Hey guys,
We are working away with some back end stuff to make this happen.
We would love to get you guys to have a go at making either some samples, presets or tutorials.
We want to try and do something along the lines of the apple app store so you could upload say 10 samples and sell them for £1 or do 40 and sell for £4 or whatever.
you could make them free too if you like.
we will be doing 60/40 split in your favour going up based on sales… so if you got a whole heap of sales you get a better deal like 70/30.
we think its a great way for some of the more advanced guys to make a bit of cash and build a cool resource for the beginners.
So have a think if you could make a buch of techno loops or trance basses ort whatever… as i said it could be a small pack of like 10 samples or presets dosnt need to be huge.
Also if youve any other ideas about how this should work let us know here.
If you are interested in joining and have content ready email Content@sonicacademy.com with what content you have in what format etc. and we will add you to the beta.
Hey Phil say you have an old moog and you sample it and convert it to an ableton instrument rack like you did with the M1 piano can you sell that?
absolutely.
you could sample any hardware synths.
you should be able to sample soft synths too depending on the license.
You couldn’t sample someone else’s presets tho… they would have to be your own creation.
You could make a bunch of presets for sylenth or a Ableton Live pack… anything really that isnt stealing someone else’s work.
I assume Foley samples are fair game too?
What about preset tweakers though? What’s the situation in that regard (when is a preset tweaked enough to not be a preset anymore?).
other than that, sounds interesting.
What about you take someone elses presets and change a few parameters… Or you tak someone elses presets that are available for free AND what about written tutoriala or pieces or does it have to b video tutorials?
Not sure about the tweaking presets thing… bit of a grey area.
I guess we will operate a report abuse or copyright much like youtube. If its seems to have copyright issues it would just be taken down.
This sounds like a spiffing idea - especially since techno SA biggest seller 
How would we submit?
That would be cool.
But how would the pricing work Phil?
Set:
XX for Vids or whatever
XX for sample packs
XX for presets
Or is it based on what the originator of the content wishes?
Great idea btw… You should have a rating system on them too w. DL stats, Rating Stars & Comments.
Im going to absolutely flood the place with trance stuff even if i have to give it away its time to exterminate the techno peeps. Yes im going Dalek on this one.
Techno Lifejacket on.

We will figure out pricing during the beta… but i was thinking 10p for sample or preset and £1 for a video.
so a 20 video course would be £20
100 presets would be £10
we will be working on ratings and comments for defo.
This is interesting and I like it.
I’ve already got some tuts I can put up… need to remove them from you tube 1st I guess but I like the sound of it.
Greast idea.
Like Jan I shall also flood the place with trance stuff! Maybe not for free however, time is money after all!
Sounds like I could be sending some samples your way in a few months.
In the progress at college of making my own sample packs for my end of year project!

Mate… We’ll be holding you to that timetable.
We’ll have to start making daily threads if you dont do it!! 
It’s something I’ve never really thought about before, perhaps I could do something, will think about it.

Wayne did you get a chance to listen to that new mixdown of that remix i sent ya?
i wouldn’t mind putting together a pack with presets and midi files and maybe even audio loops, also some videos would be good
