We have a new CD & MP3 Distributor
I must
admit that having someone distribute our special nature and relaxation sounds was the last
thing on my mind but, after months and months of marketing [and the
obligatory stress], I now
realize that it is a very big world and using a third party website may
not be such a bad idea. We will always sell our MP3 downloads
through this site but we have made the decision to also sell CD's and
downloads through Nimbit who is a partner of iTunes, Amazon MP3,
Napster, eMusic and Rhapsody. I'm still not crazy about selling actual
packaged CD's. Packaged CDs have gone the way of dial-up modems, 3.5"
micro-diskettes and Saturday mail delivery. However, there are some people
who think these things are not antiquated and so we still must make
provisions for them.
On the downside I do not think we will be able to
sell our long MP3 versions through Nimbit but that is alright as
they will always be available on this site. It seems that they have
storage size limitations on individual tracks. I guess I could lower the
quality to squeeze them down to size but that would be defeating the
purpose. This is also one of the reasons we created the
12 minute versions. 12 minutes is about
as short as we will go here. I personally never liked those nature CD's
with 4 or 5 minute tracks. Who can get into anything that short? What
purpose does it serve?
On a side note I remixed
The Tin Roof Cabin recently. I was
listening to it the other day ( I use them to sleep, too!) and
thought the storm was a little too intense. I decreased the wind effect
and also put in random rain striking a window and increased the channel
separation of the fireplace sound while decreasing the actual length of
the fire cracklin' as to not bleed into the rain on a tin roof sound.
Ahhhhh... that's better. It's not like I am obsessive
compulsive or anything. OK... maybe a little but it's about time a real
insomniac [me] who just happens to be an audio engineer made relaxation
and nature sounds for other insomniacs and people who just want to
de-stress.
Anyhoo....
look for us, at some point, on the below sites:
