Tying the notes, bits, odds and ends, is this what I...

unpersonified asked: I've been producing EDM for close to 3 years, and like you I was in Logic for the longest time. Now that I've switched to Ableton, I'm finding that it is a lot easier to produce a full track, but I only have a limited library of my "own" homemade samples.

Anonymous asked: What is the best and easiest software to do megamixes of many songs and have a nice and listenable transition between each tracks?
Anonymous asked: Mixing: The overall sound on your tracks is superb and you said you rarely bother much with mastering so I have to attribute the clarity of your sound to your mixing.

Why is Splinter so different?
The release of Splinter is a little more than one week ago now. There were a lot of great reactions and it immediately made it into the Dubstep Top 10 on Beatport. But at the same time a lot of people were confused. Some longtime followers were sending me emails asking “Why Splinter is so different from all your other stuff?” The reason rests in the story behind this track and I would...
