"During the recording of Supernatural and Shaman we (the Santana Band) traveled to dozens of great studios and worked with a long list of top Producers and Engineers...Pro Tools was used in almost every case.
I've known Ken for years and years now, and this guy definitely knows ProTools like nobody else I've met or worked with...."
