This app is also a DAW. It must foremost be a platform musicians come to create on because of its unique format - 4 track audio. However, musicians have no problem creating 4-track audio in the form of "stems" from their pre-existing DAW sessions. They will just have to export 4 mono files instead of 1 stereosummed file. So creators can upload stems of their existing songs to the platform if they want to. However, every user also has access to a digital version of a 4-track portastudio. The analog recording format of a "cassette" translates into a bit of cloud storage for the creators to put their music on. And with NFT technology, creators are able to create valuable products that can be sold and re-sold while ensuring they are compensated at every future transaction. This creates enromous incentive for creators to create/distribute on this platform.<p>3 - Marketplace
This app is also a distributor. Users are given a digital 4-track machine like any other actor. The beauty of the 4-track machine after all is its ability to record and playback the recordings. They are given a blank cassette to which they can record too, just like a creator. However, they can also buy "cassettes" from their favorite musicians. Why would they buy music from them when they can go on Spotify? What if they would like to mute the vocals because they find it hard to listen to music with lyrics while working on their essay? They find the drums too loud and want to lower the volume of just that track. They want to own merchandise from their favorite bands that will go up in value over time without having to buy a physical product.<p>This is my idea for a music streaming platform that can benefit creators and users alike. I would love to hear any thoughts and particularly if there are any players already working in this space!<p>Thanks.
