Hi! I'm Bobby.
I’m Bobby Balow, the creator behind Raytown Productions. I’m a mixing and mastering engineer, educator, plugin developer, and PhD chemist with a passion for helping music creators make records they’re proud of. On the Raytown Productions YouTube channel, I teach practical mixing and mastering techniques for home-studio producers, with a focus on rock, metal, hip-hop, and modern music production. My goal is to make professional audio concepts feel clear, approachable, and immediately useful. Through the Raytown Productions Academy, I offer deeper courses designed to help producers level up their mixes, masters, editing, workflow, and creative decision-making. These courses give you all the tools you need to make better sounding music immediately. My plugins are built around a simple idea: creative tools should solve REAL mixing problems while inspiring bold new sounds. Drawing on both hands-on studio experience and my scientific background, I design plugins that combine practical workflow, state-of-the-art signal processing approaches, and unique creative features to help producers mix faster, stay inspired, and bring their music to life.
