Erica,

I added your name to the private beta, so you should be able to get in, create an account, and viva la MixMatch! There is no ecommerce in place yet, but there will by our september launch. Please let me know what you think of the site!

Hey Gavroche,
I dropped by your site (mixmatchmusic) and it seems like a good idea. But I see you’re currently working at private beta.
Any chance I can check out the site before it gets public? I left there my email address.

Erica,

Don’t let the bureaucracy discourage you! Youlicense is a good way to make some money. Have you tried musync.com?

I’ll definitely have more tips coming on this blog, but are there any specific things you want me to cover?

Btw, if you’re looking for a good way to make some money of your stems (each part of the song), check out mixmatchmusic.com. This is a site that I have co-founded and it lets you 1) collaborate with people online and sell these collaborations and 2) upload all your stems and get paid when people use them. It’s all non-exclusive!
