Collaborating with other artists can be rewarding, but the logistics of doing so online are often challenging, and can lead to a lot of wasted time. Here, we look at a more efficient way for musicians to work together in a virtual capacity.

How to use Notetracks to streamline your online music collaborations.

If you’re anything like me, long-distance music collaboration can be a nightmare of scattered messages: emails, texts, DMs, Dropbox or Drive links, and even Marco Polos.

And when I say “nightmare,” I mean for my collaborators; I send them feedback in whatever way is most convenient in the moment.

They pick up the pieces (and quietly hate me).

Worse, when I’m paying those collaborators, any extra time they have to spend making sense of my scattered messages is on my dime.

Get better and faster results when collaborating on music.

Prior to the pandemic, loads of music was already being created via long-distance collaboration; but lockdowns and distancing has accelerated online music-making and increased our need for good collab tools.

With Notetracks, you can streamline your collaborative conversations with producers, beatmakers, mixing engineers, remixers, topline singers, or session players.
