No is that i was expecting.
Very desapoinment, why Phil don’t tell us that is using the most expensive plugin, also why he did not gave us the tracks files to follow him. Too expensive for difficult mixing song with to complicated plugins. The song is amazing. Please next time more information, 50 dollars to the trash.

Helpful, but.
I haven't finished the series yet, but I'm enjoying the tutorials and learning a lot. I was hoping Phil would use more plugins that are included with Pro Tools (truly in the box). I feel like with every segment, I need to buy another plugin to achieve the result.
