I really admire Edgewriter for posting the info about his book(s) here in jazzfanz, so I mimicked his title.
I'm the faculty advisor for BYU's A Cappella club and this past semester we took the plunge and recorded a CD. I was the producer. That involved auditioning groups to be on the CD, selecting songs, helping coordinate the recording, working with the sound engineer to get the sound & mix we wanted, working with a graphic designer for the album art, arranging for licensing, etc. You can ask my wife: I poured my heart and soul into this album.
End result: it turned out great! And the CD just went on sale yesterday. Here is a video I made to announce the CD, you can listen to the audio clips and see some photos/videos of the groups:

If anyone is interested in ordering, it's $12/CD. It's not on iTunes or anything like that yet, so just contact me directly if you want to order. All proceeds go towards recouping the cost of recording; neither the singers nor myself are pocketing anything. If we don't sell enough CDs, this may be a one-time thing instead of the start of an annual tradition as we hope. So it's a great album, and also for a good cause.
