![]() "Particle Salad" wrote in message m... Question... why did you stop posting the entries then? Was it just because you had a good moneymaking opportunity on your hands (not at all a bad thing)? It would make sense. Given the writing style, I recommended "Book" within the first couple of weeks of postings. Nice flair and a good feel for the reader. |

It's a hardbound smythe sewn book Thanks for the specs. If I knew where I could get 396 pages printed and bound, and make a little money selling it for $19.95, I'd publish the book of my Recording articles that people have been asking for. Cafepress actually isn't bad if you only have a small number that get sold, but it's phenomenally expensive if you sell a lot. I've been looking into doing that with the Recording articles but the thing is that I am not sure what the actual sales will be like, and I really have no clue how to market it. seems to me that the market is pretty specific and there are only a few ways of reaching that specific audience effectively: ads at pro-audio discussion sites, or related sites, (there will surely be a number of people interested here on RAP, but i suppose that's a given. ![]() offer a few of your articles for free (to get some traffic and foster more interest) with ads for the book on each page and the ability to purchase on the web, ads in the usual magazines: Mix, TapeOp, SoundOnSound, Electronic Musician, Remix, Recording, etc...most have classified sections that might suffice if the investment isn't worthwhile for an actual ad space. if it were me (i know, it isn't!) i'd probably focus on taking out ads in the more DIY/prosumer oriented mags. it seems like there'd be a bigger market there period, but also for your specific articles anyway. obviously, you've probably thought about all of this, but i thought i'd toss it in there as encouragement, because i think you might be surprised by how much a book of your articles would probably tend to just "sell itself" with a minimum of marketing. and also that it seems like there aren't a ton of options for marketing such a specific product anyway except the more obvious ones. |

I expect to sell maybe
300-500, and make less than I'd make from a Recording article that's 1/20 the length. Word of mouth goes a long way when the audience is "listening" oriented. |

My two cents : some of us don't live in North America. Paper has its drawbacks, especially when it must be shipped across an ocean. I'd suggest that you and/or Scott compile your papers into PDF or DJVU format and sell them for half the price, and no shipping costs. For us : it's faster and cheaper.

I'd suggest that you and/or Scott compile your papers into PDF or DJVU format and sell them for half the price, and no shipping costs. But sitting on the couch or in the tile reading room and reading from paper is just so much better a way to read technical articles. Do you really want to waste all of that paper and ink printing it, and then not have something that's nicely bound? I don't systematically print things. And, when I do, it's 2-up with a small font, so paper wastage is no more of an issue that it is with traditional publishing. As for the bindings, short articles get "bound" with a staple in the corner, which suits me fine. Large documents can be bound with a plastic comb, which is arguably a much better binding than anything else this side of sewn. The book will lay flat without having to break the spine. If done right, i.e. with a comb big enough than you can turn the pages without folding the paper, a plastic comb binding is very durable, unlike wire bindings and glued bindings. I live in a small flat that is cluttered with, among many other things, nine bookshelves, all overflowing. The only reason why I haven't bought one or two more shelves is that I wouldn't know where to put them. As you can imagine, anything that helps reduce the amount of paper I have to keep is welcome. I've been working on a book about the Mackie hard disk recorders and I'm torn between putting a copy of it in PDF form on the accompanying CD. Part of me says that people might want to keep it on their computer in the studio and search for things in it, and the other part says that once a PDF gets out, people will e-mail it to those who would like to have it but don't want to shell out the cash for the book (just like music). Yes, that's the problem with electronic publishing. However, my perception is that people are more likely to make illegal copies if ; a/ the author is a faceless stranger, b/ the product is expensive, c/ they know that most of their money is going to pay for overhead like retailer margin, advertisement or the salaries of the marketing team. If you sold your book in electronic format for the margin you were hoping for ($5, IIRC), you'd certainly pass the "cheap" test. I don't think there are many people who will put several thousand dollars into a piece of gear and yet are so cheap as to try to get a $5 manual for free. But then again, I see people do stranger things than that every day. -- André Majorel URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/ Respect for government [...] and its symbols is fundamentally fascist. -- William Sommerwerck, on the subject of ****ing on a national flag. |

The Mixerman Diaries were posted on Pro Sound Web a couple of years ago, but were never completed. I have learned that they have been completed and are out in book form. They can be had at www.mixerman.net. For those of you who are not familiar with them, they are the story by an AE named Mixerman (who may post here - I'm not sure) who is recording the "hot new band" named Bitch Slap for a major deletia "buzz" claimed it was a complete fabrication conjured up by Fletcher, but written by someone else. Loved the part about the replacement drummer who required super loud headphones. The author claims they drove the headphones so loud that the drivers caught fire. Not funny if true, but still... damn those phones must have been loud. :) Sure miss the daily adventures. I had a friend of mine picking them off prosound web for me for awhile but missed quite a few. fOr those who've seen mixerman.net please tell me if these diaries are in ascii text format. IF so I'd run right over to download the whole thing as it was a damned funny read. COuld see parallels between these clowns and some groups I've recorded in the past. ONly sad part was these clowns I worked with weren't major label bands, nor was there major label money involved, just egos and stupidity untiil their money ran out.
