My surround room is up and running! Let me mix your Film or TV show. Please view my Post Production page for examples of my work. I am running a Pro Tools HD3 system, complete with the Control24 control surface, Genelec 5.1 surround monitoring and 24 channels of Apogee Rosetta 800 all re-clocked off a Apogee Big Ben master clock. Most all of my plugins are TDM. I own the Waves Diamond Bundle, Waves 360 surround bundle with Dorrough Meters, Izotope RX bundle, Focusrite TDM, Melodyne, Access Virus with the Virus Ti hardware keyboard, TC Electronics Reverb and a few other small free plugins. I also have a extensive sound library for doing sound design for films. I am using Sound Miner and Snapper to manage my SFX library. I have already mixed 3 shorts, 1 feature and countless music projects in the room.

I am currently upgrading my studio over the winter to a 5.1 Pro Tools HD facility. When done I will be able to accommodate 5.1 video and 5.1 audio projects. More to come on this soon!!

Being in charge of the Audio for 188 different countries is a large resposibility. I had a taste of that working for All Mobil Video at this years US Open. I also had the pleasure of working with Producers Dane Scott and Tim Coakley and engineer Steve Watson at the American Express Radio show. We counted this year and there were 1.5 million lines of audio run for the US Open this year. ouch my aching back!

I recently reunited with SimplexGrinnell a division of Tyco International to oversee the installtion of a new state of the art sound system at Roosevelt M.S. The system has 16 channels of wireless microphones, 15,000 watts of power, a 48 channel Allen and Heath console located in a custom audio control room built by me. I also did all of the wire terminations on stage and in the amp rack. Big Job!

It has been a long time coming (6 months) but the Album is done. Check out www.myspace.com/ritmocollective for audio samples. The whole process from recording to mixing was done at an inspiring setting in a lakehouse studio in Waccabuc NY. I moved all of my gear into the graciously donated space for the winter of 2008. It was the best “work environment” for an album like this I could imagine. Beautiful view from the console across a lake, great sounding room, and the most enjoyable cast of musicians I have worked with in a long time. Fantastic! Listen to it and enjoy.

For the month of August and the begining of September I will be one of two audio engieers at the US Tennis Open in Queens mixing the American Express Show. This show will be broadcast everday from the US Tennis center in New York City.

I do a lot of different things with audio but this was a first for me. I was the A2 for Howard Sterns “bowling beauties” and a month later the A1 audio engineer for the “Wackpack Bowling”. You can view and hear both on Howard TV on demand. Fun fun gig.

I recently was the A1 audio engineer for the prerecorded content for this years Tony Awards hosted by Whoopie Goldberg. I had the honor of recording the cast on Broadway NY of Phantom of the Opera, Spamalot, and Spring Awakening over the span of a week.

I recently wrapped up the post production work on TruTV’s new primetime show, Party Heat. It was a 48 track Protools session. Here is a small sample:
