MetaPop – a new way to make money out of bootleg remixes
MetaPop created by the former Beatport founder, Matt Adell is a new way to make money out of bootleg remixes.
Adell referenced MetaPop as a “global remix tracking monetization and amplification platform.”
Many up and coming producers enjoy doing remixes of popular songs since it’s a great way to market themselves in the world of electronic dance music. The problem arises when it comes to licensing the song, since it’s a bootleg version of the original. What this often results in is the remixed track being taken down on streaming sites such as Soundcloud.
It may have just solved this problem with a new and simplified take on the issue. The app aims to make music rightfully and legally available to other artists to use for remixes.
As a musician you can upload your music to MetaPop and once you do this you are giving the go ahead for any and all to remix it however they choose.
As a remixer, you can get onto MetaPop with thousands of different tracks to choose from and you will also have the all clear from the original producer.
Once you have done your desired remix, you upload it to MetaPop and the track is also uploaded to YouTube which will make the track available to a wide global audience.
When remixes are uploaded to MetaPop, musicians and record labels will be able to check them out and select their favourites. If they choose to, they could easily distribute those remixes far and wide to other streaming sites such as Spotify and Apple Music.
The money starts to happen once the remixes are being played on these monetized streaming platforms. The profits are split like this, 70% goes to the creator of the original song, 15% goes to the remixer, and 15% goes to MetaPop.
