We are a full-service, professional recording, mixing, and mastering studio.
Located just north of Toronto, Mix11 is Barrie, Ontario’s premier studio. Founded in 2017, we are a family-owned business, operated by Daryl and Kelly Sarnat.
Since opening our doors, Mix11 has produced quality work for many local indie bands, hip-hop artists, singer-songwriters and major motion picture voiceover projects.

Our Philosophy
It's all about the music. Whatever it takes to get that perfect sound.
We are passionate about music and honing our craft, and we love helping our clients tell their stories. As artists ourselves, we “play” our studio as if it were an instrument, ebbing and flowing with your music while we execute your vision. We want to give you the best possible product and experience. We want you to have high expectations, and we’ll aim to surpass them every time.
