Users can also monitor performance of the tracks on basis of number of times listened. Additionally, the app comes across as a veritable means for music creators to interact with others in two meaningful ways –

a. by replying to comments about their tracks

b. by following other people on the SoundCloud Pulse

This way audio podcast and music DJs not only get a huge platform on the mobile apace to highlight their recent work, but also get a chance to follow what others are doing — providing more avenues for creativity

Some of the interesting features brought about by the app include –

  • Providing the channel to interact with listeners by viewing and replying to their comments
  • Get single view of critical performance metrics about your tracks
  • Get the medium to share your tracks — either publicly or privately
  • Know more about others with like-minded interest by following them

How it works?

Users who wish to create audio, music or podcasts need to first have a SoundCloud app account. After logging into the app, the user can access a range of functionalities to upload newly created audio file, keep it sorted, and maintain their account. With this app, DJs and audio mixers can view vital stats on their beloved music, podcasts, or audio. It provides a centralized portal to let users view comment, track activity, manage community, check its playback over a period of time, and follow other SoundCloud users with the intention to expand the visibility of their audio or music.

USP of SoundCloud Pulse

The new app seeks to cash in on the immense popularity of the parent company. Ever since its launch in Sweden in 2007, SoundCloud has managed to notch up impressive numbers in terms of subscription and funding. The new audio creation app will get a ready market of 175 million unique listeners every month to help much creators share their work of passion — their music. Also, unlike other apps like Spotify, the emphasis is to allow new creative talent to emerge rather than looking at already established artists or labels.
