About

I am Eric McKinney, a professional audio engineer and producer with over 30 years of experience in editing, mixing, mastering, and audio repair. Based near Austin, Texas, the live music capital of the world, I have worked extensively with Texas artists and session players, providing audio services for various media including educational projects, music videos, and interactive game apps. I also specialize in sound design and music composition, collaborating with many talented musicians and artists.

In addition to my technical skills, I co-own a studio and artist service company (Wonderland Studios, Texas Time Artist Services). My roles span from audio to production to artist consulting and management to social media management and SEO strategy for musicians and bands. I’ve toured as lead guitarist and contributed to numerous highly praised albums and projects (some #1 on TX Charts), while mentoring up-and-coming artists and some audio engineers through internships and maintaining a strong presence in the Austin creative community.
