If you love making music and sharing it with the world (and, let's be honest, making a few bucks along the way), you've probably tried or heard about music websites where you can upload and sell your own tunes. And with a Central Hive full of musicians, trust us: we've seen and tried most of them, too. Many sites offer high registration fees, low profits, ongoing hosting fees and set prices — not too much of an incentive to share your stuff.
But when we found TheTrackShack. com, we were more keyed up than seeing our favorite band play a second encore on the last night of their tour. At TheTrackShack, artists and musicians can set their own prices and get an 80/20 split on sales, compared to the $3-5 and up other sites keep per sale, regardless of price. And we were really excited to hear bands can upload individual production tracks for sale – like just the lead guitar or a song's full mix minus vocals – making it easy for people to remix their songs, sing karaoke to their hits, or, as the TheTrackShack likes to put it, "Frankenstein their music." Jeff Tamelier, co-founder of TheTrackShack, thinks of it as "making your music by the mile and selling it by the inch." Sounds good to us.
