Anderson Peñaloza on SoundBetter

An audio mixing and mastering engineer with six years of experience in Rock and Metal genres, Americana, and Country. I will make your recordings unleash their full potential.

Playing my main instrument, the guitar, since 2012, I've always been curious about how an idea transforms into a project and then into a final product. I wanted to understand the production process, recording, and the intricacies of mixing and mastering every sound and detail of a piece of work. This curiosity led me to make a decision in 2017 to purchase my first audio interface, which allowed me to create my initial productions.

After recording with my band and experimenting with fellow artists, I decided to offer my services locally, which opened up opportunities in the field of production in the city of Cúcuta.

Today, I am pursuing formal education as an Audio Engineer and Music Producer at the Argentine University INARTEC. I've also started my own brand, TM Bald Eagle Comp, which is a recording studio and live sound service provider. We are known for our professional services.

My lifelong passion for video games began at age 6, starting with "Mortal Kombat 4" and deepening with "Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks." This love for gaming and its artistry has driven my desire to join a game development studio, aligning with my true passion.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
