Summary

I hope this find you well. My name is Ryan Dell. Most people call me "Dell". I have been a freelance audio engineer for 15 years. I am an energetic A1 with background working in live as well as studio. I pride myself in being able to make any artist sounds good in any situation, with any console, any PA, and any act. I bring 15 years of industry experience with me to every gig as well as a "happy to be here" attitude. I have mixed everyone from cover bands to Top 40 Artists. As I have gotten older I have been focusing on just taking FOH mixing gigs. I am also a skilled systems tech however mixing is my true talent.
