Do you want to make music but don’t have the necessary equipment? Would you like it if you could create music regardless of where you are?
What if you are just getting started and you are wary of investing in expensive music production gear?
You can get started with Soundtrap by Spotify.
Spotify has a whopping 32% market share in the music streaming industry. Staying well on top of Apple Music, Pandora, and many others, Spotify almost takes it on itself to democratise the music streaming industry.
It also owes it to itself to make it easier for musicians, music technicians, and music artists to produce, manage, and share their music with the rest of the world.
That’s why Soundtrap was born.
Soundtrap is a free, easy-to-use online platform that can help. It was created by Spotify and has features that enable users to record live sessions with musicians in other countries.
Soundtrap is a web-based application that supports live collaboration, and it can be used to create tracks in various genres.
It has tight integration with Spotify so you can access all of the tunes on their platform, plus there are other features for mixing and mastering your song once you’re finished composing it.
