Description
Chuck Surack, Founder and CEO of Sweetwater Sound, is also a fine musician in his own right. An accomplished saxophonist, he plays a regular schedule with his band Prime Time.

Recording and equipment
I play Selmer Paris Alto, Baritone, and Bass Saxophones. My Tenor is a David Guardala Saxophone. All mouthpieces are Bobby Dukoffs. When recording my sax sings through a Neumann M-149 Microphone. When live I love my Samson Airline wireless.
