Working with Maik and punchline studio has really been a game-changer for our sound. The first time we collaborated, it was just for vocal editing on one track. It was so easy to work with him that we asked him to mix the entire song. Since then he has mixed two full EPs for us, five tracks each. Blending the chaotic side of our rock sound with the precision of our hip-hop side. He gets the vibe of Candi The Gurl instantly and always brings something extra to the table.

Wow, my first album! Maik worked hard to make it his producer's project, and what can I say? He gave it his own style and my music finally reached another level! From simple songwriting to a finished and published country/folk concept album in just 3 months!

Impressive sound quality from a mediocre home studio recording. Glad I decided to work with him and will defintile send him more stuff in the future!

Interview with Maik Styrnol

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I'm just dude mixing your songs. I mean, I am that, but for some time I become your newest band member who wants to create something special with you.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: From Jazz Guitarist to Film Composer to Radio Composer to Film Composer to Audio Engineer to Film Producer to Film and Audio Producer to Mixing Engineer and Music Video Producer.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I produce a concert film festival: https:// www.welive-festival.com
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. But Analog is so much more fun.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'll listen to you, not just to your music!
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Getting to know so many great artists and creating something with them.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Tell me everything that you have on your mind! Things that you want, things that you definitely don't want! I'm happy to give a lot of ideas, but it all starts with you!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My coffee machine and 4 guitars. You can never have enough guitars!
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Honest. Once I have the feeling for the artist and the music I double down on it and don't put a lot of gloss over everything.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Singer-Songwriter, Rock, Folk, Blues, Funk
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a small (48m2) project studio for my own producing and composing. In there I have a concert grand, some guitars, lots of microphones and my mixing desk with some outboard gear. I mix with Genelec speakers because I work quite often with broadcasting and in Germany they are basically the standard in most radio and TV stations. My Setup: iMac, ProTools, SSL 500-Series UltraViolet EQ, Trident Audio 80B-500 EQ, SSL 500-Series 611 DYN, Warm Audio WA76, Warm Audio EQP-WA, dbx 266xs, IGS Audio S-Type 500 VU My Mics: Sennheiser, Oktava, Neumann, Røde, Avantone... and the most comfy couch in the business!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I Mix and Master Live Recordings, which also includes Editing, Tuning and Re-Amping quite often.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Since I work with a lot of live recordings I usually have a really good idea of how the band wants to sound and the energy they transport. So I just double down on that and take their energy to a new level.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Listening. Not only to music, but also to the vision of the other people involved.
