Introduction to Cubase | Joel Armstrong
I was asked to do a basic tutorial on how to get started in Cubase.  I won't tell you that the way I work in Cubase is the best way, it’s just the way I do it.  But, if you are new to electronic music production and you are starting out in Cubase, then hopefully some of the things I will show will be beneficial to you.

Ins and Outs of Mobile Lighting |Daniel Cook aka DJ Dunamis   
Today, mobile DJs are taking on more tasks that require more setup consideration.  One thing that most mobile DJ’s need to consider in their budget or future purchases is lighting.  How you are going to control them comes into consideration depending on what gigs you do and your budget.  First for your lighting setup, you need to decide if you want to go with DMX or non-DMX controlled lighting.  Depending on the size of your budget, you can start with non-DMX lighting and then upgrade to DMX lighting later on.  If you already can afford and want to go with DMX controlled lighting, it is a good choice for lighting.

The Business of Dance Music: Episode Ten - Bringing it all Together | Kevin Neely
It’s been my pleasure to write this series for the past two years. When I started writing “The Business of Dance Music” two years ago, it seemed as if all you Tastyfreshers knew where you wanted to go, but had no idea how to get there. In that two year span, I’ve seen many new faces come aboard, and many old faces step up their game. I’ve seen Christians take their production levels up to a standard that is now acceptable in the secular scene, as opposed to just settling for “good enough”. I’ve seen Christian events and events with Christians pop up all over the world on par with a product capable of standing on its own. I’d like to think that my advice has played some small part in this, but in reality, it’s the Christian Dance Music microcosm stepping up and deciding to put out a better product. For that, I am very proud of all of you.

The Drop: Handling Criticism While Playing Out | Doug Theodore
If you have been a DJ or live performer within the EDM circle you probably are pretty used to receiving criticism.  It not only comes with the territory, but rather is completely ingrained into the scene.  Most non-pro DJs will release mixdisks and unreleased non-completed tracks and ask for feedback.  They actually cry out for the feedback so they can get better; but when mixing live…oh boy.  It is a different story. Any DJ will tell you that one of their biggest complaints about DJing out is the clientele’s bothersome comments.  Can you play the music lower?  Do you have anything jazzier?  Are you going to play dance music tonight?  Of course these comments are made while you have at least one headphone on your ears.  Either listening to the next track or even performing the perfect mix.

I read it.  Good job guys.
