The Unique Features of CWXP

To Do’s: Pre-Event
To ensure a smooth experience of your live performance it is essential that you execute the following 5 steps before the event:
1. Asset Upload: Live Video
Your Live Performance will be pre-recorded to ensure a smooth experience for everyone. Still for your fans it will seem like a live performance.
We ask you to upload the Live Video at least three weeks before your event through the drive folder in this form. Additionally we encourage you to create a Youtube Premiere and provide us with the link to it. This is how Youtube Premieres work.
The video should have the following requirements:
Format: mp4 (H264), 1080p
Bitrate: 4000 kbps
Frames per second: 24 to 60
Audio: Multi-channel recording, mixed audio, stereo, 44.1 or 48kHz Sample Rate
2. Asset Upload: Promotional Content (incl. NFTs)
To highlight you as an artist and let fans know who you are, we need some promotional content from your side to upload to the Metaverse Space. This includes press pics, links to your social media, NFTs, and a short press text. Make sure your content is engaging and accurately represents your artist brand.
Upload all the promotional content at least three weeks before your event through this form.
3. Explore the Metaverse Space
The objective is to familiarize yourself with the CWXP platform to enhance audience interaction. Visit cwxp.io, enter your name, and click connect to access a tutorial on navigating your avatar. Explore features like moving your avatar, using chat, clicking links and NFTs for external websites, and traversing portals, particularly to the music stage where your live set will be uploaded for a shared celebration with your audience.
4. Recommended Hardware and Software
For a smooth Metaverse exploration before the event, ensure your setup includes:
A desktop or laptop (no mobile devices),
A stable Wi-Fi with Ethernet,
A recommended browser like Chrome,
At least an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and dedicated graphics with 2GB.
If your setup doesn’t meet these specifications, try lowering the graphics settings in the Metaverse space. Not fulfilling all requirements doesn’t mean it won’t work but it will give you the best chances to ensure a smooth experience. It’s also wise to share these requirements with your fans for optimal experience.
5. Pre-Event Marketing
The success of your virtual concert on CWXP begins way before the first note is played. To ensure a vibrant audience, it’s
essential to collaborate on the pre-event marketing strategy.

To Do’s: During the Event
Arrive 30 minutes early to interact with fans before your live performance, and maintain the live illusion by not engaging during the show.

Also, promote the event on your social media with recordings or screenshots to attract more attendees.
To Do’s: Post-Event

Exploit the content created during your performance for post-event promotion.Share insights from your Metaverse experience with your fans. Keep on exploring the Metaverse and its different options.
