Richard Humphries
Founder, Sound Designer and Re-recording Mixer
Award winning Sound Editor, Designer and Re-recording mixer, Richard Humphries, has been mixing documentaries and commercials since 1992. Previous to opening Takoma Park Media Group, he was a senior mixer and sound designer for The Discovery Channel.
Audio has been Richard’s passion from an early age; inspired by accompanying his father, a pianist and conductor, to his recording sessions at Sound 80 in Minneapolis, MN. He took his first audio course in Sound Synthesis from the Milwaukee Conservatory of Music at the age of 13. He considers himself lucky to have always known what he wanted to do as a career.
In addition to working with audio, Richard considers himself a lifelong learner and tinkerer. He has studied electronics, woodworking, oil painting, foreign languages, 3D printing, and more. He enjoys travelling, has bicycled from Washington DC to Pittsburgh, and always has a recorder with him to capture that unexpected unusual sound for his library.
