Hear what the community says about PML

We are very happy and don’t take it for granted to have such a great community spread across all these different channels. We love how you guys help each other out, review tracks and release killer tracks. Let’s hear from some of you.

Ben Böhmer - Berlin based producer & live act. Cercle stream

"If you want to learn how to make a track in the style of my song 'Vale', then check out the course on Production Music Live. They explained everything using only Ableton Live and it's really, really interesting. Go check it out!"

Johannes Menzel - Techno Producer from Berlin Germany His song "Retaliate" got played by no one else than AMELIE LENS, UMEK, and many other top Techno DJs right now.

"When I heard the samples from the Deep Premium Pack II back in the day I was instantly hooked and knew I have never heard better sounding and better fitting drum samples for the sound I wanted to do, but could not quite get together. After I bought the first samples I fell in love with some synth presets, before I took all classes on sound design to make my own sounds. In the meantime we started cooperating and I have access to all sounds and samples (which is great), but I also contribute a lot of templates and samples myself. I am very happy for the opportunity to present my sounds to the big PML community and hope everybody out there now feel about my packs how I once felt."

“Hope you are doing well. I just finished your intro course on PML and the lesson was just great. I spent over 1000€ about 2 years ago at “XXX” and I came out with nothing. With 50€ that I paid for the course on PML I have 2 finished tracks within 2 days, something I have been trying to do for years. Thank you!”

“For anyone wondering if buying the full PML package is worth it.. It is!! Incredible. You guys are the best. Thanks!”

“Bought the full bundle. Never bought anything before, but decided to widen/deepen my Ableton horizons, especially in more melodic techno styles. The courses are really STEP BY STEP. Looked everywhere to get me started in this genre: only PML offers it. I’m not being sponsored or anything: it’s worth every dollar as inspiration (and “Savoir faire”) is paramount.”

When I got the first copy of the pack I was blown away by the usability of the samples and loops - every sound is inspiring!”

- Oliver Koletzki

- Bart Skils

Producer / DJ (Drumcode) said about PML's Weska Sample Pack

“When I produce a new track I spend hours recording little fillers and organic grooves or phrases that make a song unique. With Organica you have a professionally recorded and great sounding library of natural sounds at your fingertips.”

- Felix Raphael

Producer & Live Act (Stil vor Talent, YION) said about our Organica Production Suite

"Acid lines have always fascinated me. The evolving filter movements, the piercing pluck sequences and the hypnotising repetitions that makes a night in a Techno club so unforgettable. Let me show you how to create the most popular acid/303 sounds and sequences, so you are ready to write your own!"

- Tantum

(Einmusika, Lost & Found)
