Songtree is an online platform, accessible through the Android, iOS and web apps, that connects musicians and allows them to create music collaboratively. By posting a Custom Music project, you can ask Songtree musicians to work on a specific project, for a budget that you set in advance. On Songtree, a song is made by the contribution of various artists who add their instrument or performance. This means that different musicians may be involved in the creation of the commissioned piece.
For example, you may be looking for a short video soundtrack, and can't find the right track among royalty free libraries and sample packs. Or, you may be after that extra character and uniqueness that is rarely found in production-ready music. By posting your project to Songtree Custom Music, you allow real musicians to create proposals for your work. Songtree facilitates them in finding and helping each other - and in sharing the profits in a fair manner if their work is successful - and you get an original composition, crafted on purpose for your project at a competitive price.
The service is managed by n-Track Software, the software house behind the Digital Audio Workstation n-Track Studio and various other music desktop and mobile apps. In 2015 Songtree was launched as an effort to make music production a more social process, allowing beginner musicians to start creating with others without knowledge of recording software or without an established network of fellow musicians. Professional or semi-professionals, instead, find in Songtree an opportunity to establish new connections, gain more fans and status among the Songtree community, or expand their horizons by playing with a greater variety of musicians around the world.
Since the introduction of the Custom Music service professional or more advanced musicians can also collaborate to create projects for paying customers, and share the revenues. This allows them to get more commissioned work and to deliver it more efficiently thanks to the help of others.
