YOUR SONGWRITING LIFEIS SCATTEREDEVERYWHERE.
There have never been more places to create, share, discuss and promote music.
But the journey of the song itself can end up spread across all of them.

SONGWRITING TOOLS
Excellent specialist creative tools — but only one part of the journey.
PROMOTION / FEEDBACK SERVICES
Useful ways of reaching listeners, curators or industry contacts — but often campaign/submission-oriented rather than the ongoing home of the song.

SOME COST MONEY.
SOME COST NOTHING.
ALL SOLVE A DIFFERENT PIECE.
Cost is only part of the story. Even free platforms can mean another account, another community and another place where part of your creative journey lives.
AND THE SPECIALIST TOOLS CAN ADD UP.

- BandcampFree artist account / Pro $10 per month
- MasterWriter$9.95/month

WAS THE CENTRE?
A DIFFERENT STARTING POINT / TRAKBAK
START WITH
THE SONG.
TrakBak was designed around what happens to a song as it develops — not simply where it ends up when it's finished.

A COMMUNITY BUILT ON REAL CONNECTIONS
REAL PEOPLE.
REAL MUSIC.
REAL CONNECTIONS.
Your music deserves to be heard by people, not bots.
TrakBak is built around genuine human participation. We don't use bots to inflate plays, generate artificial likes or manufacture engagement to make the platform appear busier than it really is.
When someone listens to your Trak, leaves FeedBak or joins a conversation, we want that interaction to mean something.
Because a hundred genuine listeners are worth more than a thousand artificial plays.
No platform-generated fake plays. No engagement bots. Just a community of people who care about music.
REAL LISTENERS
Music discovered by people, not artificial traffic.
MEANINGFUL FEEDBAK
Genuine conversations that help songs grow.
AUTHENTIC ENGAGEMENT
No platform-generated fake plays or likes.

06 / THE TOOLS YOU LOVE
WE'RE NOT TRYING
TO REPLACE YOUR DAW.
Your DAW remains part of your workflow. Keep using the tools and platforms that already work for you. Create and produce in your DAW. Your distributor can distribute your music. Your favourite platforms can still help you share it with the world.
TRAKBAK CONNECTS MORE
OF WHAT HAPPENS AROUND THEM.THE JOURNEY
OF THE SONG ITSELF.
MORE THAN SOFTWARE
SOME THINGS
NEED PEOPLE.
Other songwriters. Musicians. Collaborators. People willing to listen to something unfinished and help another creator take it further.
FEEDBAK.COLLABORATION.ENCOURAGEMENT.PERSPECTIVE.
A song moves forward through ideas, conversations, shared work and the people who care enough to take part.
Community isn't something bolted onto TrakBak. It's part of the creative process.07 / PARTICIPATION
