Also a big thanks to the sponsors of this series: Antelope Audio, AMS Neve, Golden Age Premiere, Stam Audio, Audient.
I must emphasize that all the sponsored gear came from me contacting the makers of it, asking them to provide it. This is the gear I wanted to use and I knew the gear from before. No sponsor dictated what I could or couldn't do, say or don't say, iwhen it came to the use of it.
