As an independent songwriter, artist, or producer, you pour your heart and soul into your music. You’ve spent countless hours perfecting your craft, and now it’s time to take your tracks to the next level. That’s where I come in. I’m Christian Dorn, owner and mixing engineer at Drum Arsenal Productions, and I’m here to help you achieve the polished, professional sound that your music deserves.
Why Mixing Matters to Me
In today’s music industry, a great mix isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. Your mix is what makes your music stand out in a sea of releases. It’s the difference between a track that captures attention and one that fades into the background. That’s why I’m passionate about mixing. I believe that every song has the potential to be extraordinary, and it’s my job to bring that potential to life.

I take the time to understand the unique characteristics of each genre and tailor my approach to suit the style and vibe of your music.

I approach each mix with meticulous attention, ensuring that every sound is balanced, dynamic, and contributes to the overall impact of your track. From file organization, to editing, to final polish, my goal is to enhance what’s already great about your music while maintaining the integrity of your original vision.
