Ricardo Wheelock
Ricardo Wheelock (Moses Sumney, Nick Hakim, SOAP, Shndō, Rigoazulado, Daniela Arredondo ...) is an Emmy nominated composer, recording, and mixing engineer from Nicaragua but based in Mexico. Because of his constant traveling he became one of the first mixing engineers who transitioned from mixing on monitors to mixing only on headphones. His simple yet unique mixing style comes from developing his own techniques combined with what he learned directly from great mixing engineers like Tom Elmhirst, Mick Guzauski, Rafa Sardina and Ken Andrews.
He is also passionate about teaching and sharing his knowledge, he became the first Pro Tools Expert 310M in Central America, he is also the only Apple Certified Trainer for Logic Pro in Central America and the official Steinberg Trainer for Nicaragua. He has taught master classes in Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Chile.
Favorite PSP plug-ins:
PSP VintageWarmer2: "I am old enough to remember this was the first plugin we were like; "this is a plugin that actually sounds really good!" and this happened in a time when plugins got a lot of hate from the analog heads. Still to this date I love how it sounds!"
PSP BinAmp: "I just love the signature sound PSP plugins have for distortion / saturation, when I heard this for the first time and tried it on a bass parallel and it was an instant keeper."
PSP L'otary2: "I heard about this plugins from an A list mixer who passed the tip, it's really special on background vocals, guitars and keyboards, when I need some movement this is my cup of tea!"
PSP Nexcellence: "I just love spring reverbs, I still own 4 of the real ones, and this gives the flavor of a true rarity in the spring world. It's a one trick pony, but when it works it's just magic!"
