The Bailey is a private immersive studio in Traverse City, Michigan — spatial mixes for music, film, and games, haptics and AR-ready deliverables, critical listening you can trust, and stereo catalogs rebuilt for the spatial era.
Object-based audio isn't a format checkbox — it's a different way to stage a mix. The room is calibrated for it, the deliverables come out to spec, and the work translates from earbuds to theater.
Singles, albums, and score — mixed natively for spatial platforms alongside your stereo masters, with binaural renders checked the way listeners actually hear them.
Movie and series mixes with theatrical intent — dialog forward, dynamics kept honest, and translation checked from the couch to the cinema.
Interactive-ready sessions: object-based mixes, stems, and loudness targets built for engine integration and living-room playback alike.
Your existing catalog, rebuilt as a true spatial mix — real object placement from your stems, not a widener plug-in. Ready for re-release.
Mixes that reach past the speakers — haptics passes for wearables and AR-ready spatial scenes, authored in sync with picture and engine.
Every major platform now curates spatial content — and curated placement is discovery. A spatial-ready catalog is how you show up in Apple Music's spatial playlists, on Apple TV and iTunes, and in the immersive tiers on Netflix, Amazon, and Tidal.
We deliver to each platform's spec and hand you a submission-ready package — so the distance between "mixed" and "live" is paperwork, not re-work.
Acoustic design by Music City Acoustics: broadband treatment, controlled reflections, and a calibrated monitoring chain in a genuinely quiet outbuilding.
Book it for approvals, mastering QC, translation checks, or just to hear your record the way it was meant to arrive — before the rest of the world does.
The Bailey is the studio behind ScoreCanvas — interactive music courseware for higher ed, TC NewTech award-winning and built in Traverse City.
Students design adaptive game-music systems on a visual canvas, hear them run in the browser, and turn in assignments as a single URL — with exports that speak Wwise and FMOD.
The Bailey is a ground-up studio build behind our home in Traverse City — engineered acoustics, a stained concrete floor, a black-plank ceiling, and a wall of walnut shelves under sage wool panels.
Marked at the door in 3/16" corten steel.
The Bailey isn't a commercial facility — it's a room we care about, shared by introduction. If you have a mix, a catalog, or a title that belongs in spatial, say hello.
