Following up on the previous how-to-host-a-listening-party post, here's what some artists have to say:
Rock/a-capella artist Wes Caroll invited his fans to join him on MixApp for a few hours while he was remixing tracks for his upcoming album, playing the mixes as he made them. Wes says:
MixApp gives me a live performance venue that is both more intimate and more wide-reaching than any other.
It turns people who love my music into people who love playing my music for their friends. I want all my fans on MixApp, right now.
Indie rockers My First Earthquake gave their Kickstarter backers an exclusive listening party, and everyone had a blast. Chad says:
Our MixApp listening party was possibly the easiest thing we’ve ever done to promote our music. We turned a couple dozen people who knew a little about us into big fans by doing the easiest thing imaginable: telling stories about the songs we’ve written while people listen to them.
Down-tempo electronica artist Dr. Toast uses MixApp to test out new material:
...Played some unfinished tracks on MixApp -- it’s a nice way to beta test without worrying about the tracks getting into the wild.
