Haulix Weekly Update #146: “Why was I programmed to feel pain?”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for finding a little time in your busy schedules to browse our blog and read up on the latest industry tips and tricks. We have been working hard to plan the remainder of our year, as well as what we will accomplish in 2017. It’s crazy to think 2016 is nearly over, right? No matter what comes in the weeks ahead we will remember this year as one riddled with great music, including this new release we cannot shake:

Each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

Development news:

This fall is going to be a relatively chill time for our development team. While there is a lot of work still to be done on the forthcoming platform overhaul we have scheduled for release in mid-2017 we are doing our best to not rush our work. If we have learned anything from the events of the last two months it is that pushing development to grind out products before they have been properly refined is a move that begs for complications. There are no shortcuts in the world of business, and there are certainly no shortcuts when it comes to ensuring the security and ease of access our platform is able to provide. Instead of forcing strict deadlines we are currently allowing our devs to rest and reconfigure their plan of attack for the new site. Once we have a plan in place we will move forward, but right now we are happy just exploring the options for growth you have made possible through your continued support.

Blog news:

As many of you probably noticed, our podcast was absent this week. We actually had two different guests scheduled, but both interviews had to be delayed due to circumstances beyond our control. We expect Inside Music to return to its regular day (Wednesday) in the coming week, and we are currently planning to release two episodes back-to-back in the near future in order to get back on track for the release of episode #100 this November.

In other blog news, our team has been churning out a number of articles as of late. The growing need to incorporate video into music blogs, the challenges of getting on the radar of music influencers, and more important topics were covered in the last week alone. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Tune in next week for a new job board, a very long podcast, and much more.

Haulix Weekly Update #145: “Make way for Willy…”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for finding a little time in your surely busy schedules to browse our company blog. Fall is officially underway here in the midwest, but the temperature doesn’t seem to have been impacted by the changing of the seasons. Thankfully, there is a lot of great new music keeping us cool at HQ. Like this:

Each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

Development news:

Honestly, we do not have a ton of news to share in regards to development plans at this time. With Falcon pushed until mid-2017 (at the earliest) we are currently focusing our effort on improving other aspects of our business and branding. We are still fixing any glitches as they arise, but lucky for us we have a reliable system that does not require constant care in order to properly operate.

All this said, if you have an idea for how we can make Haulix better we would love to here it. We cannot promise to make every change you request, but we will thoroughly consider every suggestion we receive.

Blog news:

We are incredibly proud of what has been happening around our blog as of late. The content being created is only about half as good as the conversations that content has sparked, but in the end it’s all good. We are very invested in helping build a better music business for future generations, and with your help and contributions we are slowly, but surely doing just that. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Tune in next week for a new job board, a very long podcast, and much more.

Haulix Weekly Update #143: “Bake ’em away, toys.”

Hello, everyone! We hope the first post-Labor Day work week has treated you well. The temperatures are starting to slide here in Minnesota and we could not be happier to know that Fall is just around the corner. After all, summer is nice, but can it really hold a candle to apple cider, corn mazes, pumpkins, Halloween, and all the other good things that come with Fall? Before you answer – no. The answer is always no. Check this out:

Each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

Development news:

After last week’s discussion regarding our plans to hold off on releasing the updated Haulix until the second-half of summer 2016 things have admittedly been pretty calm for our developers. Our current behind-the-scenes efforts are all about retooling what we already have and improving performances wherever we are able. We want to not only be the most reliable and secure service, but also the fastest and easiest to use. Some of you may think we already have that title, and if so – thank you. We still feel we have a ways to go, and we are not going to stop until we get there.

Blog news:

School is now back in session for most of the United States, so we figured this week was as good as any to jumpstart our content creation efforts. If you browse our most recent posts you will find advice on building a career in between classes, learning to prepare for – and handle – failure, and a few words on the need to make your music easily available online. We also ran a great podcast with Bryan Garris of Knocked Loose. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Check back here on Sunday for an all-new music industry job board.

Haulix Weekly Update #142: “You will be called…Stitchface”

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the first weekend of September and one of the last true holiday weekends of 2016. Our entire staff is itching to get our and enjoy the final hours of summer, but there is still a lot of work to do in order to be the best service we can possibly be. We know all you hard worker know what we mean, and to celebrate our mutual dedication to success we wanted to share this song that we’ve had on repeat all week long:

Each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

Development news:

After much consideration and recalibration we have come to the conclusion that new version of Haulix will remain offline for the foreseeable future. Our goal is to retool the updated platform, making changes based on clients’ suggestions as we are able, and then reintroduce the overhauled UI sometime in the latter half of 2017. We know that is long time from now, but this industry moves fast. Before you know it we will be celebrating the new year, and not long after that we will begin teasing the changes we have planned. For now, we thank you for your patience and support. Haulix is what it is because of you.

Blog news:

As you may have noticed, our blog has recently found a renewed sense of purpose. Our return to the Blogger Spotlight series has provided a wealth of new readers, as well as pitches from up and coming sites looking to be featured. We hope to get to everyone in time, but we do ask that those awaiting a response be patient. We have SO MUCH good stuff on the horizon, and we just need a little time to get on top of everything. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week.

Haulix Weekly Update #140: “Okay, the trampoline was a bad idea.”

Hello, everyone! This has been a week we will not soon forget. We have had so many ups and downs it is hard to keep track, but the weekend is here and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. This song is making our day:

Each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

Development news:

Unless you have been sleeping under a rock this week you no doubt heard (and possibly saw) that the launch of our new platform did not go as planned. We tested our system thoroughly prior to launch, but a lot can change when we push something as large the our updated system out for the first time. In an effort to get things working properly once more as fast as possible we ultimately decided to roll back to our classic platform, which is what you will now see if you visit haulix.com. Our current plan is to retool the updated platform and try for a second launch once the industry has taken its holiday break in late December, but that might change between now and then. We will keep you updated.

Blog news: 

Our blog took a backseat to our development needs this week, but we did manage to run a few posts that are worthy of note. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Check back here on Sunday for an all-new music industry job board.

Haulix Weekly Update #139: “One o’clock, still just a potato.”

This is the weekend we have all been waiting for! After months of promises and continued teasing we are finally launching our brand new, completely overhauled digital distribution platform. Yes, the wait is (almost) over. Join us in celebrating, won’t you?

Each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

Development news:

The new age of Haulix is almost here. Tonight, at 6PM CST, we are taking our site down in order to launch the new platform. We expect to be out the majority of the weekend, but our team will be working as fast as possible to get things up and running once more.

We say this a lot, but thank you for your continued patience and support throughout the development of this platform. We have spent over a year on this project, and we honestly believe it was time well spent. This is the best platform we can possibly give you, and we cannot wait for the full reveal this coming Monday.

Blog news: 

You know what? Aside from highlighting this week’s podcast, which you really should here, our blog has remained a little quiet. It’s all hands on deck as we prepare to push out this massive update, but starting next week things should return to their usual routine. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week.

Haulix Weekly Update #137: “Isn’t it nice we hate the same things?”

Hello, people of Earth. We hope this update finds you healthy, happy, and able to avoid the harsh heat wave currently plaguing our nation. The last few days have been unusually hot, especially for us here in Minnesota, but our team has managed to stay cool thanks to our constant presence in our air conditioned office. If you do not have AC at home we highly recommend visiting a library, cinema, or restaurant and enjoying their cool air. While you consider your options, watch this:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

Development news:

We are so close to unveiling the new Haulix. We know we have said that roughly fifteen times in the past, but we have never meant it more than we do right now. The new Haulix is real, and our entire team has seen it in action. We’ve even begun showing clients some of the possibilities. For example, check out this mock promo we pieced together just last night:

Not too shabby, right?

We are keeping the launch date of the updated platform under wraps just in case something comes up, but suffice to so we hope to be pushing things live within the next couple weeks. Again, we have certainly said all this before, but we have never been as close to going live as we are right now. We promise, you only have to wait a little bit longer.

Blog news:

The focus of our outreach this week has been our podcast. We released two new episodes of Inside Music in recent days, and each showcases a unique perspective on this crazy business. The first, with Matt Halpern, tells of what it’s like to be a successful metal band. The second, with Mod Sun, captures the life of a rapper on the rise and all the challenges such a person faces on their journey to global recognition. We are very proud of these episodes, and we hope you find time to enjoy them in the days ahead. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That is all we have for today. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Haulix Weekly Update #136: “Sit perfectly still. Only I may dance.”

Hello, everyone! We hope this update finds you staying cool during the height of summer heat. our ACs have been on overdrive, just like our development team. There are a lot of exciting reveals on the horizon for our team, and in this update we will give you a few hints about all we have in store. First, let’s all take a few minutes to relax and enjoy this great song:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

Development news:

We know what you’re thinking, “Is this another update about how the new version of Haulix is coming along, but still not ready for public consumption?” The answer is yes AND no. The platform is actually nearly complete at this point, but unfortunately we do have a bit more work to do before pushing this massive platform overhaul out to the general public. Our entire team has spent the last several days testing the new platform, and though it looks great there are several small hiccups to the UI that we are still trying to iron out. Our hope, and this is just a hope right now, is to have the entire platform ready for launch by next Friday. If that happens and we have the team available to push it live then we will launch that very day. If not, then we will take a few more days and make sure we got it right. 

We know some of you have started to grow impatient with our constant delays, but trust us when we say we feel the same. We want this platform out just as much, if not more than you do, and we are doing everything in our power to make that happen as soon as possible. 

Blog news: 

Though we have admittedly put our blogging efforts on the backburner while working to finish the new platform we did find time to push out several posts this week that we feel are quite important. Some of those articles focus on the responsibilities of journalists granted access to live events, the need to ignore hate born out of ignorance, and – of course – the continuation of our popular podcast, Inside Music. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That is all we have for today. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Best –

Haulix Weekly Update #135: “A toast to the host who can boast the most roast”

Hello, everyone! It’s the beginning of July and things are really starting to heat up at Haulix HQ. Everything we have been working towards for the better part of a year is so close to being ready for public consumption that we can hardly contain our excitement. That said, there is still a lot of work to be done, and we’ll most likely spend a good portion of our holiday weekend grinding away at our computers. It’s worth it though, because we know you’re going to love what we have in store. For now, watch this:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

Development updates:

This week our entire team was given the opportunity to explore the long-awaited Haulix update. For the first time since we started this journey (nearly a year ago) we were all able to see what we have been working towards in action. Bugs and mistakes were found, but that was the point. We want our team to know this platform inside and out so that they can better serve you, the customer, once we are ready to share these changes with the world. 

And believe us, those changes are coming soon.

Blog updates: 

Things on our blog continue to move along swiftly, but as our development teams continues to need assistance completing the impending platform overhaul we have admittedly been focusing the bulk of our energy on that project. Still, we did manage to get several posts out regarding the best methods for surviving this turbulent industry, as well as an in-depth podcast on the state of music blogging today.  If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Check back Sunday for an all-new music industry job board.

Haulix Weekly Update #134: “Scanning for sarcasm…”

Hello, everyone! It’s the beginning of July and things are really starting to heat up at Haulix HQ. Everything we have been working towards for the better part of a year is so close to being ready for public consumption that we can hardly contain our excitement. That said, there is still a lot of work to be done, and we’ll most likely spend a good portion of our holiday weekend grinding away at our computers.

Development news:

We know we have spent the last few months promising the June launch of our completely overhauled platform, but unfortunately that is a promise we have to break. It’s now July, and we are still a couple weeks away from being entirely satisfied with the latest version of Haulix. Most of the coding work is done, but we have a lot of testing and Q/A work to do before we will feel confident in sharing our latest creation with the world. That said, we have made several screenshots of the new platform available online, and we are continuing to add new images on a regular basis. Click here to catch a glimpse of the future.

Blog news:

If you have been following our daily posts you’ll have no doubt recognized a lot of content being produced as of late. This is admittedly part of a two-fold plan. On one hand, we want to provide you with everything you need to navigate the modern music business. On the other hand, we know as we near the launch of the new Haulix we will not have time for content creation, so we’re shoveling out a lot of posts now to hold you over until we can return to business as usual. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Check back Sunday for an all-new music industry job board.
