Ryan West reveals why his Dangerous gear lets him do what he likes to do with better results for artists such as Jay Z, Eminem, Rihanna, Usher, T.I., Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent.

“My own mobile rig is a Apollo Quad and Dangerous D-Box…it’s a pretty simple setup, two rack spaces—which is amazing for what it does—it doesn’t impart a big fat sonic footprint on the audio, what it does is increase my ability to open up the sound and let it bloom with enough headroom for punch, clarity, depth, separation, and width. The D-to-A converter on the D-Box is world-changing.”

Ryan West has engineered at top New York studios including Stadiumred Studios NYC, SoHo Studios, and Baseline Recording Studios, cranking out hit after hit for today’s top artists. And gear matters to him too, “The more that I can hear, the more that I can control when mixing. That’s Crucial. When you are adjusting wonderful reverbs and delays and small sounds that can cause excitement in a mix without being in your face…having the sort of detail I can hear in the Dangerous converters is huge to me.”

As an accomplished engineer and producer in a variety of musical genres, Ryan is best known for chart-topping Hip-Hop and R&B mixes for today’s top artists such as Rihanna, Eminem, Jay Z, T.I., Usher, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and many more. His mixes for artists have reached 19 Gold, 10 Platinum, 5 Multi-Platinum, and 1 Diamond RIAA album awards levels. He was nominated for the prestigious Album of the Year Grammy in 2004 for Usher's “Confessions,” and again in 2011 for Eminem's “Recovery.”
