attention to detail, your mix will be powerful, dynamic, and release-ready.

Mastering

Mastering is the final step that prepares your music for the world. We take your finished mix and refine it to achieve consistency, loudness, and tonal balance across all playback systems — from headphones to car stereos to streaming platforms. This step ensures your music stands shoulder-to-shoulder with professional releases while preserving its unique vibe. Mastering also helps create a cohesive sound if you’re releasing an EP or album. The result is a polished track that’s ready to be heard anywhere, by anyone.
