I have access to a studio with more substantial equipment, including ProTools software.

Having been in sales for the last 20+ years, I am experienced at perceiving the customer's intent and point of view, whether with regard to their current or future needs, concerns or complaints. This skill has also helped me to interpret the point-of-view of the clients for whom I've worked thus far.
