Ryan Classe on SoundBetter

Your music is your story, and my job is to make that story come alive through the speakers.

Hi! I'm Ryan,
Growing up in a musical family, it seems as though I was destined to be in the music industry. I started playing guitar in my early years all the way through high school, but it was purely a hobby. After high school, I got accepted into college to study aerospace engineering. Little did I know I'd get offered to play guitar full time for an artist... So I took the gig and left college after my second semester. That one choice led me to be a full time musician, being exposed to all the different facets of the music industry. After experiencing the process of creating music start to finish I learned what makes great records, and perhaps more important, what DOESN'T make great records. It was then I started to find my bread and butter as a mix engineer. Today I use my years of experience to craft unique, bold, and state-of-the-art mixes.

You're looking for a mix engineer and I'm here to make the mixing process as smooth, transparent, and timely as possible. My specialty is mixing CCM & Gospel music. I do love to work in other genres (pop, rock, indie) because there are so many similarities that cross over.

Message me and let's chat about how I can help you & your music.

Ryan was amazing to work with. He truly allowed our music to come to life! His communication was excellent and was always on top of everything and very timely with his responses and mixing. His attention to detail is amazing and he truly listens to what YOU have in mind for your project.

Ryan’s mixing was superb for our 5 song EP project, and he undoubtedly puts his soul into his work. I would highly recommend using Ryan for any future project you would need.

Ryan mixed an extremely long song of mine that had noisy recordings and many vocal layerings.... despite all of this, the song now sounds nothing short of AMAZING! He worked extremely fast and gave attention to each detail of the song. He turned over revisions quickly and was very kind throughout the entire process. If you want someone who will genuinely care about your music and deliver an AMAZING mix... work with Ryan!!!!

I’ve had Ryan mix a few of my songs (outside of SoundBetter) and each time he exceeded my expectations. Ryan helped make my music come alive! I will definitely be hiring him again in the near future.

Interview with Ryan Classe

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: You'll love the mix I craft for you. If not, you get your money back.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What's your story? The story behind the music you wrote? Do you have a specific sound you're going after? What's your plan after mixing is complete? What do you like most about your music? What do you like least about your music?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Make sure to hire someone who believes in you. Also, go visit their website and social media pages. Don't be afraid to schedule a phone call or start an email. I love talking to clients.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Natural. I like to preserve the natural characteristics of the music. We are humans after all, not robots.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Less is sometimes more. But more is sometimes more too...
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring out the best of what is already there. I help tell the story the artist has written.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Remote mixing. I work with artists all around the world. I always make sure to talk with the artist or producer beforehand so I can have a clear picture of what they want. Sometimes they don't know what they want, then it is my job to interpret what they've written and go from there.
