The Story Behind Kraxton Labs

The Story Behind Kraxton Labs

Santiago Cabriles is the founder and lead engineer of Kraxton Labs LLC, with more than 25 years of experience across audio post-production and music. In film and television he works as a re-recording mixer and post-production engineer, delivering for broadcast and cinema. In music he is a recording, mixing and mastering engineer working in stereo, Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio, and he currently delivers immersive mixes for a major record label's Latin catalog. His work spans more than 46 billion streams, according to Muso.AI.

Over those years he watched the tools of the trade transform. Restoration, spectral repair and mixing technology advanced at an extraordinary pace, yet much of the work around them stayed stubbornly manual: preparing dialogue, conforming sessions to new cuts, cleaning and organizing the timeline before the creative work can even begin. That "ant work" still eats days on every project. And no amount of processing power makes up for a foundation that isn't frame-accurate and properly prepared.

Kraxton Labs was founded to close that gap. Its software works where post-production already lives: inside the AAF and inside the DAW. It automates the mechanical passes with deterministic, non-destructive engineering that professionals can verify and trust. Alongside it, the company designs dedicated studio hardware built to the same principle: no compromises in the signal path, and nothing that gets between the engineer and the work. Every Kraxton Labs product starts from the same question: what would a mixer build if they had the time? The goal is to give that time back, so professionals can focus entirely on the art of the mix.
