Hi, I'm Tristin Shaddon - a musician, guitarist, and audio engineer based in Colorado. I graduated from the LA Film school in October 2025 with an Associates of Science in Audio Production, where I trained in mixing, mastering, sound design, live sound, and post-production for music and media.
From the first time I picked up a guitar, I knew sound was more than something to just hear - it's something to shape. That idea drives everything I do, whether I'm dialing in tones for a track, sculpting frequencies in a mix, or bringing clarity and emotion to client's project.
As an engineer, I take pride in precision, depth, and musical feel. I've worked across sessions involving music production, podcast mixing, and sound restoration, combining technical knowledge with a creative ear to deliver mixes that truly translate. My goal is always the same - to make sound connect with people on a deeper level.
I'm passionate about helping artists, creators, and brands tell their stories through sound - whether it's producing a soulful guitar track, engineering a crystal-clear podcast, or shaping immersive audio for film. Every project is a chance to turn raw sound into something powerful, emotional, and unforgettable!
