#138 - Navigating the future of music, DSD and sound! And of course, a new coupon!
Friends, it's been a long time coming and we've finally separated and moved our mailing lists! That's just the beginning. We've got plans for 2023 that include new releases, a new website about sound, music production workshops and more!
While you wait, here's a coupon code good at Blue Coast Music store. You'll get $5 off any order by adding it at checkout.

It's good to use through Nov 20, 2022 and yes, it overlaps with other coupons that are available, including the album promotion for
Buy Two Get One Free
(Buy two albums - not three - send the receipt to support@bluecoastmusc.com with your choice of new album and format. We'll put it in your account!)
So Why Is a Mailing List such a big thing?
Over the years we've found that a direct relationship with our customers and music lovers is more important than any social media post on Facebook, Twitter or "you name it". These companies attach algorithms to suit their taste not our music lovers. Don't get me wrong, we do post in all the usual places, but even subscribers to our channel don't see our posts.
And besides, we enjoy the direct relationship our newsletters bring. We love getting emails from our music lovers with thoughts and ideas that help guide us to a better community and more great sounding music!
Unfortunately, not all mailing lists have the same reach to inboxes and we find ourselves testing, moving and rebuilding our network every few years. Plus, they can get expensive when you have 35,000 fans to address. We'd like to have 100,000 fans and at least 4 newsletters so that you can choose which content is most meaningful to you. That's the nice thing about substack ... it's FREE to us to have it as a platform. Which means, we now can have Cookie's Corner with it's own mailing list so that those not interested in our Blue Coast Music store promotions can choose to unsubscribe and still get my weekly musings on music at Cookie's Corner.
Last year we tested this on DSD-Guide by pulling it out to substack and it worked so well, we've decided to do this to all the mailing lists.
What the future holds....
We have white papers coming on DSD, workshops planned to educate audiophiles and professional audio engineers, podcasts and youtube reviews, music and your health and private chats for commiseration or consultation and (hopefully) a music licensing channel for those creatives needing soundtracks. Yes, that means I'll be reviving my composing skills (and maybe even playing the piano again).
And of course, we hope to offer you more music in DSD!
