Some of you have waited with fingers crossed for a while to see if you were one of the lucky ones who won in the AskAudio $103K Music Gear Contest. Here's the winners and their cool reaction videos!

It was MASSIVE. Probably the biggest music gear contest in the history of our industry with over $103,000 worth of pro audio hardware and software, from Ableton to Roland, Arturia to Yamaha, Korg to Steinberg, Elektron to Moog Music, Sample Logic to Native Instruments... in fact, with gear from over 63 brands.

If you were one of the 30,000+ that entered we want to thank you for completing the survey too. This information is crucial in helping large and small music gear makers decide on the direction of future products. The music making community thanks you!
