Big news, an evening with Emily Lubitz, and a break on pricing

Mix Artist Studio Newsletter July 2026

Dear Artists and Music Creators,


July is officially here, and it’s already turning out to be a massive month of changes, incredible music, and community spirit around the studio.

First things first: if you’ve tried to visit our old digital home recently, you might have noticed things look a little different. We have officially moved!

mixartist.com.au is now: mixartist.studio

I completely rebuilt the site from the ground up to make it a cleaner, high-value hub for independent musicians. Go check out the new look and explore the fresh layout when you get a moment.

From Studio to Stream with Emily Lubitz

A massive highlight of the last few weeks was the MusicNSW New Wave event: From Studio to Stream. Getting to sit down and talk shop with the brilliant Emily Lubitz was an absolute dream. We dove deep into Emily's recording and publishing journey of taking her music from an intimate studio tracking session all the way to a ARIA #1 album.

If you want to check out some incredible photos from the night and see the energy in the room, head over to the MusicNSW Facebook Page.

I also wanted to immortalise that session and look closer at the art of recording. I’ve just published a brand-new article diving into the production magic of Emily's critically acclaimed album.

You can read the full breakdown here: Emily Lubitz - Two Black Horses.

Holding the Line on Studio Prices

Normally, July is the month of the "dreaded annual adjustment." It’s the time when businesses crunch the numbers and adjust their rates to match last year’s inflation.

And let’s be honest - everything out there is getting ridiculous. Between soaring fuel prices at the pump and endless economic headaches, independent musicians are getting hit from every angle. It’s harder than ever to fund a recording project right now.

So, I’ve made a decision:

Mix Artist Studio will not be raising prices this month.

I want to give our local musos a well-deserved break. The studio rates are staying exactly where they are because I believe the world needs great music right now more than ever, and a tight budget shouldn't stand in the way of your art.

If you’ve been sitting on a project, waiting for the right time to book a tracking or mixing session, this is your sign.

Reach out and let's chat about your next release.

Warm Regards,

Jan 'Yarn' Muths
