Liam Ravita on SoundBetter

Professional mixing/mastering with an emphasis in rock/pop/indie genres - Let me level up your song!

With many years of gigging as a guitarist/singer and working with bands/artists while studying audio engineering and music production in college (University of Alabama and Georgia State University), I have recorded, written, and performed music professionally in a variety of genres. I specialize and most enjoy working with songwriters and bands in the indie-adjacent genres (indie rock, indie pop, indie folk), but I am open to anything! Below is a list of services I offer, with the primary being mixing/mastering.

MIXING/MASTERING - Get your music in the best shape to be released to the world! I use Pro Tools with a variety of industry standard plugins including the UAD pack. Check below for examples of my mixes.

PRODUCING - Need an instrumental track for your vocals? Need to produce your song up to studio quality? I've got you covered. With my home studio, I'm able to lay down instrumental tracks using LIVE INSTRUMENTS including drums, guitars, bass, horns, piano, keys, and bring your song to life.

RECORDING - Come in to the studio solo to track vocals, or bring your whole band to record live together. Message me for more information.

Let's make some music! If you have any questions or would like to inquire further, shoot me an email.

by Nathan Eassa
Phenomenal musician and sound engineer. Played in a band with him in college, and he handled our live sound and recordings. His mixing skills are unparalleled, and he always put extra time into his projects to achieve professional quality. His musicianship is also on another level, as he was always able to play guitar and bass as a member of multiple groups at a time. Couldn’t recommend Liam enough.
by Justin Ritondo
Liam is an incredible musician, friend, engineer, and songwriter. Through my time knowing him he has exhibited a tenacity and love for what he does that I have rarely seen in engineers or musicians out there right now. He is patient, helpful, determined, and a consistent hardworker. I played music with Liam for 2 years before graduating and was lucky to do so. I would recommend him for any project you have going forward that you want to sound killer, he’ll get you there.
by Pat Phillips - Greycat Sound
Liam is a remarkably gifted musician, song writer, and producer. His wide range of instrumental virtuosity and depth of knowledge across MANY genres and styles make him a high valued producer by any measure. His ability to work in and out of the box allows him to shape the sounds that his clients desire. Adding patience and strict attention to detail, Liam fits well on either side of the glass and will ensure a successful and satisfying outcome of any project. He comes with my highest recommendation.

Really great guy! I went to school with him, and had him work on some projects of mine. Liam really knows his stuff.

Interview with Liam Ravita

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I grew up playing many different instruments including trumpet, piano, and guitar. In high school, I taught myself the basics of recording and producing music within a DAW, and eventually went to college to study Audio Engineering at the University of Alabama. During my 4 years there I played in several bands that performed every weekend as a guitarist/singer/bassist, worked on live production teams, studied under mentors in professional recording studios, and wrote many songs. Currently I study Music Production at Georgia State University in Atlanta.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio is setup with the control desk in the live room for better communication/collaboration. I use Pro Tools with a Scarlett 18i20 Interface linked to a Scarlett OctoPre for 16 total channels of analog inputs. Large collection of mics notably including a Neumann TLM 103 and a full drum mic set. Equipped with electric guitars, acoustics, electric bass, acoustic drums, amps, upright piano, and Kronos keyboard.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I worked with the indie rock band Junkyard Cat as a tracking engineer and co-producer for their debut EP 'Where To Start/By Name/More Than Just Friends'. Since it's release in 2023, it has accumulated over 50,000 streams on Spotify and facilitated the bands rise in the Houston indie scene.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm finishing up mixing a 4 song EP for singer-songwriter Nick Kalra that will be released next month. I'm also co-producing for a local country artist Trevor Meadows.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love the tedious intricacy of mixing a song to bring out all the incredible tones and musicianship that exist in a raw, unrefined shape. Mixing a song is like polishing silver or cutting a diamond. I also love collaborating with artists creatively in production and recording.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Horns and strings make everything better!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mostly bands and songwriters of indie rock, indie pop, and indie folk.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am constantly inspired by Jack Antonoff's production work in blending indie, pop, and rock together with the artists Clairo, The 1975, Lorde, Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Rey, Florence + the Machine, and Taylor Swift. Very big fan of the composition and production of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen in Steely Dan, and all of Quincy Jones' career.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of my work is mixing/mastering remotely and producing/recording in my home studio.
