Welcome to the world of HD Surround Music!

My name is Mark Waldrep. I founded and run a small media label that speciailizes in recording and releasing music that can elevate your listening experience beyond anthing that you've ever heard before. AIX Records is the name of the label that I started about 7 years ago. The thing that makes our tracks different than the stuff that you hear on the radio, on your iPod or even on your CD player is that we don't follow the usual recording studio techniques [I teach the subject at a SoCal university and have worked in professional studios for years]. Instead AIX Records captures "live" performances using multiple stereo pairs of microphones in a performace space...but without any audience. We mix the results in a couple of 5.1 surround sound perspectives and make them available on DVDs. I think we're the only label on the planet that doesn't release anything on CDs...they just can't deliver the kind of fidelity and immersive experience that has won AIX Records a loyal following and lots of awards.

I'm completely new to the world of blogs...although I do know what they are. This one is going to be my opportunity to share my passion for music, my desire to advance the art of recording through new technologies and spread the word that the music industry is not the end all, be all of recorded music.

If you're curious already...you can visit www.aixrecords.com and get ahold of our FREE sampler. One listen and I think you'll find that music in surround and high definition is the only way to go.
