Meet the Author

Dave Hill, Jr., currently the Public Media and Artist Relations Manager for Ableton, has been toying with samplers since age 16. Nearly a decade after purchasing his first sampler, he discovered the joys of working with audio inside computers, recombining his own drum recordings and producing several musical projects. He lives in New York, producing the music for his two projects, jettatura (www.jettura.com) and brainboxing (www.brainboxing.net), and is contributing writer for several publications including REMIX, Mix, Electronic Musician, Modern Drummer, and Guitar World?s Bass Guitar.
