Ron Hitchcock – LA Music Mixer
It’s true that in music mixing “up is louder”... But making things somewhat more interesting, mixing music tracks are infinitely variable.
I have had the honor and pleasure of working with extremely
talented artists, writers and musicians. My professional career began in radio
broadcast, programming and then mastering - cutting LP lacquer masters at The Mastering Lab in Hollywood, prior to mixing for
over 40 years. I carry an abnormal amount of “quality” baggage since Doug Sax
(RIP) instilled in me that only your finest effort matters.
Musical expression is serious work, but hit records are quite
frankly another journey designed to inspire repeated play, purchase and
memories that span decades. With each mix I paint pictures that support the
lyric and melody, and promotes a unique and lasting artist image.
I’ve used just about every piece of studio gear - a never-ending quest. I mix on large format analog boards like Trident, Neve, SSL, and my favorite the API, as well as most digital audio work surfaces, Pro Tools and Reaper being my DAWs of choice. I am proud of a Grammy nomination for Harry James, a “direct-to-disk” live recording for Sheffield Lab Records. And I’ve earned numerous RIAA certified Gold and Platinum records, as well as Golden Reel awards for film re-recording (mixing).
I’ve produced, recorded, mixed, edited and mastered for some truly
amazing talents: Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand, Toto, George Benson, Harry
James, Booker T. Jones, Melissa Manchester, Kris Kristofferson and even The
Dickies.
Digital World
Perhaps digital's best quality is its recall ability. I can
build a mix over time and return in moments making revisions fast and predictably.
Analog Heart
I draw on many years of putting together records working with leading artists and producers, but I’m always looking for new talent offering friendly independent rates to help in your quest for success. I put the same energy, attention and dedication into every project with an ear on the-end-result - a great record that the artist and all involved can be most proud.
Out-of-Area Clients
The Internet makes it possible for us to work together keeping your involvement from anywhere in the world. If you need a new vocal performance, a lyric change, or are inspired to replace that guitar solo, just upload a .wav file. Perhaps you need to replace a kick drum? I have an extensive sample library. Maybe you want to add a string part that really takes the chorus to the next level. I can recommend Nashville’s and Hollywood’s finest arrangers and studio players, even members of The Wrecking Crew. Just ask..!
