Stephen M. says, "There's some people that are gear geeks and have the best equipment money can buy, but they just. don't. have. the. mojo. to pull off what you need.
Ric isn't one of them.
He's got great gear mind you (and he can geek out with the best of them), and one of the best studio atmospheres at the Monastery (it feels so good you don't want to leave). But more importantly, Ric knows the signal chain really well. That everything starts with the best performance, then instruments, then equipment.
One classic Ric moment was when I asked him what he did to to a certain compressor that made the guitar part sound so rad and he replied, "I don't know... I just turned knobs until it sounded good." He's a wizard with the knobs and he'll make you sound really good.
You can trust Ric with your vision. I highly recommend paying him a visit and hearing his passion for music."See more
