Abbey Road + SoundCloud

At SoundCloud we’re always trying to push the boundaries of what you can do with your music on the web. That doesn’t always mean building flashy iPhone apps, working with browser-based audio tools or giving you more widgets. Sometimes, as a music professional, you just need to get your music to the places where it always needed to be but in a much easier way. So we’re very proud to announce our working partnership with one of the most prestigious music destinations in the world: Abbey Road Studios.

We’ve partnered with Abbey Road’s Online Mastering service to allow you to seamlessly send your audio to Abbey Road directly from SoundCloud with just a couple of clicks. Never before has it been this simple to get your music in the hands of the world’s best mastering engineers and have it worked on with the same type of equipment that was used to add the final magic touches to classic albums such as The Beatles’ ‘Abbey Road’ and Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’.

Simply sign up at Abbey Road’s Online Mastering site then connect your SoundCloud account. Abbey Road have built the integration using our ‘Connect With SoundCloud’ feature to make the flow extremely straight-foward for users. Once connected you can just search and select the tracks in your account that you want to be mastered. SoundCloud and Abbey Road do all the rest!

We’ve not only made it super simple, we’re also giving all SoundCloud users a 20% discount to use the service. All you need to do is type the code ‘CLOUD9‘ into the correct box whilst making payment to make the saving. Enjoy! And let us know what you think.
