Frequently Asked Questions

What are you going to create?

For Creators:

  • What if my background isn't in audio production?
    We welcome creators from all fields and backgrounds! Level of experience in audio production will vary but we have plenty of resources to help you along the way. Check out examples from creators who published audio tours for a street festival in Chicago, an outdoor opera in Harlem, a restaurant crawl in Queens, and an augmented reality concert in Upper Manhattan.
  • How long does the production process usually take?
    Producing an audio walk varies depending on the project. From our experience it can take anywhere between 2-10 weeks. However, many factors are involved and you have total control over audio production, sound design, etc. for your project.
  • Is this only for individual creators or can groups and organizations use the tool as well?
    We welcome individuals, groups, local organizations, brands - we're open to all possibilities!
  • Which cities can I create content in?
    You can create content in any city you'd like! When you’re ready to share your tour with the world, you will receive a unique URL that connects to Gesso’s web store, and you can share this with others as you promote your tour. Listeners can also search for your tour within the Gesso mobile app.
  • How long does the audio tour need to be?
    The total duration is up to you, but the overall length is usually between 45-60 minutes total. Each individual stop along the audio tour is usually a few minutes (less than 5).
  • What devices would my audio tour be compatible with?
    Gesso is available on iOS and Android!
  • Can I charge for my content?
    Yes! You can publish both free and paid tours via Gesso.  If you are publishing a free tour, Gesso’s creator platform is free for you to use and you can publish multiple free tours without any fees.  If you are publishing a paid tour, you can charge $11.99 or $17.99 for your tour. When you set a price in your creator dashboard, a message will appear that gives you additional instructions about how to set up your payment information and explains important information about any small fees that might be associated with your paid tour.
