Paul Eckert
Paul Eckert
I was first introduced to music at the age of 8 with a drum practice pad and have been making music ever since. After touring the north of England with my band as a bass guitarist and spending some time in a couple recording studios, I knew that I had to keep music as a focus in my life.
I earned my degree in audio production, where I learned how to engineer and worked at Sterling Productions until I was able to put together a small studio of my own. I've recorded, produced, mixed and mastered a wide variety of music as well as continue to write and record my own.
I discovered Sweetwater in 2010 and was blown away. In 2012 I realized that I had to be a part of the team.
I've worked with Sweetwater in designing and providing support for professional & home recording studios, as well as church sound systems & other sound venues.
I am dedicated to providing you with the experience, knowledge, and support that you will need.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

I wanted to take a moment to share about my experience with Sweetwater in general and Paul Eckert specifically. I was a refugee from another major on-line supplier of musical equipment/gear and was looking for alternatives after a couple really bad experiences there. I ended up on the phone talking to Paul and I've never looked back. I think I've purchased 8 or 10k worth of gear for my studio through Paul in the last 6 months and its been a real pleasure. I always deal directly with Paul and he never fails to give me the best service possible. He is very responsive to questions about different items and never keeps me waiting. He takes an interest not just in what I'm buying, but knows what I'm doing with my studio and band and has been able to recommend items where I wasn't exactly sure what I needed.Purchases are easy, fast, and painless. I pretty much just have to say "I need X" and he takes care of all the rest. Item arrives a couple days later. Every last item has arrived quickly, well packed and in perfect condition, with just the right amount of Bit-O-Honey and Atomic Fireballs included so the folks in the warehouse are no slouches either ;) Paul is my man and Sweetwater is my source :)
