Randall L. Squires
Randall L. Squires is a seasoned audio engineer, producer, mastering specialist, and live sound engineer whose career spans more than two decades across studio and stage.
Based in Buda, Texas, he is the founder of StillMastering.com and RLS Audio, LLC, and serves as a Front-of-House engineer for Conspirare, Roomful of Teeth, and Nomad Sound.
An alumnus of Berklee College of Music, Randall grew up immersed in performance, studying and playing violin, cello, French horn, double bass, and electric bass. That multi-instrumental foundation informs his deeply musical approach to engineering — whether shaping a studio recording or balancing a live ensemble in a concert hall.
Randall’s studio credits include Grammy recognized and Grammy winning projects include Roomful of Teeth “Rough Magic”, Winner; 2024 Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance (Recording Engineer, Mastering Engineer), Conspirare “House of Belonging”; Nominated for 2024 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance (Producer, Engineer), and “Advena: liturgies for a broken world”; Nominated for 2026 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance (Producer, Engineer).
In addition to his studio discography, Randall has mixed performances on major international stages, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center (NYC Ballet, NY Phil), The Barbican, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Symphony Hall Boston, and many more. He has engineered and mixed concerts throughout Europe,The United States, and Australia bringing the same musical sensitivity and technical precision from the recording studio to the live stage.
His engineering lineage is deeply rooted in family tradition. His father, Gregory K. Squires , former Principal Horn of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra under Lukas Foss and Producer/Engineer for artists including Peggy Lee, Benny Carter, Dick Hyman, Robert Craft, the London Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Luke’s, Lou Harrison - instilled in him a producer’s ear for sonic detail, space and consistency, as well as the Decca recording tradition. From his mother, oboist Phyllis L. Squires (Phyllis Lanini), he also inherited a performer’s understanding of phrasing, breath, and nuance shaped through her orchestral and chamber music career. She was also the originator of his editing notation system.
Whether in the control room or at front-of-house in an international concert hall, Randall’s work reflects a rare blend of musician-first listening, technical rigor, and unwavering commitment to artistic intent.
