The difference between a track that works and one that holds.
Mixing shapes the balance and relationship between every element in a track. Mastering prepares the final output so it translates cleanly across platforms, formats, and listening environments.
Together, they turn a working session into something finished—controlled, cohesive, and ready for release.
At RIOT, mixing and mastering are treated as precision stages. The focus is not just how it sounds in the studio, but how it holds up everywhere else.
This is where sound becomes reliable.
Everything we do is designed to improve clarity, balance, and consistency.
This is about making the track work in the real world—not just in isolation.
Balance the sound. Protect the intent.
Strong finishing work enhances the original idea without overprocessing it.
The result is audio that feels balanced, intentional, and complete.
Our outputs are built for release, distribution, and real-world use.
Everything is designed to sound right—wherever it’s played.
Unfinished sound breaks the experience.
Even strong recordings can feel inconsistent or weak without proper finishing. Differences between playback systems can expose imbalance, reduce impact, or flatten the mix.
Mixing and mastering solve that. They bring control, cohesion, and reliability to the final output—so the work holds its shape across environments.
RIOT finishes sound with precision, restraint, and a clear focus on translation.
This is where audio becomes dependable.
RIOT created The First Part Is the Dreaming, a short documentary portrait of Oscar-winning costume designer Kate Hawley, exploring instinct, vulnerability, authorship, and the private act of making through the lens of her work on Frankenstein.
Explore the Project →Forged in the after-hours quiet when the world sleeps and creation wakes, This Is My Masterpiece is RIOT at full voltage. Directed by MUG5, the film resurrects a 2009 prophecy and transforms it into an apocalyptic vision stitched from VFX, AI hallucinations, C4D architecture, binary-coded secrets, and pure creative instinct. A world-ending fever dream — designed, sculpted, and born entirely inside RIOT’s creative engine.
