Simply fill out the form on the interactive page. We will then contact you
to verify all the info, and finalize any extra details.
Currently we operate on a "blessing" basis. If your organization
wants to sow into our ministry financially, then we welcome it;
however, we don't have any set fee. Although, We may require some
additional aid depending upon how far we have to travel to reach
your venue.
Currently, our home operation is located in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area, and we minister locally all the time. We do
believe in fulfilling the great commission of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:19 states in the words of Jesus: "go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." So, we are willing to go
anywhere to minister. The only limitations are financial, seeing
as how we are a small, independenly operated, record label. But
again, if your organization is willing to provide us with some
aid to reach you (if you are a long ways away from D.C.), then we
will definitely come. Just contact us for more info, and to spark
up a dialogue. We may not need your help, so don't let that
be a hindrance to contacting us to set up ministry
events. We've gone as far south as Florida on our own.
A couple of ways. First, you can send check or money order
addressed to Are You Ready Records at the address indicated on
our Contact Us page.
Secondly, you can go to the store and download our "Blessing"
beat and pay for it. The "Blessing" beat is simply a voice
message thanking you for your help in enabling us to further the
kingdom of God here on earth.
We aim to answer all inquiries within 2 business days.
We do not give your email address to any third parties, and you
receive no promotional mailouts unless you subscribe to our
mailing list.
We are always interested in partnering with others. However, due
to the fact that we are a Christian organization, we will have to
inspect your website before we agree. Just email us with your
site address, so we can check you out. Be sure to put "swap
links" in the title of your email.
We are always willing to listen to other people's music. Let it
be stated though, that currently we are not looking to sign any
other artists at this point in time. So, if this is your
intention, PLEASE do not
send your demo. But, if you are just looking to sow into our
ministry by sharing your musical gift, then by all means send
your demo to our address located on our Contact Us page. Please be advised that no
material will be returned to you, but if you want to ensure that
we got it, include a self-addressed stamped envelope, and we'll
drop it in the mail when we get your package.
Of Course! As a matter of fact, we encourage you to do just that.
There is a demo for each track. Our music is copyrighted and
protected, so whether you choose to buy or not, we provide an
easy place to listen to quality christian music.
We place great importance on a safe payment system for our
customers and have chosen to work with PayPal. They are the best
in their field and have received numerous Internet and Business
Awards.
This is an innovative concept. Are you a song-writer who has
lyrics, but don't have any one to put down the beats. Then we can
help. In our store, we provide complete beats for sale. Each one
is unique and different. However, if the ones we have don't
satisfy you, visit our Production
page, and fill out the form for "production", and we'll see what
we can do for you. For more detailed info, see our Production page.
No. Using PayPal, you can simply transfer money from a bank
account.
Your account is COMPLETELY private. This is why we go through
PayPal.
The only hard copy we provide is of complete cd's, but yes it is
possible. Just send a certified check or money order to the
address on the Contact Us page made out
to Are You Ready Records, and we'll send one out to you. You
DO have to pay the additional cost of shipping and
handling, as well as manufacuring. This is why we made our music
available to get online. But if you don't mind paying the
additional fees (which are stated in the store by the album) then
just follow the directions just mentioned.
No. We can provide you with a .wav format instead. Be advised
however, that a .wav file is bigger, and therefore, will have a
longer download time.
The wide acceptance of download sites show that there is a high
demand for digital music, so we provide the customer with the
ability to get high quality music without having to pay the extra
costs for packaging, manufacturing, etc. Also MP3 is the most
popular and universal format for digital music.
Once you have downloaded a track it remains available until
successfully downloaded three(3) times within 24 hours. Outside
of that it is no longer available.
Some operating systems can't handle long file names. When the MP3
is downloaded, it shortens the filename and loses the MP3
extension. If you rename the MP3, adding the extension .MP3, it
should work fine.
Plans are in the works to add additional music to the online
store. If you are an independent artist or label, and you are
interested in what we have to offer, Contact
Us. Include the title "add my music" in your email heading,
if that is how you choose to correspond.
