DJ mixes? AudioMack started as a platform focused in Hip-hop music but branched out to other styles like R&B, Electronic and Dancehall. It is very similar to SoundCloud but has a cleaner user interface and best of all is completely free for musicians with no track limits. Whether you are a producer, singer or composer every AudioMack user can upload their tracks for consideration to get featured in their trending section, which translates to massive exposure to a wide audience. Starting in 2019 all creators will be able to monetize their work straight from AudioMack itself with no need for registering with a 3rd party distributor or publisher.
In the first row, SoundCloud was never well monetized since the very beginning. With a quite benevolent free plan, the money coming from pro plans simply wasn’t enough to cover all the operational costs and also all the lawsuits coming from major labels over copyright infringements – and a lot more of other things. Despite that SoundCloud came with a variety of strategies to get more money from their users, none of them worked particularly well, often creating more harm than good.

NoiseTrade is a Nashville, TN-based service that offers a way for independent musicians to upload their songs and share their albums with fans for free, much like SoundCloud. The platform also offers a similar feature for authors, but I didn’t quite give it any more than a cursory glance, so will refrain from making any statements about it at this stage. While the platform aimed at authors is a relatively new rollout, the service for musicians has been in existence for almost a decade, having been launched back in 2008 by American singer-songwriter Derek Webb and a few other musicians. According to NoiseTrade’s official website, the platform was “designed to help artists build their audiences by distributing free music in exchange for fan data (email & postal code)”. NoiseTrade allows artists to upload their music that can then be downloaded by fans for free. In return for their free music, fans need to signup with an email ID and a Zip/Postal code and subscribe to an optional newsletter. Fans are also encouraged to share an artist’s work on social media and can pay the artists any amount of their choosing. NoiseTrade keeps a 20% commission, so artists get to keep as much as 80% of the money they receive from their fans.
DJs: While we are in BETA, you’ll be able to download music for free. Subscriptions will be enabled once we reach 1,000 music uploads. You will be notified when we switch to the subscription-based service. Your subscription will be used to support the producers that upload their music to share with you. A small monthly subscription will allow you to download unlimited music. Every download you make will generate a commission for the artist that you downloaded from. Our profit-sharing model is revolutionary and ensures that producers are getting paid fairly. This will motivate producers to make the music you and your fans love!
