Who reads it: People who like music more than is reasonable. Every week there's new music, reviews, interviews with people actually doing the work, and opinions we're prepared to defend. Alongside that, the stuff nobody else bothers to explain. Why a bass sounds like a duck. Why your washing machine appears to have a beat. Where streaming money really goes. It's a wide audience and a deep one. Producers, engineers, managers and music teachers, sitting next to a much larger group who don't make music and just care enormously. They read about mastering for fun. They buy the gear. They hear a track on Thursday and own the record by Friday. They have strong opinions about ticket prices.
The numbers: 42% open rate among regular readers. 1 in 3 read it twice. 1.5M+ issues delivered. Over 26,000 subscribers. And artists send us their music unprompted, every week, for nothing.
What you can book: $425 gets you a placement in a Thursday send. Send a booking request, we confirm the slot and the price, and collect your assets by email. No call and no proposal. Anything bigger, a run of slots, a takeover, a dedicated feature: tell us what you need and we'll get back with what's free and what it costs.
What we need: An image at 1200 x 628, which you already have. A headline of ten words or fewer, roughly ninety words of body, and a call to action of four words or fewer. If you'd rather not write it, send us the points you want made and we'll do it. Ads that sound like the newsletter work better than ads that sound like ads, and we don't charge extra for that.
Who it works for: Instruments, plugins, hardware, studio gear, software, education, vinyl, headphones. New releases, festivals, tickets, labels, streaming tools, other newsletters. Anything a person who cares about sound would actually want. If it would survive being mentioned in front of an audience who notices everything, it'll do fine here.
Who it doesn't: Anything with nothing to do with music, audio, tech or entertainment.
How it works: Request a slot, we reply to confirm it and the price, then you send the assets. It runs in that Thursday's send if you book by Wednesday. Delivery and click numbers afterwards. No agency in the middle and no minimum.
