Short and sweet from my perspective: there usually isn't just one studio behind a cartoon's original soundtrack. The production company (the cartoon's studio) often commissions the composer and a music production house. Recording typically happens at a scoring stage or a commercial studio, mixing is done at a separate mixing studio, and mastering happens at a mastering house. Then a label or the production studio releases the OST. If you want names, look at the credits; I love spotting familiar mastering houses on my favorite OSTs.
If you meant a specific title like 'The House' or any cartoon titled 'House', credits will be your friend — but speaking from having chased down many OSTs, production is usually split across several studios rather than handled by one place. Typically the animation studio or a commissioned music-house produces the music, recording takes place at a scoring or commercial studio, mixing is done at a separate facility, and mastering is handled by a mastering house before a label releases the soundtrack. I love how collaborative it is; every time I spot a favorite mastering engineer or scoring stage in the liner notes it gives the soundtrack a familiar, comforting vibe.
I nerd out over technical credits, so here's a more gear-and-process focused breakdown. The soundtrack’s creation pipeline normally involves several specialized facilities. First, the score is produced by the composer and a music production team — sometimes that's the cartoon's own studio music department, sometimes an external music production company. Live orchestral parts are frequently recorded at scoring stages or big studios (for example AIR Lyndhurst or Abbey Road for UK/Europe projects, certain scoring stages in LA for Hollywood projects). After recording, stems go to a mixing studio where a mixing engineer balances orchestral, synth and sound design elements. The final touch is mastering, completed by a mastering house that ensures the OST translates across speakers and streaming platforms. Distribution then gets handled by a label or the production's distribution partner. All these specialized studios leave their fingerprints on the soundtrack; recognizing them in the credits has become one of my favorite little rituals.
Credits are a rabbit hole I willingly fall into, so I went back through the ones I know and pieced this together for you.
For most animated 'house' projects the original soundtrack tends to be a collaboration rather than a single studio effort. The primary composer or music supervisor usually works with the animation production company’s in-house music team or an external music production house to produce the score. From there the recordings are commonly tracked at well-known scoring stages or commercial studios (think Abbey Road, AIR Lyndhurst, or local scoring stages depending on region), mixed at a dedicated mixing studio, and then mastered by a mastering house such as Metropolis Mastering or Sterling Sound. The final release is typically handled by whichever label the production has a deal with — independent projects sometimes self-release, while larger ones use labels like Milan Records or Sony Classical.
If you're trying to pin down a single credit line, check the end credits or the liner notes — you'll usually see separate entries for 'Music Produced By', 'Recorded At', 'Mixed At', and 'Mastered At', which tells you exactly which studios were involved. I always enjoy tracing those names; it feels like following breadcrumbs through the soundtrack's journey.
I dug up the typical pattern from a bunch of OST credits and here's a compact take: the 'house' cartoon soundtrack would normally list the animation studio or production company as the principal producer, with a music production house handling score production. Recording is often done at a dedicated scoring stage or a high-end commercial studio — popular places include Abbey Road, Capitol, or regional scoring stages depending on the country. After tracking, a specialized mixing studio polishes the stems and then a mastering house finalizes the release. Finally, the soundtrack is distributed by a record label (or self-released). So, rather than one single studio, multiple studios usually share the workload: production company/publisher, recording/scoring studio, mixing house, and mastering engineer. I find it fascinating how many hands shape the final sound — it explains why cinematic cartoons can have such rich, layered soundscapes.
