10 years ago this year Russ Hughes started the AIR Users blog, which morphed into Pro Tools Expert in 2012. To celebrate our 10-year anniversary we ran a competition with a Pro Audio gear and software prize pot worth over $30,000. One of the prizes was a bundle from our friends at e-instruments.

The competition closed on December 31st 2018 and we can announce that the winner is Nick Moses

“Hey, thank you so much! This will help me create some great music!

I've been interested in music since I was a child, when I was around 12 I started making dubstep type music on a terrible online loop maker. At the age of 18, my love of music in all genres peaked and I started studying Sound Production in University. I'm 20 now and still studying but I get on ProTools every day to try and create new music! When I finish my college course I'm hopeful to move into a recording studio, whether that's freelance or with a studio near me we'll have to see! Thank you very much, this means a lot to me as a music producer!”
