SoundCloud

SoundCloud is an online audio platform that lets music professionals receive, share & distribute their music. Primarily SoundCloud provides an efficient and simple way for music professionals to exchange music they are working on in private settings allowing for easy collaboration and communication prior to a public release. With SoundCloud, music professionals can easily share & receive large amounts of tracks without cluttering their email inbox, having to make use of generic file sending services or manage their own server. For people who deal with music on a regular basis, SoundCloud increases efficiency and improves their work flow by allowing them to focus on the music and not think about the actual files.

More and more I keep getting sent soundcloud mixes so I thought I’d share one with you;.
