“Can you check my mix?”€20 and five days.
Someone sends a SoundCloud link at midnight. You listen twice, hear the kick and the 808 fighting at 60 Hz, type four timestamps, and get a fire emoji back. This is the same twenty minutes with a price, a deadline and a refund if you miss it. Around it: a 45-minute call for the people who want the arrangement fixed, a Discord that runs on Feedback Friday, a free sample pack that builds the list, and one track breakdown a month with the stems attached. Beat sales stay on BeatStars.
Free to start. You keep 80%. Tracks you don't get to refund themselves at the deadline.
Refunded automatically if there's no reply by Monday 22:00
The form they fill in
instead of the DM.
Three blocks: the link, the DAW and genre with one reference, and what they want you to listen for. That is enough to answer properly and short enough that people finish it. Written is €20; the €45 video tier is for the ones who want to watch you move the faders. Cap it at fifteen a week with the spots counter and the form closes itself when your evenings are full.
Start from a blank formTimestamps and one
next step.
Four timestamps, one thing to fix per timestamp, one clear next step for the whole track. Type it or paste a screen-recorded Loom for the video tier. The inbox sorts by nearest deadline and nudges you at half-time. Miss the window and the buyer is refunded without you touching anything, which is exactly why they pay up front rather than after.

Monthly track breakdown + stems €5 / month
One of your own releases taken apart: arrangement map free, mix walkthrough and stems behind the €5 tier. The agent drafts from your session notes; you edit and send.
October — “Undertow”: why the drop is 3 dB quieter than you think
Arrangement map of “Undertow” bar by bar: 16-bar intro, two builds, the drop moved from bar 65 to 49 after the first test in the club.
Pro-Q 4's spectrum-grab on the reference, then match only below 120 Hz. Matching the whole curve is how mixes go flat.
Screen recording, 18 minutes: bus routing, the side-chain on the 808, the two automation moves that make the drop feel louder without touching the limiter.
24-bit stems for all 14 tracks and the Ableton template with the bus structure intact. Personal use, no resale.
Which track next: “Halide” or the remix? Twelve feedback slots open Monday · applyform.app/c/noa-beats/track-feedback
What the monthly issue
actually contains.
One release, taken apart. The arrangement map and one plugin tip are free, which is what gets it forwarded in the Discord. The mix walkthrough and the stems are the paid part, which is what gets it renewed. A poll for the next one and the link to the feedback slots close it. That is the whole format, once a month, and it is the same thing producer Patreons sell at $15 as their second tier.
Assisted mode means the agent drafts the issue from your session notes and last month's Feedback Friday thread; you spend twenty minutes editing instead of a weekend writing.
A Discord that runs
on one day a week.
Producer servers die when they are a feed and nothing else. The ones that keep members have one fixed moment a week where the creator shows up, one live event a month, and a reason to come back on the first. ApplyForm grants and revokes the Discord role as people pay and cancel; you run the rhythm. Anything longer than a two-minute voice note on Friday becomes a €20 form.
- FridayFeedback Friday
Members post one link each. You reply with a two-minute voice note or three timestamps. Peers reply to the rest.
- TuesdayReference-track thread
One commercial track a week, members post what they hear in the low end. Ear training that costs you a link.
- MonthlyLive mix-review call, 60 min
Three member tracks on screen, faders moving. Recorded to the archive; the reason people stay past month two.

The month's breakdown stems land in the members' channel the same day as the newsletter.
Numbers from
the market.
IQSounds charges $15 for timestamped comments, Broducer $20 written and $50 video, Fiverr gigs top out at $50 with no revisions. €20 sits in the middle of the cluster.
Label-credited producers sell a personalised video review at £49.99; Track Insight runs £49 written, £89 with video, £129 with MIDI fixes. The €45 tier is priced under all of them.
The $50 tier is the one that includes individual mix feedback on subscriber tracks. Selling that per track at €20 is the same product without the monthly commitment.
At roughly $10 each: 2,000 engaged followers is about $200 a month from a membership. The per-track form converts the other 99% one track at a time.
Only 0.6% earned more than $10,000 in 2025. The other 12.9 million are the people asking you to check their mix.
SoundBetter averages. The form is not that. It is the €20 step before it, and the €75 call is where the mix work gets quoted.
Market figures from published industry and platform data, September 2026, rounded. Your prices, volume and retention will differ.
“Won't they just want
the mix done?”
Some will, and the form says what it is: timestamps and one next step on one track, not a mix. The people who want the mix done book the €75 call, and the mix itself is quoted there and invoiced the way you already do it. Feedback is subjective, so the scope on the form is what keeps disputes rare: one track, under ten minutes, one question.
Every submission carries a release the buyer accepts before paying: non-confidential, no obligation to compensate, you may be working on similar material, and they warrant they own it. Files are never used to train anything and are deleted after the window closes. It is the same clause labels use to accept demos at all.
It does, which is why written is the default at €20 and video costs more than double. Cap the form at ten or fifteen a week. Most producers spend eight to twelve minutes on a written reply.
The buyer is refunded automatically and told why. You get a nudge at half-time and again near the end. A missed deadline costs you the €20, never your reputation.
Stop checking mixes
for a fire emoji.
Tell the agent your YouTube or SoundCloud handle. It reads your channel, proposes the track form, the call and the Discord with prices from your niche, and sets them up when you create the account.
