congratulations mate - well done !

Always nice to read an Ableton Live success story, particularly after that terrible beatboxer guy who could sing about 5 notes in tune in American Idol last year who almost ruined the experience for me

hi guys, just went to WH Smiths, my local boom store, and low and behold there was an ableton magazine, i cant praise ableton enough, its hands down my favourite DAW.

be good if i cud setup a direct debit, do any of you know if this can be done through abletons website

just had the call from dave pearce, was so nervous

Congrats man.

Allright all, ive uploaded the radio interview to

congratulations. Radio 1!!!!!

nice one, if you are a registere member of the prs society (im sure its this one, or perhaps the other one i cant remember) radio 1 pay about 20 quid a minute royalties for your track. worth siging up to collect, im sure you have 3 months to do it.

congrats,

Check out these:

Thes econd one is more relevant. Because of the size of radio 1 they report every song they play to the PRS, and they pay a massive royalty licence to the prs for the rights to play peoples tracks. Back in 2003 when i was at college doing music management course they rate was £19 per minute, so it will be different today, im not sure what it is. Turns out readin the pages above that it costs £100 to jon the prs, but if your track is getting repeat plays then it could be worth it.

it works like this: radio 1 tells the prs it played your track for example 4 minutes, so the prs takes 4 minutes worth of the licence fee and allocates it to you(the member). Then, when royalty payment time comes (i think that its twice a year) you get sent a cheque, minus the admin costs.

there is obviously a bit more to it than that, but essentially that is it. There are probably a few things you need to do in order to join, but the radio1 page listed above is pretty helpful.
