Ricardo B.

Senior Audio Engineer | Podcast, YouTube & Sound Design

Audio Engineer, Sound Designer, and Audiovisual Producer helping creators and media teams achieve dialogue clarity, advanced editing, and professional final delivery across podcasts, film, and digital media, backed by over 25 years of experience. Working closely with creators, producers, and media teams, the focus is on delivering clear, polished results for podcasts, YouTube and digital platforms, short films, and branded content, with particular attention to sound design, advanced editing, audio restoration, and voice intelligibility. Typical projects include advanced dialogue editing, noise and reverb reduction using iZotope RX, creative sound design and foley recording, audio mixing in Pro Tools, and final delivery aligned with professional loudness standards for online distribution. Alongside audiovisual post-production, there is extensive experience in music mixing and mastering, with dozens of albums, EPs, and singles released since the late 1990s across a wide range of musical styles. Music projects are approached with the same technical rigor and artistic sensitivity developed in large recording studios and professional production environments. Acoustic design and consulting services are also available for recording studios, home studios, home theaters, and small audiovisual production spaces, supported by a dedicated specialized profile focused on acoustic design and industry-standard workflows. A strong formal and technical background includes professional training in Audio Engineering at the Audio and Video Institute, Sound Design for Film and TV at ESPM College, a graduate degree in Audiovisual Production, and advanced voice editing training at Berklee College of Music. Professional experience also includes five years at a major broadcast television network and two years as Vice President of Communication at one of Brazil’s largest professional soccer clubs, with direct involvement in large-scale content production, social media deliverables, and broadcast workflows. Deep technical expertise is combined with a refined artistic vision to deliver reliable, high-quality audio solutions tailored to each project’s creative goals, technical requirements, and budget. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your project, ask questions, or request a fixed-price quote. Long-term collaborations and clear communication are always welcome.
