pureMix: We asked eight A-list engineers "What was the first "pro" piece of gear you bought and how did it change your life?"

It was a lot of work but I recorded a lot of albums on it. My VERY first piece of recording gear was a four channel Altec mixer, A U87 and a Sony 2 track that I used to record a bunch of bluegrass records.
