5 stars, good at what he does and works with you to get your vision.
by Lyons
It's tough to find an engineer / producer who is able to musically articulate an artist's vision. Ramsey's abilities extend in multiple directions. He effortlessly blends with many genres and styles while not only maintaining the artist's integrity, but enhancing their sound in the process. Ram is a special creative. Whether you need mixing, mastering, or original production, Ram is your guy.
by Chad Taylor
He engineered a couple songs for me. They all came out phenomenal and the turn around time was quick. I'm looking forward to working on future projects together!
by Joe W.
I purchased 9 instrumentals from Ramsey for a side project I had been working on. I was impressed with his mixes, so I actually went back to Ramsey to engineer my vocals and later master my full album. He is capable tactically, but also approaches problems in a creative way. Working with Ramsey is fluid & he can really add to a project in a way that makes him stand out amongst other engineers.
