(Update: See what artists using MixApp have to say.)
If you're in a band, how do you give your top fans first crack at your new album? You can't give everyone a live show all at once, so what's the next best thing?
Sure, you could make the tracks available for streaming or download, and your fans could listen to it...alone, by themselves (sniff!)
But with MixApp, you can host a listening party, and create a special, shared experience for your fans.
Step 1: Decide who to invite
- Tell everyone...
- Or use the party to thank the folks who funded your latest album.
Step 2: Announce the party
- Choose a time when band members can all log into MixApp.
- Before you're ready to announce the party, log into MixApp and create a new room, and copy the link in your browser's address bar. (It'll look something like http://mixapp.com/#r=1631zLRvqU.)
- Tell your fans to follow that link at the appointed time. Use email, create a Facebook event, or plaster the town.
Step 3: Party!
- Show up a bit early to greet your fans as they arrive. Queue up some tracks to keep them entertained before the main event begins.
- When it's time, play the new album, and enjoy the kudos as they roll in.
- Take questions, requests, etc.
- Have fun!
