Recording & Mixing for Major and Indie labels, Producers, and Artists


Working at Le Sonic

“I am a firm believer that making outstanding sounding records, and that have their own unique sonic footprint comes from utilizing both analog and digital tools. The argument that you can make records working with just a computer based system is fine for those who like to argue. Analog and digital tools are what they are. But, when used together, that’s when I think you start creating sonic magic.

Recording and Mixing with Mike Rogers

Le Sonic is where decades of engineering skill meets Class-A analog equipment, the latest in digital technology, and zero creative restrictions or technical compromise. The mindset is, it’s all about the music, and do and use whatever it takes to nail it. Having years of experience working with tape and fully analog systems, gives me that perspective and knowhow when needed. But, I have always kept my ears and eyes on new technology to use to my advantage. “Working at Le Sonic is all about using a hybrid set of tools to achieve any desired sonic effect.” Have a look at our list of equipment.

“In my opinion, producing, recording, and mixing records is not a process that is based on convenience or speed. It’s about achieving the highest level of impact and fidelity, in a way that speaks to the production and identity of the artist. To achieve a projects creative goal, the process can be time consuming. I know that artists and producers need to have access to the proper amount of time so that expectations are being met. There is no clock watching here. Budgets and time are based on expectations, versus being on a per hour basis. We are an Independent artist friendly production and mixing experience.

I have spent what feels like a lifetime continually working and experimenting on all levels of audio production, and with a mindset, work ethic, and approach in how to fully realize the sonic end result of an artists creative vision.

A record is considered finished when all parties involved are 100% happy with the end result.

Feel free to contact Mike with any questions that you might have.

Mix Engineering

Mixing is one of those skills that doesn’t happen overnight. It’s working alongside some of the worlds heavy hitter engineers is where it started for me. Then after having mixed a few 100 records, amassed a world class collection of gear, could I then call myself a mix engineer.
