Free Ableton Live gems - one of the best resources for producers in podcast form. Thanks for all the inspiration D. Geffski!

Ihearttwat ,

Dan G, the chillest emcee, is the man you should see

The podcast rules. It’s got some nerdy bits for Ableton users, but 96% of it is good for any musician. Great chats with music-makers who are making it happen. Dan is a great interviewer.

Started with the podcast, joined the Facebook group, the live session group, and Discord. I got a sick discount in Ableton Live Suite from his website. I highly recommend you check out what this guy is up to.

Johnny Opus ,

Yes!
