A music community built on creator tools

Play your songs for other musicians.

Bounce is a platform for human-made music, built for creators who want their music to be heard and appreciated.

Get real feedback from real people

Nobody here is rating you. They are telling you what they hear, in the moment they hear it.

“This synth sounds like a blanket that's been pre-warmed by a loved one”
“Sounds like I'm getting raptured”
“Love the lead guitars, so don’t change those!”
“ohh cool. How did you make those vocal effects?”
“lush and filthy at the same time”
“Love hearing works in progress in these open mics”

Upcoming Bounce Lounge sessions

Bounce Lounge sessions give everyone a chance to share their music and feel the love. Everyone's in the chat. If you want to play something of yours, have it uploaded before the room opens.

Every weekday, 12 to 1pm ET

Open Swim

Rotating host DJs, open to all. Drop in, request a song, connect and hang. Bring a rough mix or demo — that's what it's for.

Feedback Lounge: Share Unfinished Songs with Andy Fry

Built on powerful creator tools.

We love to make music with our friends but were frustrated using Dropbox, SoundCloud and endless emails and texts. So we built something better.

One account, many projects

In a band, a duo and a solo project? Manage them all from one login. Each gets its own collaborators and library.

Our why: Music projects make and sustain friendships

Jeb Banner
Bounce founder Jeb Banner

Most of the people I make music with I've known since high school or college. The friendships lasted because the projects did — a reason to get on a call, a reason to drive four hours, a mix sitting there waiting for somebody to say something about it.

That gets harder. Kids, jobs, four time zones. What holds it together is having something you're both still working on.

That's what we built Bounce for. The songs are a byproduct of friendship.

How I use Bounce

Free, and not the kind of free that runs out in a week.

10 songs per artist, free forever. If you outgrow it, plans start at $5 a month.

“To be able to work on a few projects simultaneously, to listen to mixes on the go, to easily collaborate with others all from inside the Bounce space has been amazing.”
