Ryan John Stephenson on SoundBetter

From tracking and editing, to mixing and mastering, I can help you achieve the sound in your head when it comes to your music. I'm not here to hijack your project and impose my "sound" on the production. My job is to take your vision and make it a sonic reality. Leave the ego at the door.

I'm Ryan Stephenson, a professional sound engineer and producer based in Enfield.

I'm not backwards in coming forwards. If you ask for my opinion on something, I'll tell you straight. Likewise, I expect clients to do the same with me. It's a two way street. Transparent and open communication are key to successful collaboration.

From rock, to country, to pop. I can help produce your next project, including sourcing session musicians.

I'm experienced in remote recording, having worked with artists in Nashville, New York, São Paulo, Germany and London. So don't let geographical restrictions stop you from getting in touch.

Full portfolio of my production work can be found at www.eandrsounds.com

Ryan knows his stuff when it comes to writing, playing, recording and mixing, especially in the alternative rock genre. He is also one of the few people who manage to find just the right balance between conscientiously planning ahead and creating enough space to be creative and flexible throughout the entire collaboration process. His polite yet direct way of communicating makes it easy to develop ideas together and you just know at the end of the day you’ll be listening to a quality production. I’ll gladly recommend working with Ryan.

Ryan is an excellent choice for contemporary Hard Rock material. His organized and friendly approach to our past collaboration presented a sum greater than just the parts of the production. Both technical and creative aspects of Instrumental and Vocal processing were top-notch and therefore his services are highly suggested!
