Hey, I am a freelance audio engineer and musician from New York. I studied and graduated from the Institute of Audio Research where I earned a certificate in Audio Production & Engineering and will be continuing my studies at SUNY Purchase College in the Fall.
I can edit, mix and master your tracks. I've played guitar for the last 13 years so I can also provide session guitar if needed. Please feel free to contact me if interested.

Interview with Ryan Baker
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Gorillaz. Damon Albarn collaborates with so many people and creates dynamic records.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Always listen.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock, Metal, Experimental and Hip Hop. I've been in all types of bands that performed those types of music as well.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill would be my attention to detail.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I try to keep the vibe of the song true to its performance. Meaning, I don't like adding too much processing. However, I like a clear listening experience with dynamics.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I listen to the song a few times before anything. I'll take notes on why needs to be done or what I can add to make it better. If its editing or mixing/mastering I'll do the necessary steps. If its adding session guitar work, I'll record multiple parts or takes of what I think sounds good and send it back for review.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Studio is set up for mobile work, small and digital. I will be acquiring more gear and space over time.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Editing and Mastering.
