Haulix Weekly Update #124: “He calls himself ‘The Wallet Inspector’”

Hello again, everyone! We hope this message finds you well. March is already a quarter of the way done and we are finally starting to feel like we have a firm grasp on everything we wish to accomplish in the coming months. We like to use Fridays to reflect on everything we have done as of late, but before we get there we wanted to share this track that has been on repeat in our offices this week. Enjoy:

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: 

The long-teased Haulix platform update is still a few weeks from completion, but progress is being made with each passing day. Our company recently switched to Microsoft Azure, which has proven incredibly beneficial. Our costs are lower, but we have more power than ever. The implementation of Azure was the last ‘big piece’ we needed before piecing together the new platform, so it feels safe to say we are finally in the home stretch of this development process.

As for a release date, it appears we are still not ready to drop that information just yet. When we are ready however, you will be the first to know.

Blog news:

With all the planning and work being put into the next phase of product development we have admittedly put our blog efforts on the back burner a bit. That said, we are still churning out 5-10 original columns every week, including our podcast (Inside Music). We may not be hitting the same quantity we did three months back, but we believe the quality of what we create is better now than ever before. Don’t believe us? Head over to the archives and see for yourself.

That is all the news we have to share this week. Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to check back tomorrow for a brand new Job Board.

Best,

Haulix Weekly Update #123: “This doesn’t happen in America. Maybe Ohio, but not America.”

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another Haulix Weekly Update. Have you had a good week in the office? It has been unsurprisingly cold in Minneapolis, but our team has been making the best of it with long hours spend in warm offices plugging away at our next big release. We have a few important news items to share, but before we get there we wanted to show you 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.

COME SEE US LIVE!

We are less than two weeks away from the start of SXSW, and just like last year we will have people on the streets of Austin all week long. James Shotwell, Digital Marketing Coordinator, will be spear-heading our efforts on site. He will also be hosting our panel, which happens on Friday, March 18, from 2-3PM. Click here for more information.

Development news:

We’ve been asked to keep details at a minimum, but suffice to say this week the Haulix team received the last major piece of what we would consider the second of a three-part lead up to the release of our new platform. We are now just days away from beginning testing on all our upgrades, and after that is complete we will be pushing the finished project to all of you. More details soon!

Blog news:

With all the planning and work being put into the next phase of product development we have admittedly put our blog efforts on the back burner a bit. That said, we are still churning out 5-10 original columns every week, including our podcast (Inside Music). We may not be hitting the same quantity we did three months back, but we believe the quality of what we create is better now than ever before. Don’t believe us?

Haulix Weekly Update #122: “No, it’s the children that are wrong.”

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the final recap of February 2016. It’s kind of hard to believe this year is already 1/6 complete, but that appears to be the case. Have you been tackling you new year’s resolutions, or putting them off? We’ve done our best to do the former, but it’s hard to resist a lazy weekend at home. One of the things motivating us has been music, especially this 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:

The new version of Haulix is coming along smoothly, though we are uncertain it will be ready for unveiling at SXSW as originally planned. As a result, we wish to keep most the details regarding the numerous updates planned under wraps. We will say that the new Haulix will be easier to use and offer better security than any of our competitors can claim. We have poured everything we have into this project, and we will continue to do so until it is as good as it can possible be. You deserve nothing but the best, and we will find a way to make it available.

Blog news:

Activity on the blog was up this week, but content creation is still taking a back seat to work on the new platform. We are quite proud of the material shared as of late, so please take a few moments to experience everything we have prepared for you. The best way to do that, at least in our opinion, is by scrolling through our archives. Enjoy.

That is all the news we have to share this week. Have a safe and productive weekend. We will see you back here on Sunday for a brand new job board.

Best,

Haulix

Haulix Weekly Update #121: I swore never to read again after ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’

Hello, everyone! We’re a day late posting this update, but rest assured that all is well at Haulix HQ. We have some big changes on the horizon, and starting with this post we are going to reveal some of what lies in store. Before we get there however, we would like to begin this recap with a song we have had on repeat all week long. Check this out:

Development news:

Haulix is now relying on Microsoft Azure, and as a result we are more powerful than ever before. This was the first and biggest piece needed to make our long-planned relaunch happen, and now that it is in place we can finally focus on pushing this massive update to the public. It won’t happen overnight, of course, but before Spring arrives we plan to have an entirely new platform for clients and press to enjoy.

Haulix Weekly Update #121: “Do you follow my husband around to sell him hot dogs?”

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much for carving a small bit of time out of your surely busy schedule to browse our company blog. The month of February has been hectic so far, but each and every week we like to take a little time to sit back, reflect, and review everything that has transpired at HQ in the recent days. Before we get there however, we wanted to share a song that has been on repeat around our offices in Minneapolis. Check it out:

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 we say this a lot, but you would not believe how cool the next version of Haulix will be. We understand that we tease the forthcoming update, currently codenamed ‘Falcon,’ a lot, but that is only because we find a new reason every single week to believe we are closer than ever from providing consumers with the perfect promotional distribution platform. From uploading and customization of promos, to the way journalists access our system and the quality of streams they’re able to access, we have made improvements big and small across the board. Functionality won’t change much, if at all, but the power offered to users will be greater than ever before.

As for a release date, it appears we are still not ready to drop that information just yet. When we are ready however, you will be the first to know.

Haulix Weekly Update #120: “Do not touch Willy. Good advice.”

Hello again, everyone! We hope this message finds you well. February is already a quarter of the way done and we are finally starting to feel like we have a firm grasp on everything we wish to accomplish in the coming months. The new version of Haulix is still a few weeks away from completion, as is the beginning of our numerous live events, but still we are working around the clock to provide you, the consumer, with everything you need to master the world of digital distribution. We like to use Fridays to reflect on everything we have done as of late, but before we get there we wanted to share this track that has been on repeat in our offices this week. Enjoy:

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:

As we mentioned in the introduction, the long-teased Haulix platform update is still a few weeks from completion, but progress is being made with each passing day. Our company recently switched to Microsoft Azure, which has proven incredibly beneficial. Our costs are lower, but we have more power than ever. The implementation of Azure was the last ‘big piece’ we needed before piecing together the new platform, so it feels safe to say we are finally in the home stretch of this development process. 

In non-tech related news, our team used this week to move in to our new offices in downtown Minneapolis. Haulix has existed for over a half a decade, but this week was the first that we had a proper office. We’ve got a nice view…

Blog news:

On the social front of our operations, the previous five days have been some of the more exciting times we have seen as of late. First off, we finally launched an episode of our podcast focused on our efforts to help the people impacted by the Flint Water Crisis through Not Safe To Drink. We also highlighted some brilliant young minds in the industry and wrote hundreds of words advising musicians on how to improve their practice habits. 

Did you miss anything this week? If so, head over to our archive and catch up!

That’s all the content we have to share this week. Have a wonderful weekend and make sure you check back here on Sunday for a brand new Job Board.

Haulix Weekly Update #119: “Your secret identity is safe with me.”

Hello, everyone! We’re a day late posting this update, but rest assured that all is well at Haulix HQ. We have some big changes on the horizon, and starting with this post we are going to reveal some of what lies in store. Before we get there however, we would like to begin this recap with a song we have had on repeat all week long. Check this out:

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.

Company news:

Starting this coming Monday, February 1, the entire Haulix team will be entering our first-ever proper office in order to start a new chapter in life. We have all worked remote since inception, but thanks to you, the client and dedicated journalist, we are able to take this step toward further legitimizing all we do. We will share photos online next week, but for now we just want to say THANK YOU over and over and over again.

Also, we are beyond thrilled to announce that we have 3 major conference appearances planned for 2016. First off, James will be hosting a panel on piracy and digital distribution at SXSW in March. James then heads to Launch Music Conference in April and, as of this weekend, MusicBiz Conference in Nashville in May. If you are planning to attend one or more of these events, PLEASE take the time to meet with us. We love getting to know the people who use our service, and we definitely want to know how you would like to see us further improve as we move forward.

Development news:

Last week’s server switch was a great success. Haulix is now relying on Microsoft Azure, and as a result we are more powerful than ever before. This was the first and biggest piece needed to make our long-planned relaunch happen, and now that it is in place we can finally focus on pushing this massive update to the public.

Haulix Weekly Update #118: “Batman’s a scientist”

Hello, everyone. We’re here to talk about the music business, and to be far more specific this post is about our role in the business of music, as well as how that role is changing. It’s also a place where we share songs we love, like 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.

Important update:

We are doing a large server upgrade this weekend.  Our new network will be able to auto-scale as we continue to grow and you continue to create and send out more promos.

While we are working on this upgrade, there might be some down time. The scheduled block of time will be between Saturday January 23 – 9AM CST to Sunday January 24 – 6PM CST.

If you have any questions, send them to matt@haulix.com.

Development news:

After the underlying server infrastructure is upgraded (this weekend), we will be getting ready to launch the new Haulix website.

The site will include over a dozen new features, as well as a completely re-built email engine that will support press releases AND promo invitations using a new drag and drop email designer.

We will be releasing more information about the new site in the next month or so.

Blog news:

Things on the blog continue to progress with each passing week. This is always the case, I suppose, but in the past week it has especially been true as we have been attempting to plan the remainder of 2016. If there is anything you would like to see us cover, shoot James an email at james@haulix.com

If you missed anything this week, use the archive and get caught up.

That’s all we have for this week. Check back on Sunday for a new Job Board!

Haulix Weekly Update #117: “Hi, Super Nintendo Chalmers!”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for finding a few minutes in your schedule to browse the Haulix blog. Life has been hectic for our team as of late. We have been working around the clock to bring the next version of our platform to life, and along the way we’ve been creating a wealth of industry-focused content to help you better navigate the industry at large.We’re planning to tell you all the latest news in this post, but first there is a song you absolutely need to hear:

Anyone who has followed this project since inception knows this has been the news pretty much every week since November, but we assure you progress is being made with each passing day. We believe we could release the product as is and patch things as needed or we could get it right the first time out. The latter takes longer, but we believe it is the better choice, and we appreciate your continued patience.

Blog news:

Activity on the blog was up this week, but content creation is still taking a back seat to work on the new platform. We are quite proud of the material shared as of late, so please take a few moments to experience everything we have prepared for you. A list of recent links can be found below:
