I’m Clint Luttjohann, the engineer behind Sounds of Chaos Below — a mixing and mastering studio dedicated to extreme and heavy music. From slamming brutal death metal and blackened deathcore to atmospheric dark ambient, I specialize in transforming raw recordings into massive, polished soundscapes that hit hard without losing their edge.
Whether you’re a solo artist recording at home or a full band ready to release your next album, I’ll help your music achieve the power, depth, and aggression it deserves. Every mix is handled with care — dialed in for streaming, physical release, and your exact sonic goals.
Sounds of Chaos Below was built from a lifelong obsession with tone, atmosphere, and storytelling through sound. I treat every project as a creative collaboration — your music becomes my mission until it sounds exactly the way it should.
With over a decade of experience writing, producing, and engineering metal, I’ve refined my process using both analog warmth and modern digital precision. My workflow is built around Pro Tools, Fractal Axe-FX III, and Focusrite Clarett+ hardware — supported by a curated collection of premium plugins and IRs for maximum clarity and punch.

I focus on extreme and heavy music — including death metal, blackened deathcore, slam, grind, and dark ambient projects.
That said, I’ve worked with a variety of artists from melodic rock to cinematic instrumentals. If your project is intense, atmospheric, or emotional, I’ll make it shine.
Export your stems as 24-bit WAV files starting at the same point in your DAW (bar 1 or 0:00).
Make sure no master bus limiters, compressors, or EQs are active unless they’re creative effects you want to keep.
If you’re unsure, I can guide you through a quick export checklist before you send your files.
For single songs, the average turnaround is 3–5 business days for mixing and 1–2 days for mastering.
Larger projects like EPs or albums can vary depending on revisions and scheduling.
Rush delivery is available upon request.
Yes. Every mix/master includes two free rounds of revisions to make sure you’re 100% satisfied.
Additional tweaks beyond that are always welcome — I just ask for a small hourly fee to cover extra time.
Absolutely. If your mix is already finished but needs that final polish, I can master it for digital release, CD, or streaming platforms — with loudness optimized for Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
My core setup includes a Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre, Fractal Axe-FX III, Focal Clear MG headphones, and Presonus Eris E5 XT monitors, all running through Pro Tools.
Plugin arsenal includes Neural DSP, FabFilter, Izotope, Waves, Kazrog, and more — all tuned for professional-grade metal production.
You can upload your zipped stems to a Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer link.
Once received, I’ll confirm everything loaded correctly before starting your mix.
Yes — that’s exactly what I specialize in.
Even if your tracks were recorded in a basic setup, I can clean them up, rebalance levels, and sculpt them into a mix that hits hard and sounds studio-ready.
Yes! I work with artists worldwide.
All communication, payments, and file transfers can be handled online — no need for in-person sessions.
Most projects are paid half up front, half on delivery, via PayPal.
For repeat clients, full payment on delivery is often fine.
Definitely. Send me a song or two that represents the tone or loudness you’re aiming for.
I’ll match the character and energy while keeping your mix unique and authentic.
