Overview
The long nights finally give you more time for your favourite activities: making music, recording, producing, mixing and mastering.
Of course, this will also put you in the mood for the XMAS MIX CONTEST. What could be better than mixing a Christmas song in the cozy comfort of your own home – and when it sounds really good, you can even win great prizes as a reward! For the 16th time in a row, HOFA is organising the XMAS MIX CONTEST – for everyone who loves festive studio work.
This year's contest song, "Santa Claus Is Coming", combines elements of electronic and rock music with powerful drums, delicate flutes and violins. As always, the contest song was written and produced by HOFA CEO Jochen Sachse, and all the musicians are members of the HOFA team as well.
