Anthony Longano
Hi! My name is Anthony Longano, and I am happy to be your personal Sales Engineer here at Sweetwater. I take my position quite seriously, and I consider it a great honor to be working for you. I strive to be different than your typical “Sales Guy” because I actually hate salespeople. My goal is to answer all your questions and get you what you need the first time. As a previous touring musician, underground studio owner, and professional audio engineer, I am more than happy to share my experience in order to help you make the right purchase. You are more than welcome to contact me at any time.
I am mainly a mixing and mastering engineer (mostly in the metal genre), but I also specialize in higher-end studio builds, acoustic treatment, patchbays, large-format consoles, and live sound rigs.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Interview with Anthony...

Anthony Longano is my sales engineer, and he, as usual, did a fantastic job advising me over multiple phone chats about different gear options for my needs. Ever patient, he withstood all my interrogation with great aplomb. He's a very valuable member to any team. Great work, Anthony!

Anthony Longano was very pleasant and did a great job. Thanks for running a great business and I pray that God continues to bless your business and hard work. I placed an order for a small item a week or so ago and the service I received needs to be acknowledged. It was fantastic! You would have thought I spent a thousand dollars or more. Great customer service is always difficult to achieve because every person has to buy into the philosophy that no one is going to be better [in our industry] than we are at customer service, and if I was a betting person, I would bet that that is your philosophy. It was' five minutes after I placed my order that I got a phone call to confirm and thank me for placing the order. Very professional and not pushy. huge points!

Anthony is always a first class gentleman! He never tries to sell me something cheaper, because it’s something I can afford... he gives me options, pros and cons... and doesn’t pressure me to just buy something... sometimes I waste 20 minutes of his time, figuring out my best options... and sometimes it’s a few months before I can afford what my now educated self needs... that being said... I always come back for it when I can afford it... there is nothing I appreciate more in life than honesty and integrity... in my humble opinion, Anthony and Sweetwater both represent those values well!!! Thank you!

If I could give Anthony a 12 I would. Over the years he has consistently provided solid advice. My experience with Anthony is that he really understands me and my tonal preferences. As such, I sometimes plan to purchase one item and he will guide me to something else that better suits what I'm trying to achieve.

Anthony Longano was my introduction to Sweetwater, and has been fantastic to work with. Of course Sweetwater has a great buisness model, but Anthony is the reason I use Sweetwater as my number one place to shop.
