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.
Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.
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.
