How it works

Idea in,
finished split out.

Five steps from finding a loop to a beat that has sold, with the loop's owner on the split before anyone calls it finished.

    Discover a loop

    Browse by genre, style, mood, tempo or key — or by what a loop is still missing. Listening costs nothing and needs no account.

    Send a collaboration request

    Say what you'd bring to it and send. Requests are always free — there is no price field on one anywhere in the product.

    Work in a private room

    An accepted request opens a room for exactly two people: live chat, and the loop in full quality to download. The first download swaps both producers' credits and contact details automatically — at the moment it starts to matter, not weeks afterwards.

    Make the beat and sell it

    Build the loop into a finished beat and put it out however you normally would — straight to an artist, or listed on a marketplace like BeatStars. Then say which of the two it was.

    Put the loop's owner on the split

    You attest that you registered their share; they check it and confirm. Two attestations close the collaboration on their own — there is no button to press, and nothing further to upload.

What ColabLoop doesn't do

Worth knowing before you sign up, not after.

We don't take a cut

ColabLoop is not a party to your split and takes no percentage of anything you make. The only money that changes hands here is you buying upload quota from us.

Questions producers ask first

What does it cost to collaborate?
Nothing. Browsing, previewing, messaging a producer, sending a collaboration request, the private room, the chat and the full-quality download are all free. The only thing that uses your quota is publishing a loop of your own.
How do I get verified?
Sign up, then submit the profile you sell from — BeatStars, Airbit, Soundee, Traktrain, Bandcamp or another marketplace. We give you a short code to put in that profile's bio, and someone on our team opens it and checks. It is a manual review, so it is not instant, and there is no way to skip the queue.
How are credits and splits confirmed?
The first time the full file is downloaded, both producers' credits and contact details are exchanged automatically. At the end, each of you attests separately that the loop's owner is on the split — and the second attestation closes the collaboration by itself. Nobody can quietly call it done without you, and if the owner looks and finds the split isn't right, they can send it back with a reason instead of accepting.
What is the copyright check?
Every upload is fingerprinted against commercial releases before it goes live. A clean result publishes straight away; a match is rejected and never appears publicly; anything the check can't decide is held for a person to review. The first flagged upload is a free warning and returns to your quota automatically. The second deducts 1 upload from your quota. The third pauses your account for manual review — and can end in a permanent blacklist. No one is ever banned automatically; a person always decides.
Do I need an account to browse?
No. Browsing, filtering and previewing loops all work signed out. You need an account to send a collaboration request, publish a loop, or open a collaboration room.
