We only use what the site needs to work. Some extras, like YouTube videos and the chat and music widgets, may set their own cookies. Is that OK?
Play live on the BeatenTrack YouTube channel. Fans can send Super Chats while you play, and we split them 50/50 with your band.
Why bother?
You're playing anyway. Going live lets friends, family and new fans watch from anywhere and support you, with no extra gear and no extra hassle.
Added to your Front Room booking. No setup fee, no YouTube account needed.
Viewers can send Super Chat donations during the stream. Half goes to your band.
Every local band streams on the same channel, so your viewers find other bands and their viewers find you.
How it works
Pick Livestream in the session builder. Add drum mics or full multitrack if you want better sound.
Book online and pick your VID code from the Extras list. We set up the cameras and mics before you arrive.
Share the BeatenTrack channel link with your friends and followers so they're there when you go live.
You go live on YouTube. We send the link by WhatsApp/SMS to whoever booked, so you can share the video afterwards too.
In the Front Room
The biggest room in the studio, wired for filming.
What's next
The studio grows a bit at a time, paid for by the bands who use it. Here's what's planned.
Cameras and mics in all three rooms, so any band can stream or record.
A small stage behind the studio with proper lights and a few seats, for solo acts and small bands to play and stream.
Your songs on the local bands player, your own band page, and clips from your sessions to share.
Questions
No. Everything goes out on the BeatenTrack channel, so you don't need an account or any setup.
Not at the moment. Keeping every band on one channel means more viewers for everyone, because people who come to watch one band discover the others.
Viewers can send a paid message during the live stream. Whatever comes in during your stream is split 50/50 between your band and the studio.
Only the Front Room for now. More rooms are planned.
No problem. Audio-only and video recordings are in the session builder, and you choose whether the video is public, unlisted or private.

We're upgrading! The website and studio are being updated right now, so a few services might not work quite as intended. Thanks for bearing with us while we iron everything out.
