The Worshipsong Band platform is designed to be free and open, enabling a free market between churches and track producers and offering you full control of your music library without controls designed to keep your music in our Cloud or buying from our store. The most significant investment in using multitracks is the cost of the music itself. In multitrack form, a single album can cost over $400. Another big investment is your time, spent in creating and modifying sets and arrangements, and adding automation. Here are a few questions to ask when considering how a solution supports good stewardship of music resources and time:

• If I switch to another multitrack playback technology or computing platform, will I lose work or access to my music?
• Does the solution require all users of multitracks (playback, rehearsal, training) to use the same type of computer or tablet? 
• Can I use my own content, or content from different sources legally and without restrictions or rental/cloud fees?
• Can I use low cost content such as split tracks, rhythm tracks, pads, and clicks, and other loops and still provide a consistent user experience for the worship leader and band?

In addition to offering a free player for all platforms, WorshipSong Band is based on an open file format to allow our users to steward their music resources effectively. Our app works with any multitrack content you have, as well as pre-prepared content from our store or any other source you can get it from. No uploading or registration is required. You are in complete control of your library content,storage, and distribution within your worship team members. And any content you use with our app can easily be used in any playback application that uses common standard audio files (ie MP3, OGG). Our process is simple.

These multitrack sources above are listed because their content is cost effective, open for use in any application, can be used with very little effort. Other popular sources of multitracks, especiially original artist stems, are www.loopcommunity.com and www.multitracks.com, and these resources can be easily imported and used in Worshipsong Band. Each track source has different business practices, price points, and support models for track producers.  While the track producers above typically keep 80% or more of their track revenues, many track providers pay out significantly less (averaging 20%), and some engage in anticompetive practices like exclusive agreements with artists to limit competition.  We urge you to do your research before spending your money. 

And, of course, the best source we recommend is your own church or team. WorshipSong Band is a great technology to get your music out there, and the WorshipSong platform is a great way to share. Also, don't forget to check our forum, where you can share timing files for any content you wish, enabling others to benefit from your efforts.

To use content that is not already prepared, the process is straightforward. See the Adding Songs page on this site for details.
