This site/service is new to me, but hoping to share it anyway because it is such a fabulous idea. It has been described as the Vimeo or Flickr for music pros. Came across it when I saw an article claiming it just surpassed 1 million users worldwide. Pretty impressive for any type of service, but even more so when you consider these are people contributing musical content.

Just a couple of great features that I came across…

• You can create drop boxes to place on your own site. This allows artists to easily send sound files such as demo tracks to producers and labels.


• No limits on files sizes!


• You can add notes right in specific instances on tracks using the visual that represents the audio clip.

I wonder if people are using this service the same way that we use a Flickr to find and source imagery for comps as inspiration or perhaps as final art? See the video below for a quick tour of the entire service.
