SoundBetter
Music Services Marketplace
SoundBetter is the leading marketplace where musicians find and hire music production professionals.
In recent years millions of musicians have become recording musicians due to accessibility of recording equipment. This is a huge shift. More music is being recording than ever before. At the same time music distribution has been democratized thanks to SoundCloud, Apple Connect and Bandcamp.
However there is a gap between recording and distribution. Recording is only the first step of the process, and every song that is recorded needs to be mixed, mastered and produced by skilled professionals. That’s millions of songs every year.
SoundBetter is disrupting a $15B/year inefficient music-production services market by connecting musicians with vetted professional mixing & mastering engineers, producers, singers and other production pros who get musicians to a great sounding finished product. SoundBetter is democratizing the last mile that musicians needed democratizing.
