@shachargilad Thanks for the run through! That definitely helps. Looks like a lot of crossover of features but they each have their own specialty.

This seems like a popular space. There's Splice (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) which seems similar as they're both private, and Blend (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) which allows you to collaborate publicly with other artists. Not a producer, but curious how it differs to Splice.

@kunaalarya was thinking the same thing. Saw this idea proposed at a startup weekend by some musicians.

I wonder if their multi-track player support public streaming well—i.e.: could we use this to do parody projects (a la Wizard People) or review projects (Red Letter Media) or similar? Those are both audio on video, but audio on audio would be intriguing.

@kunaalarya I had the exact same question

Thanks @eriktorenberg I like Wavestack's multi-track embeddable player. That's a nice feature. There are a few companies in this general space, all positioned slightly differently: -Wavestack for backup and collaboration. -Splice for cross DAW (digital audio workstation) collaboration and Backup GitHub style. -Blend for remixing and open sourcing style collaboration and song building, as well as community focused discovery.. -Gobbler for audio backup and soon collaboration as well. -FindMySong. -Indaba music focused on remixes and competitions. -Avid (maker of Pro Tools) with 'Avid Everywhere' focusing on backup, licensing audio samples from creators, meta-data handling and others. Some of these companies are targeting professional musicians, post houses or even agencies, while others target hobbyist musicians. Some focus on the backup/archiving/file transfer solutions while others on the collaboration and music creation/remixing aspect. Some are technical back-end solutions while others (blend for example) incorporate exposure and discovery in their proposition. Interestingly most of these offer asynchronous collaboration. There was a trend a few years ago on enabling synchronous remote music collaboration, but personally I'm not sure if there is a real need for that. I do think there's a need for these types of services and potential for synergy with https://soundbetter.com We're a services marketplace for musicians, connecting musicians with professional mixing & mastering engineers, producers and session musicians. Much of the hired work happening on our platform is remote, so we're interested in the solutions these companies offer.
