Listed below are questions most frequently asked by our clients. Should you have any additional questions feel free to contact us at info@mixdown.com.

1. Can you guarantee the appropriate industry will publish my new release?

No. We only provide a news distribution vehicle. It is the decision of the media outlet whether or not your news release will be published. If you need help writing a more effective press release, contact one of our media professionals by sending an email to info@mixdown.com.

2. Will you notify me when and where my news release was published?

No. It is your responsibility to monitor publications and Websites within the appropriate industry to see who has picked it up. However, a Web search on your news release title will determine if it was printed online. A print publication, on the other hand, takes more time to identify if a news release was printed.

3. What are the advantages of using MMN?

• We keep our media contacts fresh.
• We have guaranteed news syndication through several of our media partners.
• We are a trusted name for news distribution among editors and publishers.

4. Can MMN be more effective than advertising?

Yes.

• It costs less money to use MMN than to advertise (under $50.00 per release).
• MMN press release distribution gives you a greater reach than advertising.
• News stories capture attention more than an advertisement.

5. Why does MMN need to pre-approve my news release?

We need to ensure your news information is appropriate before distributing it to the proper industry. One of our media professionals will also confirm if your news release is in the proper format, is newsworthy and is free of any grammatical or punctuation errors.

6. If my release is not approved will I get my money back?

No. The cost of your submission covers both distribution and adminstrative expenses. Our media professionals still take the time to pre-approve your news release(s) therefore, we can not issue a refund of any type.

7. In the music trade, what type of news information should we distribute and how can MMN help us?

Manufacturers, Web service providers and distributors looking to announce a product or service (such as a new electric guitar, recording services or Web service) can distribute their news release under the Music Industry group. 

8. As a Musician, Record Label, or Publisher, what type of news information should I distribute and how can MMN help me?

Artists looking to announce the release of a new CD, introduce a new band member or promote a future performance can do so easily with MMN.

9. What is RSS technology?

The future of receiving news is RSS, which sometimes stands for "Really Simple Syndication". Through RSS, news, articles and other information of interest to you is served directly to your Website or Web browser instead of you having to search the entire Web for news. Technology companies, such as, Apple are already starting to integrate RSS technology into their Web browsers (click here for more information about Apple's use of RSS in their upcoming Safari release). MMN has quickly embraced this technology and is currently distributing our news to Websites, individuals, and news centers around the globe via RSS.

RSS benefits for MMN news readers:

• Quick reference news/filters - browse entire news site in-depth within seconds
• Personal news clipping - only receive the news you want
• News distribution - forward your favorite article to others easily
