Aaron Sterling

“I absolutely love AEA and every mic they have to offer. If you come to my studio, you’ll find the N8 situated right above my head as a mono overhead mic and the R84 next to my desk as an all purpose percussion mic. And the reality is that sometimes these mics end up being responsible for 80% of my entire sound in a track.”
