Selective access on your terms.

Imagine if Spotify, Mix with the Masters, and MasterClass had a baby. That's roughly what we're building.

Except instead of just listening to or learning from your favorite artists, you can actually work with them.

Take brings discovery, mentorship, feedback, and real creative collaboration into one place.

We're intentionally building a smaller, more selective community of established artists and music professionals. Whether you're looking to book a session, get feedback on a track, learn from someone you admire, or pitch your next collaboration, Take makes that possible.

SoundBetter is great for hiring music professionals. We're building something that goes beyond hiring.

Think less freelancer directory. More direct access to the people behind the music you love.

Fair question. And technically, yes. But hear us out.

You bring the talent. We build the tools, experience, and marketplace that help people discover you, connect with you, and pay you.

Our standard platform fee is just 8%. Eligible Founding Partners receive a temporary platform-fee waiver under the program terms below.

We're not here to take credit for your work. We're here to help you find more of it.

And if you don't get booked? You don't pay us just for existing.

Your talent is the product. Our job is to make it easier for the world to access it.

We're building Take with artists, not just for them.

Eligible artists enrolled in the Founding Partner Program pay a 0% Take platform fee during the program’s shared promotional period: three calendar months from Take’s official paid launch. After that, the standard 8% Take platform fee applies.

If you join after the promotional period has started, you receive the time remaining, rather than a new three-month period. Your invitation will confirm your eligibility and dates.

We want your perspective and feedback as we build Take. The reduced fee is temporary; it isn’t a promise of permanent preferential terms.

Absolutely not. In fact, that's part of why we're building Take.

We don't think an artist's career, reputation, or creative value should be reduced to a price tag next to a "Book Now" button.

Maybe you want to offer mentorship. Maybe you want to hear unreleased music from emerging producers. Maybe you're open to collaborations, but only when the right project comes along.

You decide what access to your world looks like.

Your name. Your work. Your rules.

Nope. This isn't a hostage situation.

You decide which opportunities make sense for you, what services you offer, and who you work with.

Getting a request doesn't mean you're obligated to accept it.

Your time and creative energy belong to you. We're just making it easier for the right opportunities to reach you.

Then don't.

Not every interaction needs to be a paid studio session.

You might want to offer feedback, share industry knowledge, mentor emerging artists, or invite submissions for potential collaborations.

Take is designed to support different kinds of creative relationships, not force every artist into the same business model.

You decide how you want to participate.

Because we're more interested in building the right community than the biggest one.

We're intentionally curating the artists and professionals who join Take so the experience stays focused, credible, and genuinely useful.

It's not about follower counts or being famous.

It's about the quality of your work, your experience, and what you bring to the community.

Quality over quantity. Every time.

Of course.

We're not asking you to delete your website, abandon your existing clients, or dramatically announce your departure from every other platform.

Take is another way for people to discover and work with you.

Your career is yours. We're just hoping to become a valuable part of it.

Not at all.

We care more about what you've created than how many people follow you.

Some of the most talented people in music spend their time making records, not making content.

Credits, experience, creative quality, and professionalism matter far more to us than a blue checkmark.
