Kadenza is a collaboration platform for musicians and their teams. We empower creators with software tools we loved to use while building products at SF Tech Companies. Our mission is to empower creators whose collaboration is reliant on emails.
Hey!
My name is David. My Cofounder Aneesh and I are the makers of Kadenza. I left my tech job in San Francisco to produce music and quickly noticed how difficult it was to share audio and large “stem” files, get feedback on my work, and project manage my music from demo to final iterations without paying for redundant software subscriptions.
Unfortunately, not many musicians earn a living wage from their releases yet pay over $1000 per single between writing, production, mixing, and mastering. With Kadenza we wanted to improve the music workflow in a way that didn’t require stitching together expensive subscriptions like Dropbox, Trello, SoundCloud, and WeTransfer. We seek to build products for musicians that often resort to group texts, long email threads, and individual link sharing to manage their work.
Some of the features we included in v1:
1. Editable Share Links - Send a single link to your music that you can add/remove files or modify permissions on.
2. Customizable Share Link Permissions: Create links to your music that are comment-only or fully include download and upload.
3. Activity Feed Notifications - Get automatic updates when collaborators leave feedback on your music
Lossless audio streaming - No audio compression so that this tool is efficient for mixing feedback.
We look forward to your feedback, but specifically:
• What are the main issues with the app that we should focus on?
• What features should we add in to make the product more valuable to musicians?
Any advice that can help us improve is appreciated. Our only goal is to build a workspace for musicians to use alongside their instruments. We intend to eventually create a paid product for music teams/power users while keeping it free for individual musicians.
Thanks so much,
David Chengazhacherril
Wow I absolutely love this! I love how you combined the core features of Trello, Dropbox, and Soundcloud to create a productivity tool that aims to make musicians' jobs easier.
It seems so simple, but you did an excellent job in building it in a way that makes it intuitive. I am not a musician so not exactly your targeted audience, but I love seeing people building for musicians.
Great job on building and launching this!
@andrew_tsao Appreciate that! As you mentioned, the goal was to stitch together some of my favorite tools from the software world into a single tool for musicians. Thanks for making the time to check it out :)
