Build Your Site — mystudiopage

Step 1 of 10

What Do
You Do?

This shapes your site's layout, language, and the sections we show. Pick the one that best describes what you do most.

🎛

Mastering

You take finished mixes and prepare them for release — streaming, vinyl, CD. Your clients send you a stereo file.

🎚

Mixing

You balance, shape, and process individual tracks from stems. Your clients send you a session or stem folder.

🎧

Mix + Master

You do both in one package. Common for engineers who want to own the full process from stems to release.

🎹

Production

You create the music from scratch — beats, arrangements, full instrumentals. Artists come to you to build their sound.

✍️

Songwriter

You write songs — lyrics, melodies, toplining, or full compositions. Artists and labels come to you to craft their next hit.

🎤

Artist

You perform and release your own music. Your page is your portfolio — showcasing your sound, your story, and your work.

Step 2 of 10

Tell Us About
Yourself

This is what shows up at the top of your site and in your about section. Write it how you'd introduce yourself to a new client.

Your Name

Your real name or the name you go by professionally

Studio / Business Name

Leave blank to just use your name

Studio Name Examples

Black Fox Mastering · Redline Audio · Studio 44 · Waveline Mix · Hollow Road Productions — keep it short, memorable, and something you'd be comfortable putting on an invoice.

Tagline

One sentence. What do you do and who do you do it for?

Tagline Examples

Mastering: "Warm, detailed masters for independent artists"
Mixing: "Mixes that make your record sound like it belongs on the radio"
Mix+Master: "From stems to streaming — one engineer, one vision"
Production: "Custom beats and full productions for artists who take their sound seriously"
Prod+Mix: "I build the track and mix it. You just show up and perform."

Your Bio

Select text then click B or I to format. Press Enter twice for a new paragraph. S / M / L sets the text size on your live site.

Bio Example

"I've been mastering records for 10 years out of my studio in Nashville. I work mostly with independent artists across genres — from bedroom pop to jazz — who want a professional sound without the major label price tag. Every project gets my full attention and as many revisions as it takes to get it right."

What Sets You Apart

Select text then click B or I to format. Press Enter twice for a new paragraph. S / M / L sets the text size on your live site.

What Sets You Apart — Examples

Mastering: "Every master I deliver translates — headphones, club speakers, car stereos. I've spent years tuning my monitoring chain specifically for that. You'll never get a master from me that sounds great in one place and falls apart in another."

Mixing: "I treat every mix like it's my own record. That means I'm not rushing through it — I'm listening, making decisions, and pushing back if something isn't working. Artists who want a collaborator, not just a set of ears, tend to stick around."

Contact Email

This is how clients will reach you. It'll appear on your contact section.

Step 3 of 10

Add Your
Photo

A photo builds instant trust. Clients are more likely to reach out when they can see a real person behind the work. This one step makes a bigger difference than almost anything else on your site.

📷

Click to upload your photo

JPG or PNG · At least 800×800px recommended

✓ What works

Clear face shot, upper body. Confident, natural expression — not stiff. Studio setting is a real bonus. Clean or blurred background. You're the obvious subject.

✗ What to avoid

Blurry, dark, or heavily filtered. Cropped from a group photo. Sunglasses. Photos where you look like you didn't want to be photographed.

Lighting Tips

Best option — natural window light

Stand facing a window (not sideways to it). The light should hit your face straight on. Overcast days are perfect — the clouds diffuse everything and you get soft, even light with no harsh shadows. This works better than most studio lights.

In your studio

Sit at your desk or stand near your gear. Turn on any room lights you have and supplement with a ring light or a desk lamp pointed at a white wall (not directly at your face). The studio context adds credibility — clients like seeing the setup.

Quick phone setup

Lean your phone against something stable. Turn on Portrait Mode. Face your light source. Hit the timer, take 10 shots. You'll get at least two or three usable ones. It takes five minutes and is absolutely worth it.

No Photo of Yourself?

Studio photo is a valid alternative

If you're not comfortable with a personal photo, a well-framed shot of your studio, desk, or gear works well. Make sure it's well-lit, in focus, and actually looks like a professional space. A photo of your monitors, interface, and a clean desk says a lot about how you work.

Step 4 of 10

Your Audio
Samples

Your work section lets clients hear what you do before they reach out. We use SoundCloud links so you're not paying to host audio files.

🔒 Using client work?

Keep it off your public profile by setting it to Private on SoundCloud. To do that: open the track → click the pencil/edit icon → under Privacy set it to Private → save. Then to embed it here, go to Share → Embed tab and paste the whole code block into the field below — we'll handle the rest. The track will play on your site but won't appear on your public SoundCloud profile or in search.

🤝 Featuring someone else's work?

If a track features another artist, producer, or client, ask their permission before posting it publicly. A quick message — "mind if I use this on my portfolio?" — is usually all it takes. Most people say yes, and it keeps the relationship solid.

🎨 Album art tip

SoundCloud shows the track's artwork in the player. If a track doesn't have art yet, a simple plain black or white image with the track or artist name in clean text looks sharp and professional — much better than the default grey placeholder. You can make one in minutes in Canva or even just a solid colour square in any image editor.

I Have SoundCloud

I already have tracks uploaded and ready to link

🆕

I Need To Set It Up

I don't have a SoundCloud yet — show me how

Setting Up SoundCloud

⏱ Takes about 5–10 minutes

Create a free account

Go to soundcloud.com and sign up. Use your studio name as your username — e.g. blackfoxmastering. This becomes part of your profile URL.

Upload your best work

Click the orange Upload button. Pick 2–3 tracks that show the range of your work. MP3 at 320kbps is fine. Give each track a clear title like "Artist Name — Song Title (Mastered by Black Fox)"

Set privacy & copy the link

Once uploaded, click the track. For public tracks, copy the URL from your browser bar. For private tracks, click Share → Embed tab — you'll see an iframe code block. Copy the URL from the src="..." attribute — it starts with https://w.soundcloud.com/player/. That's the one to paste here. The "Private Share" link on the Share tab looks different and won't work in an embed player.

Come back and paste your links

Once you have at least one link ready, fill in the fields below. You can always add more later. Secret/private embed links work just like public ones — they'll play fine on your site.

Step 5 of 10

Services
& Rates

We've pre-filled these based on your engineer type. Edit the names, descriptions, and prices to match what you actually offer. Don't undercharge — clients expect to pay for quality.

Pricing Guidance

Starting out: $50–75/track is fair while building your roster. Mid-level: $85–150/track once you have a body of work. Established: $150–300/track. Don't start too low — it's harder to raise prices than to offer a discount.

Step 6 of 10

Your
Stats

Quick facts that tell clients what working with you looks like. Start with four — add or remove to suit what you actually want to highlight. Pick things that are genuinely true and that matter to your clients.

Examples by engineer type

Step 7 of 10

Social
Links

Add any social profiles you want clients to find. Leave any blank and it simply won't appear on your site — no harm done.

Tip

You don't need to be everywhere. Even just one or two links is enough. SoundCloud is the most important one for audio engineers — clients will often check it before reaching out.

Step 8 of 10

Pick Your
Color Scheme

Each theme is a complete look — colors, feel, the whole thing. Pick the one that feels most like you and how you want clients to perceive your work.

Dark Gold — classic, warm, premium. Works for any genre.
Midnight Blue — modern, cool, technical. Great for electronic or pop.

Layout guide

Default — centered, editorial. Strong hero, clean sections.

Step 10 of 10

Almost
Live.

Choose your subdomain and hit Publish. Your site will be live within seconds at your mystudiopage.com address.

Your URL

https://

.mystudiopage.com

🟢 Your site will be live at: blackfox.mystudiopage.com

Use your studio name, no spaces or special characters. e.g. blackfoxmastering or blackfox

What happens when you publish

Your site goes live instantly. Share the link with anyone — clients, collaborators, anyone you want to check out your work. You can come back and edit anything at any time and changes go live immediately. If you buy your own domain later, we'll walk you through connecting it in about 5 minutes.

Customize

Describe any change — visual or content — and the AI will apply it. Style tweaks, new sections, spacing fixes, testimonials, gear lists, paragraph edits, anything. Optionally upload a photo to include.

"Add a testimonials section after services" "Add a gear list section after my bio" "Add a press / features section" "Make the hero section taller" "Add more space between sections" "Make the CTA button rounded" "Make the nav stick to the top" "Make my studio name smaller"

Custom domain & contact form — for those who want more control

▼

🌐 Use Your Own Custom Domain

e.g. blackfoxmastering.com instead of blackfox.mystudiopage.com

▶

If you've already bought a domain (or want to), you can point it to your mystudiopage site. This takes about 5 minutes once you have your domain set up.

Buy a domain

If you don't have one, go to namecheap.com and search for your studio name. blackfoxmastering.com typically costs $10–15/year. Always go for .com if it's available — clients trust it more.

Find your domain's DNS settings

Log into wherever you bought the domain. Look for DNS Settings or Manage DNS. On Namecheap it's under Domain List → Manage → Advanced DNS. On GoDaddy it's under My Products → DNS. On Squarespace it's under Domains → your domain → DNS Settings → Custom Records.

Add these two DNS records

Add a new record for each of these exactly as shown. Delete any existing A or CNAME records for @ and www first — conflicting records will break it.

76.76.21.21

CNAME

cname.vercel-dns.com

Enter your domain below, then hit Publish

Paste your domain in the field below and publish your site — we'll automatically connect it on our end. DNS propagation usually takes a few minutes, sometimes up to an hour. Once it's live, both yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com will show your site.

Your Custom Domain

Don't include https:// — just the domain name itself

📬 Add a Contact Form

Let clients message you directly from your site — no email app required

▶

By default your site shows your email address with a button that opens the client's mail app. If you want a built-in form instead, you can connect Formspree — it's free for basic use and takes about 3 minutes.

Create a free Formspree account

Go to formspree.io and sign up with your email. It's free for up to 50 submissions per month — more than enough for a studio site.

Create a new form

Click + New Form, give it a name like "Studio Contact", and set the notification email to wherever you want messages sent.

Copy your Form ID

After creating the form, Formspree gives you an endpoint URL like https://formspree.io/f/xrgvkpqw. The ID is just the short code at the end — xrgvkpqw — not the full URL. If you paste the whole URL we'll extract the ID automatically, but just the ID is safest.

Paste your Form ID below & test after publishing

After publishing, always submit a test message through your live site to confirm it's wired up. If it shows "Form not found", the ID is wrong — double-check it against your Formspree dashboard.
