Frequently asked questions
- What happens if I collaborate on an event with other artists and one of the artists fails to show up or perform?
-
Non-performing artists forfeit their share of the rewards, and they would be split among the artists that did perform. In the event that only one of the artists performs (in other words it ends up becoming a single artist event), the 20% bonus would be canceled, and the sole artist would be awarded the base rewards that they are entitled to per the above chart.
- What happens if I have to postpone my event?
-
No problem, event date and time can be changed directly from the event management system, and any RSVP'd guests will automatically be notified of the change via e-mail.
- How does livestreaming work? Do I need special software?
-
You do not need any special software to livestream your event. Your SoundClub has built-in livestreaming capabilities that are easily activated, however, you will need a stream key from whichever service you will be streaming to (e.g. Facebook, Twitch, Youtube)
- Can I host or participate in multiple events?
-
Yes you can, however there is a 15 day cooldown period on the rewards. Thus, if for example, you earned rewards for performing on May 1st, you would not be eligible to earn further rewards until on/after May 16th.
- When are rewards paid and how do I claim them?
-
Rewards will be paid out in USD via PayPal or Venmo, and artists registered as hosts (or co-hosts) of an event will receive an e-mail 24 hours after the realization of the event, with a breakdown of their rewards and instructions on how to claim them.
If you do not receive such an e-mail, please contact us at support@soundstage.fm, or come speak with us on the Audius discord server (channel #soundstage).
- Am I obliged to cede my event footage to SoundStage.fm and/or Audius so that it can be used for promotional purposes?
-
One of the goals of Concert Catalysts is to produce compelling content we can share across various media outlets in order to generate awareness of SoundStage.fm.
With that in mind, our rewards structure includes a $150 bonus should we decide to use footage from your event.
If you accept the rewards payout, which may include this bonus, you would be implicitly granting us permission to use the footage (and your likeness), in our future promotional campaigns.
Please note that rewards are paid out on an all-or-nothing basis, meaning you must accept them in full, or reject them in full.
