Alberto Rosado-Perez
Alberto Rosado-Perez
My name is Alberto Rosado. I've spent the last 20+ years of my life learning how to be the most complete music industry professional. After falling in love with music, I pursued my undergrad degree in music performance and a master's degree in music business. I've learned a lot throughout my years of touring and performing in the most diverse settings and stages. As an Air Force and civilian musician, I've performed all over Asia and even the Middle East. This experience has allowed me to experiment with and learn about all kinds of music gear in order to achieve desired results and to better serve my customers.
I've always been committed to excellence and constant improvement, whether it be as a musician myself or helping other musicians reach their goals. This is one of the main reasons I became a part of the Sweetwater team: they've proven to be a place full of experts who facilitate music making for musicians! My main areas of expertise are live sound, guitar, bass, home/studio recording, and the House of Worship market. Having worked closely with churches and worship teams of all sizes and in different countries, I understand the unique challenges that come with delivering a powerful, clear, and consistent audio experience in a worship environment — from small congregations to large production setups. The extensive training Sweetwater offers its Sales Engineers allows me to combine this with a solid understanding of all other equipment we sell. I look forward to serving you!

Mi nombre es Alberto Rosado. He dedicado los últimos 20+ años de mi vida convirtiéndome en el profesional más completo qu puedo ser dentro de la industria musical. Tras enamorarme de la música, obtuve mi bachillerato en interpretación musical y una maestría en negocios de la música. He aprendido muchísimo a lo largo de mis años de giras y ejecución en los escenarios y entornos más diversos. Como músico de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos (USAF), llegué incluso a ejecutar en por todo Asia y Oriente Medio. Esta experiencia me ha permitido experimentar con todo tipo de equipos musicales —y aprender sobre ellos— con el fin de lograr los resultados deseados y brindar un mejor servicio a mis clientes.
Siempre he estado comprometido con la excelencia y la mejora continua, ya sea en mi faceta como músico o ayudando a otros músicos a alcanzar sus objetivos. Esta es una de las razones principales por las que me uní al equipo de Sweetwater: ¡han demostrado ser un lugar repleto de expertos que facilitan el proceso de creación musical para los artistas! Mis principales áreas de especialización son el sonido en vivo, la guitarra, el bajo, la grabación de estudio, y el mercado de las Casas de Adoración. Habiendo trabajado estrechamente con iglesias y equipos de alabanza de todos los tamaños y en diferentes países, comprendo los desafíos únicos que conlleva ofrecer una experiencia de audio potente, clara y consistente en un entorno de adoración, desde pequeñas congregaciones hasta grandes montajes de producción. La exhaustiva capacitación que Sweetwater ofrece a sus Ingenieros de Ventas me permite combinar esta experiencia con un sólido conocimiento de todos los demás equipos que comercializamos. ¡Espero tener la oportunidad de servirle!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Interview with Alberto...

Alberto is the best! He's responsive and he listens to what I need. Then he always follows up to make sure everything went well with the delivery and with what I bought. Can't recommend Alberto highly enough!!!

Not only is Alberto considerate, and warm, he's also been extremely helpful as a guide to someone like me who is a novice when it comes to a lot the gear related stuff. I could go to him with as vague a question as I would want, and he would happily dedicate time trying to resolve it for me, and search for that exact gear/setup that gets me my tone. But it doesn't end there - that's only the start. He makes it a point to follow up and ensure I am happy with the product, and offers other resources online that could make it even better for me.

As always, shopping with sweetwater is always an excellent experience. Specifically with my sales engineer Alberto Rosado Perez. Always courteous, knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions I may have. Always checking whether the shipment was recieved and if I was satisfied with the product. Thanks to all and Alberto. I wouldn't trust or shop anywhere else except Sweetwater for my musical gear. Thanks again

I don’t make a lot of small purchases with Sweetwater, but if you look at my order history every single guitar/bassI’ve bought in the last two years has been through Sweetwater. That is in no small part due to Alberto. Even with this bass purchase he had people reinspect each bass of my choosing until we found in my eyes the best one. Each and every time I order through your company I know Alberto is going to reach out and communicate with me every step of the way to make sure I’m happy with the end result. He’s the best. I love your company, but it’s the people and the personal touch that keeps me as a returning customer. Alberto exemplifies the personal touch, and a willingness to always go the extra mile. If it wasn’t impractical I’d fly to Fort Wayne just to shake his hand and thank him in person for all his help these last few years. Sadly all I can do is sing his praises. He’s the reason I shop with Sweetwater.

Alberto has shown an outstanding knowledge and experience and was able to recommend the most suitable equipment for my needs, if I were to highlight something here, was his patience to listen and understand, thank you Alberto!
