FAQ Section

i. “Do I have to be a professional music producer or semi-pro producer to attend the Producer Sessions Live 2011 event?”
Producer Sessions Live is aimed at anyone with an active interest in hi-tech music making, not primarily for professionals/semi professionals. The weekend is a chance for you to learn from producers, industry professionals and check out the latest gear – whatever level you’re at.

ii. “Are the individual Producer Sessions hands-on, or will I just sit, observe and listen?”
The sessions themselves are not hands-on, more of a seminar for the producers to show the audience how they work.

iii. “Will there be a Question & Answer opportunity with the producers at the end of their 45-minute sessions?”
Yes, there will be an opportunity for audience questions.

iv. “Are places on the individual Producer sessions unlimited, or do they sell out?”
