MikeDrop calls in reinforcements from a classical music heavy hitter: Ryan Streber, composer and engineer at Oktaven Audio, one of the leading recording studios for contemporary and classical repertoire. Ryan’s razor-sharp ears, gentle demeanor, and insightful sonic choices have had the Mikes returning time and time again to Oktaven for recording projects, and we were delighted to have some time to turn the microphone the other direction and learn more about Ryan’s life in music. Topics in this mega-episode include:
Ryan’s musical background
Developing home recording studios
Working with difficult artists
Being a gear-head and how to make tech transparent in the studio
Preparing for recording sessions
The importance of curiosity
File management and Ryan as a topic of future dissertations
Starting a record label
How composition informs his work as an engineer and producer
Ryan’s workflow as a “classical” engineer
Vintage microphones and facsimile scores

 
Thank you, Rebecca Moore, for your audio magic!
