5. Send via e-mail (or share an address for download) four mp3 stereo short preview files, each almost one minute and extracted from your four soundscapes. They could be inserted in the main player of your soundscape home page.

6. If you have finish your soundscapes or soundscape compositions, send to A&G Soluzioni Digitali http://www.aegweb.it/informazioni/dove.html
the original tracks (from 2 to 8 each soundscape, better if mono, 16 bit 44,100) on CD ROM, DVD ROM or USB memory pen. The tracks will be used to produce the customized spatialisation for the end user.
Please include a txt file with instructions if want to position or "move" one or more audio track in a specific way.

----

Each SD card for X-spat player should contain four soundscape or soundscape compositions or a mix of both kinds of artworks.
Please feel free to interpret the concept of sound design of an ambient upon your acoustical and aesthetic idea.
We have no commercial impositions or genre preference, we are searching for pure artistic expression.
The only requirements for the works are the following:
a) the X-spat player must be able to reproduce each one in infinite loop mode;
b) the duration must be 7 minutes minimum, 10 minutes max for each one, 16 bit, 44,100 kHz;
c) all the artworks must be licensed in Creative Commons 3.0, attribute, commercial use, no derivates. (they can be protected with safecreative.org)

You should send us the separated tracks (from one stereo and one mono to eight mono or any combination) and we shall produce a 3D mix using our X-spat boX2 algorithms. You could request particular movements or positions for the separated mono tracks, even dynamic.
When an X-spat player user will buy your (hypothetical) SD card we will send it to him customized for his ambient.
We do not accept orders from customers without the number of speakers, their positions and the ambient size. (Each SD card will be unique, no piracy...)
The standard price is 39 Euro, the cost for us for the empty card almost 7 Euro, 16 Euro for you on your PayPal account, 16 Euro for us.

Please find in attachment the eventual SD cards distribution agreement. Do not hesitate to contact me for any question.

Best regards,

Luigi
