How to Use Soundcloud to Promote Your Music

SoundCloud is a new online audio platform that lets music professionals receive, send and distribute their music. Primarily SoundCloud provides an efficient and simple way for music professionals to exchange music they are working on in private settings allowing for easy collaboration and communication prior to a public release.

Music Hack Day NYC - hacking ideas

Really looking forward to the NYC hack day! There will be plenty of
developers and other people from SoundCloud, so anyone using our API
you will get support and happy shout-outs from us.


Here is an introduction to the SoundCloud API:

The API makes it easy to upload, download and stream audio. You also
have access to related resources like comments, followings, favorites,
etc.

The documentation is available at GitHub together with links to a
bunch of API wrappers for different frameworks: https://github.com/soundcloud/api/wiki


There are two basic use cases for the API:

- Any app that generates sound can use SoundCloud to share that sound
on the web. It's also possible to get an uploaded track posted on
Facebook and Twitter.

- Any app that uses sound for playback, remix, in-data, etc. can use
SoundCloud to stream or download tracks from the database. You can
either search the database or make use of followings, genres, tags,
etc. to find content.


To illustrate how the API can be used, here's an idea for an app:

I would love to see an Audiogram (or Instasound) app, i.e. something
similar to Instagram but for audio recordings instead of photos. Users
can record and share sounds from different locations and instead of
filters you could have some nice voice effects. Each user can get a
feed of recordings from the people he follows (on SoundCloud) or
browse sounds from different locations.

This would be pretty straightforward to build with the API without any
extra web services (if it's e.g. an iPhone app):
- each user connects with SoundCloud using OAuth 2
- the app can record tracks and potentially add effects to the
recording
- each recording is uploaded to the connected SoundCloud account
together with artwork (let users take a photo) and a geo location
- the users can follow other users and get a feed of recordings
- each recording is represented with the artwork and a waveform

We'll post some more ideas in this thread…

See you soon,
Henrik
