Audiu is a new online start-up which aims to offer producers and electronic musicians bespoke feedback on their tracks from a selection of pro artists.
Once signed up, users can select an expert reviewer from the site's 'marketplace', which is organised by style and genre, and offers bio and career info on each reviewer. Once a review has been purchased, users upload a track for the reviewer to listen to, analyses and critique. Within 72 hours, the expert then delivers a Soundcloud-like, timestamped waveform of the track, marked with advice divided into categories like Mixdown, Sound Choices, Market Appeal and Flow.
Whilst Audiu is still in its early stages, current reviewers include the likes of British producer and sound designer Dom Kane.
Audiu works on a credit-based system, with credits packs starting at £19.99, which offers users two track reviews. You can sign up to the site for free to browse the list of available experts. Visit Audiu for more info.

I'm the Managing Editor of Music Technology at MusicRadar and former Editor-in-Chief of Future Music, Computer Music and Electronic Musician. I've been messing around with music tech in various forms for over two decades. I've also spent the last 10 years forgetting how to play guitar. Find me in the chillout room at raves complaining that it's past my bedtime.
