EDIT: this is only true for 64bit! I'm sure I read somewhere there is no longer mp4 support (or whatever it is iTunes and other encoders put in the mp4 wrapper). There was in Live 8 (I can open my Live 8 and drag and drop like you say) but not in Live 9. It is a bit of a pain in the arse to be hones...

Hopefully this post will help a few people on here... I hardly ever manage to get everything done that I want each week, especially making tunes. So as part of research for the blog and the book we contacted a productivity expert (and read a few books on the matter too). Here's a short post with som...

We have a lot to thank Eno for over the years. I love watching interviews with him. I think it does run deeper than the article suggests, especially if you move out of EDM. We often consider greatness purely in terms of how to appeal and provide something of value to others. But some producers reall...

Hi everyone, Thought you might appreciate this - a little article on what makes a great producer (it clearly isn't dress sense in most cases!). With a bit of chat from Max Cooper, Paul Woolford and Above & Beyond's Jono... Over at Lost In Musik... http://www.lostinmusik.net/?p=2531 Hope you like...

How did you do this really kick ass website? Ah thanks man, took me quite a while to get that working :) - we didnt want a cheap-ass website like you see for some other books, felt like that should represent the time and effort that went into the book. The site is done in Fireworks and Dreamweaver ...

in the time since you've posted this it's already out of date. repeat after me... "would you like fries with that?" Hopefully not. We stayed away with trends, gimmicks and short-lived cheese to favour the long-term game, making something that will appeal to others while still staying true...

Hi everyone, thought this would be of interest to fellow Abletoners! Over the past couple of years we've been planning, researching, interviewing and finally writing a book on how to make it in the music industry. This is pretty much the world's first guide to building success in the music industry ...

Hi everyone,

Here's an interview I did with Steve Helstrip (aka The Thrillseekers) asking him about his career, best gigs, and when he produces his best music. Thought the DJs and producers out there might enjoy this. He's a top guy.

There's a conference for music producers looking to make it in the industry that looks pretty good. Talking about branding, business and marketing as well as the music production side of things. We had a chat with the guys running it to find out what it's all about and why it's £140 well spent... ht...

Something for us all to forward to our family and girlfriends in case they've not got our prezzies yet!

Hi guys, This is a short piece over on Lost In Musik about how to get your music heard. We had a good chat with Michael Woods at IMS Ibiza, proper sound guy and got some serious talent - whether you like the music or not, to have done trance, house, prog, AND have had a UK number 1 this year has got...

Thanks for the love everyone, really glad everyone has got something out of this, we'll be doing more of these in the future!

Have a great weekend

everything is a statement. I don't understand the value of the advice beyond - if you don't believe in your music why are you bothering to make it. the author should find some examples of tracks that aren't statements. alternatively they should explain what they mean. thanks for sharing, but I don'...

Hello!

A little nugget of info for the music makers out there to think about, happy fridays to everyone!

Hi guys, You might have already seen this Henrik Schwarz interview on RA but here's a short article about the value of the live performance with the Schwarz interview and a vid of the killer visuals from Eric Prydz's EPIC show from Alexandra Palace this weekend. Anyone else got to see his show yet? ...
