Saturday 9th May 2009 saw Propellerhead host simultaneous Producer's Conferences across the world. The UK Conference, organised by UK distributor Sound Technology at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, has been hailed as a great success. A near capacity crowd of 170 saw a series of excellent and varied presentations, including a DJ set from A Guy Called Gerald, plus a secret preview of Propellerhead's Record software announced today.
Sound Technology would like to thank everyone who attended the event, we hope it was a valuable day for you. We'd also like to thank our fantastic guest presenters and all the staff of the Academy of Contemporary Music and the Electric Theatre for helping to make the event a success.

Gary Bromham opened the conference with a great session on mixing on mastering - from basic mix tips and tricks, to practical use of EQ, dynamics and mastering effects.
Michael Tognarelli of London-based production outfit Blu Mar Ten stepped up with a fascinating look at sampling techniques within Reason, particularly using the NNXT sampler device. Michael gave an excellent insight into Blu Mar Ten's sample layering techniques - both an art and a science!
Alex Blanco delivered a brilliant ReCycle demo - presenting the flexible and creative benefits of its technology for today's productions.
As the final artist presentation, Reason's flexibility was demonstrated once again as the audience were treated to an amazing DJ set from A Guy Called Gerald with live on-the-fly editing and mixing. During the Q&A session Gerald answered questions regarding his use of Reason and his switch from racks of analogue gear to working almost exclusively in Reason, both for production and live work.
And finally, the event saw a secret preview of Propellerhead's new Record audio recording software by Propellerhead's VP of Marketing, Tim Self. Not only did the attendees get an exclusive advance look, but also received beta-test codes for immediate access to the software.
