MixWithRick.com on SoundBetter

I'm RickG. I play about 13 different instruments.I specialize in bringing material to life through creative editing/mixing/mastering as well as string arrangements and more!

Atmos Ready and Located in Denton, Tx- I cater to all genres of music. I utilize Universal Audio gear and all the latest plugins to get the project where YOU want it. I've definitely fixed my share of poorly mixed sessions and I've seen and fixed just about all the mistakes that can be made by a bad engineer.

I'm a music producer, not just an engineer. I am an alumni from the renowned University of North Texas College of Music (Norah Jones, Don Henley, Lacrae, Snarky Puppy to name a few)

I bring musicality to editing, a highly detailed ear and adventurous mixing to boot.

Work with me, and you're not just a client, you are a personal project of mine.
