Welcome to Drum Arsenal Productions — a professional mixing studio based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and trusted by artists throughout Texas and across the U.S. Whether you're a Texas Country band, an Americana songwriter, or crafting tracks in rock, pop, or alt-country genres, I offer remote mixing that delivers clarity, depth, and energy to your music.

Every mix is handcrafted — no stock formulas, no generic sound. Just a professional, collaborative process that helps your song feel finished, competitive, and true to your vision.

Why Work With a Dallas-Based Mixing Engineer

My name is Christian Dorn and I work closely with artists to get their music radio-ready. As a Dallas-based mixing engineer, I understand the unique character of Texas music — from Red Dirt grit, to Americana warmth, to modern Nashville-polished pop country - This isn’t just about faders and plugins, it’s about capturing the energy of your performance and respecting the genre you live in.

Having worked with Texas mainstays like Eleven Hundred Springs, The Hattons, Matt Hillyer, Bart Crow, Charla Corn, and more, I bring a deep understanding of what makes Texas music hit hard — and how to make it sound the way it should on every platform.

And even if you're not local to Dallas, you’ll still get the same personalized, hands-on experience through remote collaboration that feels as close as being in the room.

Gear That Makes a Difference

My hybrid mixing setup combines world-class analog gear with the precision of digital tools to deliver mixes that are warm, punchy, and wide.

Here’s a glimpse of what I use day in and day out:

• Neve and API preamps & EQs for classic analog tone

• SSL-style and opto compression for vocal control and glue

• Analog summing for wider, more dimensional mixes

• Master-grade converters for clarity and punch

• Neumann KH310 monitors in a treated room for detailed accuracy

This isn't just about having high-end gear — it’s about knowing how to use it to bring out the best in your music.
