Ryan Andersen is a Canadian record producer, mixer, and engineer, who works in both music and film and television.

Ryan began working in the music industry in 1999 as a runner at Bryan Adams’ recording facility, The Warehouse Studio, in downtown Vancouver, BC.  There he apprenticed under producers such as Don Gilmore (Linkin Park), Gggarth Richardson (Pacifier, Mudvayne), Bob Clearmountain (Bryan Adams), Mike Fraser (AC/DC) and under mix engineers such as Randy Staub and Mike Plotnikoff.  

In 2001, Ryan began work as an Engineer/Editor with close friend and producer Joey Moi. They recorded Theory of a Deadman’s debut album with producer Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), which subsequently led to work on a number of other notable Canadian projects including Default, Ian Thornley, Chad’s song “Hero” for the Spider-Man soundtrack, and two Nickelback albums; “The Long Road” and “All the Right Reasons”.  “All the Right Reasons” recently achieved Diamond status in album sales (10 million units worldwide). Ryan also worked alongside Seattle based producer Rick Parashar (Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog, Blind Melon), contributing his editing and engineering expertise on U.P.O.'s sophomore release entitled “The Heavy”, as well as Outspoken's debut album. 

In 2011, Ryan was asked to be involved in the implementation of Saskatchewan's first audio engineering program at a new arts and technology school, The Recording Arts Institute of Saskatoon (RAIS).  There, he teaches everything from signal flow and electronics to digital editing, music production, synthesis, midi, surround mixing for film, and mastering. Since opening, the school has developed a more comprehensive audio/visual curriculum, offering additional programs in film production, 3D graphics, and game design.

Ryan has worked as a freelance sound designer for the television and film industry.  Among the notables: Dialogue recording for Electronic Arts’ video games “Need for Speed” and “Fight Night”, creating the soundscape for a BBC series from the creators of “Ren and Stimpy” called “Aaagh! It’s the Mr Hell Show!”. More recently, Ryan was the lead sound designer and re-recording mixer for the dark comedy feature film “Welcome to Kittytown” which was mixed for theatrical release in 5.1 surround in 2022.

Ryan owns and operates a mixing room and small production facility in Saskatoon, SK, which has been in operation for over 15 years.
