Massive new update to my collaboration plugin BeatConnect

Hi Guys,

My name is Nick and I’m the creator of BeatConnect, the universal bridge between musicians. BeatConnect is a plugin which enables remote collaboration in any daw - think google docs but for music. I’ve just released a massive new update and since the Gearspace community has played such a big part in helping me get this out there I wanted to talk a bit about what’s been released, community feedback, and the future of collaboration.

Version 2.1 - Feature List

* An integrated video chat for better communication while you make music. I plan on expanding on this by saving video sessions to projects and offering live streaming

* Sample notes, comments, and reviews. Perfect for keeping track of what needs to be done in a project.

* A ton of usability enhancements such as global undo/redo, lasso select tool, ability to lock samples so others don’t manipulate them, additional keyboard shortcuts for editing, and better trackpad support

* A redesign with a sick new skin and sample colours

* An endless amount of fixes and optimizations

The first version of BeatConnect was launched in February and you guys helped me grow a great community and are actively shaping the product every day. The features I’ve listed above are all things that have been asked for by many people so I think things are getting solid and exciting. Is it perfect? Nope. There are still bugs in there, and I know Logic doesn’t handle BC very well (I’m working on it, I snuck in some experiments into this build). However I think it’s going in the right direction.

Pricing - one time, no subscription.

Finally, something important to talk about is price. When I launched it initially I received a lot of feedback and backlash over the subscription model. Well, I’ve heard you, and it’s gone - if you want premium access to all the features a lifetime membership is a one-time no nonsense fee of 29.95. Furthermore, there is a free non-expiring trial available to everyone, and also, if even just ONE person in the studio has premium, it will unlock the features and benefits for everyone participating.

SAAS is getting tired and played out. I think we can survive and thrive by bringing in killer modules and optional add-ons that you can purchase similar as you would DLC in a video game. I just want people using it and having fun, and to have the opportunity to keep working and building the product which I always wished existed.

If you want to encourage development go ahead and pick up the premium pack, make some beats with friends, and hop on the discord to chat with me any time. There’s some KILLER items in the roadmap that are coming very soon but I'm sure you guys have great ideas too so please share and let's get this thing together!
