Available to hire
Hi, I’m Rick; a freelance audio engineer and musician originally from Chicago, IL, now living in Colorado Springs, CO with my wife and daughter. I’ve always been passionate about all things audio and have carved out a niche helping others achieve top-notch production. I prioritize being responsive, efficient, and building strong client-producer relationships.
I have experience recording, producing, mixing, and mastering music for musicians and bands, as well as editing podcasts and audiobooks. I also work as a session musician playing various instruments, and I enjoy composing arrangements and creating sample packs.
