1. Login

2. Go to this page: http://www.qubenzis.com/downloads/

I’m sure most peoples intentions are good and I can understand if it seems harsh to demand registration for Common Creative Licensed music (though Q.P.A’s songs are ‘normally’ copyrighted). Before I started with the required registration I had between 200 – 500 downloads a day with very few people replying with a thanks and even lesser bothering registering with the site. So I had it. I felt like I was ripped off, sorry. All I currently ask in return is to be able to contact whomever who downloaded my artistic creations. So I started the requiring thing and the plain newsletter at the same time.

By now I can see that only very few ‘required’ registered users unsubscribe the mailing option. On the Q.P.A mailing list are many types of people, including dj’s and a few record labels, as well as quite a few pretty serious artists/producers and creative individuals within the psytrance and electronic music community. After starting with required registration I got less downloads. But since most of the people using this site are who they are I’d love to stay in contact with them (you) for obvious reasons. Like that I can send out updates about new samples, songs and other cool info about psytrance, electronic music production etc.

I’m sure there are sensible arguments for why one should let the music completely free, but I’m not ready for that yet. Though one day, perhaps, it will make more sense to me too.

Of course. As a matter of Principe you can easily choose whether any further contact should be possible. Just deselect the ‘receive email’ option or cancel your membership all together just go this page (you must be logged in). You are welcome to sign up temporarily at a later occasion, just for downloading the files you want. It’s okay. Your free choice…

If you have problem with being on the email list you may deselect receiving emails on your user profile page. Just go to this page (you must be logged in) and scroll to the bottom of the page. There you’ll see the ‘receive email’ option.Note, Admin (= me) can always send you an emergency private email as long as the membership is active. But by deselecting the email option you won’t receive any further QPA News newsletter or emails from other users

A cool additional feature is that all blog posts written on this website can be automatically connected to the users Twitter account. See the settings at the bottom of your user profile page. There one can add the specific Twitter account information that will allow for the function to work.

The Twitter this post option is found below the writing panel, usually entered by clicking the Add New Post button on the user Dashboard
