So I've finished mixing a live album from a house concert of some local independent musicians. There were 6 different acts, none of which are by people who have much of a following as all are relatively new to this. Well one has about 10,000 facebook likes, but it's not likely that any of them would be interested in multi-channel audio.
Since we had 7 mics and three instruments lined directly into the interface, I've decided to attempt an octophonic mix.
There's a variety of music, and none of it is supreme quality, but it's definitely listenable and a lot of fun to be surrounded by. When compared to Zaireeka, it feels like a masterpiece.
We were considering selling a data DVD with the 8 wav files for each song in separate folders, so anyone with an interface and a DAW can just import them. Mailing a DVD in a CD case and providing a public torrent with lower quality files seems like the way to go, to me.
My issue is... What do I do with it? We're not interested in making money, but I want to make it so that anyone who is like I was several months ago and is wanting an easy way to listen to some true octophonic music can do so easily.
Bandcamp? Where to promote and spread the word of it? Is there thread on this site I haven't noticed that is dedicated to octophonic music?
Give me your thoughts, it will probably be available by the end of the summer!
