RADIX MEDIA / CHRIS CAUTHEN
I’m a producer, engineer, and lifelong sound artist based in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. I’ve spent over three decades helping musicians, performers, and storytellers bring their vision to life through audio—both in studio and on stage.
I run a private, home-based recording studio built for focus, warmth, and depth. It’s a space where experienced artists can create meaningful work without distractions. I also collaborate with clients remotely and work as a hired engineer or producer in any commercial studio.
In addition to music production, I offer voiceover recording, post-production sound editing, color grading, videography, and video editing services. My work appears on IMDb, I’ve contributed to Emmy Award–winning television, and I’m a contributing member of the Recording Academy (Grammys)—helping guide artists through the submission process with both technical and creative insight.
I’ve worked with high-profile individuals and understand the discretion, professionalism, and communication required in those environments. Whether supporting a public figure, executive, or seasoned artist, I know how to show up prepared and let the work speak for itself.
Alongside my creative work, I bring extensive experience as an IT professional and people leader in the corporate world. Decades of managing teams and navigating complex systems have shaped my approach to production—with clear communication, grounded leadership, and a deep respect for time and process.
I operate through Radix Media LLC, a boutique production house I formed to help artists and professionals navigate their creative goals with clarity and confidence. Beyond my own offerings, I’m connected to a trusted network of audio engineers, studio musicians, videographers, graphic artists, photographers, directors, and producers. If I’m not the right fit for your project, there’s a good chance someone in the Radix network is—and I’m happy to help make that connection.
What Matters to Me
Sincerity – I’d rather work on something real than something trendy.
Craft – The details matter. Mic choice, mix decisions, the energy in the room.
Respect – I protect the creative space. That means no chaos, no substances, no flakiness.
Legacy – Whether it’s a voiceover, a record, or a full-length album—it should hold up 20 years from now.
