Demmo Is Live: The Demo-Sharing Platform SoundCloud Should Have Built

After a decade of producing, I’ve shared hundreds of demos on SoundCloud and grown increasingly frustrated by its lack of private-sharing and collaboration tools. Despite endless feature requests, SoundCloud’s updates have been mostly cosmetic. We still rely on messy feedback chains, one-link sharing, and no insight into how our tracks are heard.

So I decided to build something better.

Why We Built Demmo
Every project I worked on felt like Groundhog Day:

  • One private link made it hard to remember who you sent links to, and control access.
  • No version control – dozens of files uploaded for the same song without any structure or organisation
  • Weak listening analytics – no way to see where people skipped or how much of the song they listened to.
  • Cumbersome feedback loops – email, whatsapp, discord – feedback scattered all over the show made it hard to track.

After ten years of “we hear you” and no meaningful changes, I realized that if we want better tools, we have to build them ourselves.

Meet Demmo
Demmo is the demo-sharing platform producers have always needed, designed by producers who know the pain points. Here’s what it offers:

  • Multiple unique private links
    Share different versions with collaborators or clients without risk of cross-link confusion or leaks.
  • Real-time listening heatmaps
    See exactly where listeners play, skip, or drop off so you can fix problem spots in your track.
  • Built-in LUFS meters and lossless streaming
    Upload WAV, AIFF or FLAC files and stream them in studio quality, with accurate LUFS readings.
  • Kanban boards and version control
    Organize your project stages – Work In Progress, Finished, Released etc. and store notes.
  • A/B comparisons
    Line up versions side by side to easily compare changes or differences between tracks.
  • Desktop app for automatic file syncing
    Works like Dropbox for your music folder. Any file you drop into your Demmo folder uploads automatically.

    And we’re only getting started.
