About the Event
An evening with Darío Peñaloza, audio engineer, author and winner of two Latin Grammy awards
His book which has the foreword by Cesar Lamschtein and was officially released in September 2020 by the prestigious monitor brand Genelec, under the framework of the Latin American Conference of the Audio Engineering Society “LAC 2020” that was held virtually in Rio de Janeiro.
“These pages distill the authenticity of this being of light, who is very good for “greet and not mistreat”. No matter how many years of professional experience you readers have, it will be impossible for you not to recognize yourself in many of the situations that Darío describes in a simple, plain and easy to read way. You will also have the privilege of being able to learn from the abundant certainly simple tips, but not trivial at all that Darío gives us so generously, as well as from the many anecdotes that run through this book, becoming lessons that are treasured for life.”
“This writing should not be confused with a self-help book or a solemn treatise on morals and good customs applied to audio. Reading this book will not only make you reflect but also laugh and without a doubt, it will also make your mixes sound better.”
