About

Audio Mutt Studios is a place that is all about everything audio. Whether that be mixing, mastering, editing, acoustics, podcasting, sound effects, music, or anything else having to do with sound. We live and breathe audio. We also love our furry four legged friends. Dogs are amazing, loyal, and honest companions. The owner and lead engineer of Audio Mutt, Matt Jones, and his family adopted a mixed breed black and tan rescue dog that they named Kara the Super Mutt. From that the name Audio Mutt was inspired. We are a mix of all things audio. Especially in today’s world it’s often helpful to be a jack of all trades. As such, our skills are a mix of multiple disciplines all pulled together to enable us to do what we were born to do- make the best quality audio productions possible for our clients.

Owner/Lead Engineer- Matt Jones

Matt loves music and working with everything audio. Originally from West Texas, he moved to DFW after marrying his wife Lara. He started studying music in Junior High when he played trumpet in the school band. In high school he left the trumpet behind and instead picked up guitar. In college he minored in Music and performed with the university concert, pep, and jazz bands as well as local West Texas rock bands New Days Dawn and Silence the Khaos.

He took semesters of drum set, violin, and classical guitar to round out his musical knowledge. After graduating with his BA in English he decided to pursue a more application based education and enrolled at South Plains College in their Sound Technology Applied Sciences program. He went on to graduate from SPC with honors and earned his Operator level certification in Pro Tools for Music.

Professionally, Matt has released a full length album, produced numerous videos for local schools, and worked as a composer for podcasts and online video series. He has experience in sound design as well as music production. In his free time he enjoys playing video games, Dungeons & Dragons, and just being an all-around huge nerd.
