\n\t\"Icon<\/a>Congratulations to the winner of the Pro Tools Expert competition to win an Icon Platform M+ control surface and D2 Display
\n<\/h3>\n

\n\tAt the end of 2017, we ran a competition in association with music production gurus Pro Tools Expert<\/a>, giving visitors to their music production website the chance to win an Icon Platform M+<\/a>. And we're pleased to announce the winner is <\/span>Ian Heginbotham of Telford in Shropshire!<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHaving spent some time with his new controller, Ian was kind enough to give us his thoughts on recording with his new Platform M+. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIan says "I received the Icon Platform M+ within a few days of the announcement that I’d won the Pro Tools Expert Christmas competition and really couldn’t be happier. I’ve been mixing in the box with just a mouse for a long time and the difference of being able to use faders in real time when writing automation is massive."<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"I’ve been a musician on and off for over thirty years and am currently working on 2 albums for bands I’m in and another for someone else’s band, as a producer and mixer. This small DAW controller is going to make (and already has made) a huge difference to my workflow. It fits easily on to my desk and took about 2 minutes to set-up."<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"I’ve rarely been surprised as much as I have been by this piece of gear. Very happy competition winner here." \ud83d\ude0a<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
