Professional Endorsement

"During the recording of Supernatural and Shaman, we [the Santana Band] traveled to dozens of great studios and worked with a long list of top producers and engineers...Pro Tools was used in almost every case.

I've known Ken for years and years now, and this guy definitely knows Pro Tools like nobody else I've met or worked with. But even better is that he knows how to explain all this stuff and make it easy to understand."
