Your Music.
Our Craft.
Mixing, mastering and film production for artists – whether you know exactly what you want, or need someone to help you figure it out.
Drei Kernbereiche. Ein Studio.
We focus on what we genuinely do well – and work closely with you until the result sounds and looks exactly the way you imagined.
Your song deserves a mix that breathes – not one that's just loud. We mix studio and live recordings of all genres, focussing on dynamics, depth and emotional impact. Remote or on location.
From the first concept to the final cut. We develop a visual language that fits your music – no stock footage aesthetic, no compromises. Shooting locations worldwide.
Multi-camera, professional live audio recording, mixing and mastering – everything from one source. From small club shows to major festivals. We come to you – worldwide.

Most artists don't come with a finished plan – they come with an idea, a feeling, or simply the desire for it to finally sound professional. That's enough.
We guide you through the entire process: from the first idea to the right strategy for your budget and the finished product. No studio jargon – just an honest conversation about what's possible and what makes sense.
No commitment required. Drop us a message about what you're planning – we'll get back to you and listen.






punchline studio is not an anonymous production house. Behind every project are Maik and Pirmin Styrnol – two creatives with the ambition to make every project better than anything before it.
We're based in Lahr near Freiburg, Germany – but that doesn't matter if you're in Italy, the US or anywhere else. Remote mixing and mastering works just as well as in person. For video productions, we travel worldwide.
Founded in 2015. Over 100 productions: music mixed for independent artists across all genres, concert films for international touring acts, music videos, and award-winning documentaries screened at film festivals across Europe and beyond.
Our documentaries – Winter in Lviv, Für ein Lächeln and the upcoming Heart And Soul – have been recognised at multiple international film festivals.

Remote mixing and mastering is no compromise – we work daily with artists from Germany, Italy, the US and beyond, entirely online, with the same results as in person.
For video productions and concert films we come to you. We're based in the tri-border region of Germany–France–Switzerland, but no location is too far. Whether Berlin, London, New York or Lagos – if the project demands it, we're there.
