How it Works
Downloading - Listening to Tracks and Samples
Anyone can download a track or sample while a project is in process.
After a project completes the final mix phase it will be included for sale on the Buy Music page through a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Shared Media Licensing.
A visitor to the site can listen to any track or mix currently in Seed Track or Active Project status free.
Tracks are not listed by genre because it is impossible to tell what the final form of a song may take.
Completed songs that have entered the digital distribution system are available on the Buy Music page. Visitors may listen 3 times free and support the artists by purchasing the track.
Uploading seed tracks.
Registered Artists may upload an original track on the seed track page. A producer can then choose to use that track as the base of a project.
Format is WMA or MP3 or whatever turns your crank.
Not every track submitted will necessarily result in inclusion in a project.
You may choose to be the producer for your seed track's project, or allow someone else to produce. We have found that some people just want to play and they aren't interested in producing the project themselves.
Uploading - Auditioning a Track
Available only for Registered Artists
Download the track from the project for which you wish to audition.
Using your PC based recording software. Add your recorded track. Mix down the tracks and save them in wma or mp3 format. The bit-rate should always be maintained at 192 or better for quality purposes.
Upload the modified file to the project.
An e-mail is sent to all the contributing artists to let them know that a new track has been uploaded.
You may be asked to post a solo track for further work.
The process repeats till the composition is complete and ready for Final Mix.
Samples
Some Musicians prefer to upload a sample rather than a fully structured song.
An audition can be a single track that is inspired by the sample.
It may take several single track auditions before the Seed Track has enough "structure" to make it ready to accept the mixing in of additional tracks - These decisions are made by the project producer.
Lyrics
Open to all Logged in Artists
Any Logged in Artist may upload original song lyrics to be used in a collaboration project.
Artists may create a project and begin the process by uploading lyrics as a "Seed Track"
The Final Mix*
Available to all Registered Artists.
Once the project's producer is satisfied with the rough mix, he/she will ask the artists to upload a clean single track to the "Solo Tracks" folder on the project page. This may be in .wav format or in some other audio format at the discretion of the producer.
The Solo tracks are then downloaded, mixed, and re-uploaded.
Once the participants are satisfied with the final mix, the project manager will mark the project as complete.
