Mobile Sessions Llc

What Mobile Sessions Llc does

Mobile Sessions LLC, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Burbank, California, operates the first fully mobile Dolby Atmos-certified recording studio in the United States. The business is built around a custom-designed 31-foot RV housing a professional-grade recording environment with an SSL AWS 900 SE+ analog console, a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos production room tuned and certified by Dolby, Dynaudio monitors, and the ability to record up to 128 audio channels in any major DAW (Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, StudioOne, Digital Performer). The studio is self-powered via an internal 12,500W generator with UPS backup, achieves -44dB noise reduction, and can operate at any location — from concert venues and rehearsal spaces to off-grid outdoor sites — making it the only commercially available mobile studio of this caliber in the country.

The company sells professional services on a project/hourly basis to recording artists, major record labels (Warner Records, Sony Music, RCA, Epitaph, Warner Music Latina), film/TV post-production clients, brands seeking experiential activations, and educational institutions. Revenue streams include studio and live recording, Dolby Atmos mixing, film/TV audio post-production (sound design, ADR, voiceovers), experiential event activations, and educational music experiences. Each session includes a driver and engineer, and the studio is supported by co-founders Christine Hufenbecher (Managing Director — Business, music management veteran since 2009) and Grammy-nominated engineer Kenny Moran (Managing Director — Engineering, 20+ years industry experience), along with a small team of five engineers/assistants.

Mobile Sessions is a privately held, bootstrapped LLC with no institutional investment, no public pricing, and no disclosed revenue. The company goes to market through relationship-based sales, deep technical partnerships with gear manufacturers (Avid, Dolby, Dynaudio, SSL, Shure, Neumann, Roland, Native Instruments, Merging Technologies, among others), earned media coverage in Rolling Stone, Billboard, Live Design, and Shure Insights, and event-driven demand generation. A 2025 LA Fires Music Assist Program expanded its community footprint through partnerships with CenterStaging, She Is The Music, MusicCares, and Wayne Brady.

Direct peers

• Remote Recording Services: Long-established mobile recording specialist serving live concerts, broadcast events, and location recording worldwide. Closest functional peer to Mobile Sessions' mobile-recording model, though historically focused on classical, jazz, and broadcast rather than Atmos music production.
• CenterStaging: Burbank-based rehearsal, performance, and production facility that is an existing Mobile Sessions partner on the LA Fires Music Assist Program. Targets the same artist/labels customer base in LA and provides a complementary fixed-location option.

Broad incumbents

• Paramount Recording Studios: LA recording facility where Keith Gretlein also previously worked. Targets the same local artist and label market with a fixed-location offering.
• Capitol Studios: Historic Universal-owned recording complex in Hollywood with newly built Atmos-capable mix rooms. Represents an incumbent competitor and potential partner for Atmos work that Mobile Sessions also targets.
• NEP Group: Large-scale mobile broadcast and production-truck operator. Represents the kind of scaled, capital-backed mobile production infrastructure Mobile Sessions could become if it expanded fleet size.
• Record Plant: Legendary LA recording studio serving major-label artists across decades. Competes for premium recording and mixing budgets but lacks mobile or Atmos-mobile positioning.
• Sunset Sound Recorders: Long-running Hollywood recording studio serving major-label projects. Competes for the same premium artist bookings as Mobile Sessions but with a fixed-room model.
• Westlake Recording Studios: Established LA recording facility also listed among Keith Gretlein's prior employers. Targets the same professional artist and label client base with deep fixed-location infrastructure rather than mobile delivery.
• Henson Recording Studios: Iconic LA recording studio (former A&M Studios) where Mobile Sessions' own engineer Keith Gretlein previously worked. Competes for the same major-label recording work, but as a fixed-location incumbent without mobile capability.
• Encore Studios: LA-based recording and post-production studio in Keith Gretlein's prior roster. Competes for the same premium music and audio post-production work in the LA market.
