Bandcamp is a music commerce platform — artists sell finished music and merchandise directly to fans. Sinewav is a feedback and collaboration platform — producers share works in progress to get detailed critique and improve their skills. They serve different stages of the music creation pipeline.
Bandcamp takes a percentage of your sales (15% on digital, 10% on merch). Sinewav doesn't process payments — it's focused purely on the creative feedback loop. Many artists use both: Sinewav for feedback during production, then Bandcamp for release and sales.
Bandcamp focuses on fan engagement — purchases, follows, and messages. Sinewav provides producer-to-producer feedback with waveform range selection, feedback categories, Focus Mode, and version comparison. If you need detailed technical feedback on your mix, arrangement, or sound design, Sinewav is built for that.
Bandcamp connects artists with fans who want to support their music financially. Sinewav connects producers with other producers who can provide expert feedback. Different communities, different goals, but both valuable for independent musicians.
The best workflow combines both platforms:
Create your track and upload it to Sinewav as a Feedback track
Get waveform-specific feedback from the producer community
Iterate on your track, uploading new versions for comparison
When it's finished, release on Bandcamp and other platforms
