Wavetick has announced the launch of a beatmaker marketplace with some key unique features.
Established by former Splice exec and Sample Magic founder Sharooz Raoofi, Wavetick is a two-sided marketplace enabling the easy sale or purchase of copyright-free beats with clear, flexible terms. Producers can onboard frictionlessly to the platform and readily sell works in just seconds, and be paid instantly by connecting their Paypal account. The platform commission fee is lower than Bandcamp at just 12.5%.
Wavetick enables the sale of one-off, limited edition (1 of 10, 1of 100 and 1 of 200) and unlimited licenses of products, and sellers can set their own pricing in their own currency.
The platform allows sample packs, full stock tracks, presets and MIDI files to be sold. Buyers pay one price for ALL usages – so a track can be used restriction free in a new work without the need for any additional license fees. Products are auto-tagged by a unique purchase tier color, giving users easy to understand but robust terms for the license of their work.
Having launched in early January the site already offers more than 20,000 individual stems and sounds across 800 products. In addition the site also includes a powerhouse in-house sounds label – Wavetick Sounds, with over 40 releases covering esoteric electronic genres through to classical strings and Lofi hiphop styles.
