SoundBetter – Hire Qualified Music Professionals

ss-soundbetter
The difference between an amateur singer and a professional usually has less to do with vocal skill than it does the quality of producers, mixing engineers, and other behind-the-scenes experts working with these artists. SoundBetter is a web-based platform that gives everyday people access to top recording studios and production professionals who could potentially make their dreams of stardom reality.

SoundBetter is a services marketplace that connects musicians with service providers who work in the music production industry. Put the finishing touches on that song you’ve been working on for years by searching for a professional studio with availability in your area. You can also search for audio engineers, producers, and session musicians by posting the details of your project on SoundBetter. Professionals who are interested in working with you will send their proposals via email, and you’ll be able to pay for their work securely through the web-based platform.

Communication between musicians and providers happens through dedicated project workrooms in SoundBetter, and tracks are sent digitally when they’re complete. SoundBetter doesn’t release funds until its providers are satisfied with the finished product, which gives both musicians and engineers a sense of security throughout the production process.

Practical Uses:

  • Record the song you’ve been writing for years
  • Search for a mixing engineer to work with an your next record
  • Hear what your voice sounds like after it’s been tweaked by professionals

Insider Tips:

  • Read reviews from verified clients before selecting a provider
  • Watch video tutorials about music production in the Knowledge section
  • Funds aren’t released to providers until musicians are happy with the product
