Sherman Oaks-based startup, AudioMicro, a user-generated micro stock music platform, announces the rollout of several new features today. The company, who recently launched in May, sells short music clips and sound effects to stock music buyers like online video creators, video game developers, music supervisors or webmasters.
With the subscription package (comes in 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year packages), users are allowed to download 25 tracks per day. All songs normally go for $1 per minute, with the new subscription packages going for $299, $799, and $2999, respectively.
AudioMicro recently partnered with AE Music Publishing Archive, adding 1,000 compositions from 8 composers. AE’s composers have won multiple Grammys and has had their music appear on ABC, MTV, ESPN, HBO and FOX. At the same time, they also announced a partnership with decorated sound designer Ric Viers, who has uploaded 15,000 of his sound effects.
For a limited time, AudioMicro will be providing a 50 cent cash advance to all producers or sound designers for their submissions. Contributors receive a 50% royalty fee for each track sold non-exclusively, and 60% for each sold exclusively. They currently have 5,700 music tracks and 15,000 sound effects.
In addition to the subscription package, AudioMicro now allows users to translate portions of the site into English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
User-generated content and online media is not going anywhere anytime soon. Keeping this in mind, this self-funded startup may be around for awhile. The site is easy to use and offers a wide variety of content to its users. The site could be organized a little better, and there should be some sort of a recommendation or discovery tool. But besides that, they are right where they should be. They have bootstrapped so far, and are currently looking for funding.
