Ryan Cramp on SoundBetter

I am truly passionate about music. If you have good songs, and you want someone to help take it to the next level, I am your guy. I will put in the time, effort, and pay attention to all the small details that make you, YOU as an artist.

Hi,

I'm Ryan and I am addicted to music. I have been since I was 14 years old when my parents bought me a bass guitar for my birthday. Since then I have played in rock bands and gathered a lot of experience as a bassist, singer and guitarist, having played many shows in Australia as well as Canada. I have been a bedroom producer for the past 6 or so years and have produced my own music (unreleased) and honing my skills to reach a professional level. In the past year or so, my passion has shifted into wanting to work with other artists, whether its producing their music, mixing their music or writing with/for them. Until now, I did not have the means to do so, but fast forward to today, and I have built a dedicated professional home studio where I have pro gear and what I believe to be great ears for what will set you apart from other artists out there. I believe my attention to detail is second to none, whether it be in editing, recording, mixing etc. Let's make some music!

    Absolutely outstanding engineer. I have mastered multiple mixes from Ryan and they have all been incredible. I can tell that he cares about the music he is producing and mixing. It is so prevalent in any release he has been involved in. An absolutely genuine person who will give 110% and more to your release. Highly recommend.

    We can't recommend Ryan enough as a mix engineer and a producer. His ideas and the sculpting of us sonically has made us a better band and it shows on the recordings. He is super easy to work with but is far from a yes man. He doesn't pull any punches on his feedback but also knows when to let us make our own decisions with a "let's see how it sounds" approach. 99% of the time though, he's right on the money.

    Ryan has essentially become a band member in the sense that he knows exactly where to take our sound. Chemistry is important beyond the band too. He's our very own Ken Andrews!

    The mixes that Ryan has done for me have been incredible. I am in love with the tone and feel of them. Ryan is super easy to work with, works to achieve the best for the artist, and his passion for music and bands really comes through in the way he communicates and executes his work. Strongly recommended.

  21. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  22. A: It is about WHO you work with, not where or what gear you get to use. Look for someone hungry for wins. If they aren't as passionate as you, walk away. The amount of times I have paid good money to people who I thought would help me grow, and they had not even heard my pre-pro prior to walking into the room is crazy.

  35. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  36. A: Making the artist feel comfortable when performing. If they do the ground work, I don't really need to do the heavy lifting.

  37. Q: What's your typical work process?

  38. A: I find out the vision of the band/artist. I analyze pre-production from the band and take notes on what could make the song stronger.

I then work with the artist to make their vision become a reality whilst putting my signature on their music.
