Alejandro Cabrera is a composer, musician, sound engineer, audio software developer, and the founder of
Audio Brewers
,
a company pioneering professional immersive audio software and plugins that work
natively in Ambisonics. His work focuses on making spatial audio production intuitive,
efficient, and speaker-independent for sound engineers, producers, composers, and
content creators.
With studies in Jazz Composition and Orchestration, Alejandro transitioned into
Audio Engineering (BSc) and Sound Design (MSc) to focus on the development of
professional audio software. Throughout his career, he has contributed to more than
100 AAA sample libraries and was part of the development team behind the
Sequential Prophet X/XL.
In 2019, Alejandro founded Audio Brewers with the vision of bringing the power of
Ambisonics into everyday production workflows. Today, the company develops a complete
ecosystem of immersive audio plugins and production tools, including creative effects,
equalisation, dynamics processing, encoding, decoding, beamforming, analysis,
visualisation, recording, and mixing solutions for spatial audio.
Among his technical achievements are the development of a lossless Ambisonics
processing algorithm, an extremely efficient beamforming engine, a highly acclaimed
7th-order Ambisonics (7OA) upscaler, and a new generation of three-dimensional audio
tools including equalisation, compression, limiting, rotation, visualisation,
recording, and creative effects such as delays, chorus, phaser, pitch shifting,
stutter, and reverberation.
Audio Brewers products process audio natively in Higher-Order Ambisonics, making them
compatible with virtually every audio format and loudspeaker configuration, including
Stereo, Surround, Dolby Atmos, Eclipsa Audio
(Google and Samsung's IAMF-based immersive audio format), ASAF
(Apple Spatial Audio Format), and completely custom speaker arrays.
In 2025, Alejandro showcased Audio Brewers' latest immersive audio technologies at
'Dissolve Music @ MIT, 2025'.
Most recently, Alejandro expanded Audio Brewers into mobile immersive audio production
with 'ab Recorder', enabling lossless First-Order Ambisonics recording
and synchronized 4K video capture directly on iPhone, bringing professional spatial
audio recording into a portable workflow.
