Customer Reviews
Bomb AS Frick
Free Ableton Live gems - one of the best resources for producers in podcast form. Thanks for all the inspiration D. Geffski!
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.
Yes!
Just got ableton live and love this podcast. Tons of great information from production tips to interviews/new technology etc!
