Experience

Paul Svenson is the owner of SvenMix. He first stepped into a studio in 1971 and has been recording professionally since then. For decades he has produced many custom album projects for independent artists, church musical groups, choirs, spoken word, and others.
​
In addition to expertise with studio equipment and processes, Paul is a multi-instrument musician and choral director and can play on your project as well as create instrumental and vocal arrangements. Sing your songs and let Paul help take them to the next level.
Tracking & Mixing

Create and capture your next song with experienced professionals and the latest recording technologies at SvenMix San Diego. In addition to amazing equipment and instruments, you'll have a project manager/engineer who actually cares about your music.
​
Many people have recording technology at their fingertips and are able to record most or all of their project on their own. But when it comes to mixing, your music can greatly benefit from years of experience, great, properly calibrated monitors, and a massive array of plugins running on an extremely powerful computer.
Together we’ll collaborate throughout the entire production process to develop a final recording you are proud of and which your fans will enjoy.

Gear and Instruments
Our studio is in a separate building on my property and has been professionally treated and optimized for vocals and acoustic instruments. Our capacity is intimate - one to three artists, acoustic or electric instruments, keyboards, vocals etc.
We also have other rooms for chorus vocals, amps, etc.
Getting your music into our system is a task we take very seriously which is why
(besides the great mics) we have outstanding preamps feeding two aggregated, properly clocked top-shelf audio interfaces.
