Drake Sobehrad
I am an audio engineer with over seven years of experience as owner and operator of a recording studio in Lincoln, Nebraska. I have tracked, mixed, produced, and mastered everything from hip-hop and R&B to noise metal and books on tape, giving me a vast breadth of recording experience to share with my customers. I have also enjoyed consulting and helping many clients design, set up, and understand how to operate their own recording solutions. Whatever the project, I love helping creators find the gear they need to get the results they desire. I am a saxophone player and make my own music, as well, so I am always practicing and experimenting with new gear and software.
I look forward to sharing the musical journey with my customers. At Sweetwater, I look forward to using my experience, knowledge, and excitement for all things music to help others reach their goals and make the sounds they dream of.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Why did you first apply for a job at Sweetwater?
I have made music the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I cannot imagine doing anything with my time that does not have music as its focus. When I started my studio, I purchased everything through Sweetwater, and the amazing customer service and personalized support made my life easier and helped me advance my career. As a next step, I figured that I would join the expert team that helped me so that I could help others, as well.

Absolutely amazed by the personal service on our order! It is obvious customer satisfaction is a priority. Your company would be the first place we would look for music related items. Great prices, great service and BTW, even the little touch of adding some candy made my kids very pleased! Thank you!
