At Loop Community, we are committed to resourcing the church and worship leaders with the tools they need to lead worship. This is the reason we started Loop Community in 2009. Since then, we\u2019ve created a completely free MultiTrack Playback App, Looptimus, Track Rig and distribute MultiTracks\u00a0on behalf of hundreds\u00a0of artists and churches. Making this easy and affordable for worship leaders will always be our priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equally important to Loop Community is serving the song. Making great worship music easily and broadly available serves the church and the song at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking to distribute your original MultiTracks,\u00a0LoopCommunity.com\u00a0is a great place to do that \u2013 among many other sites out there! With well over 300,000 churches in the US, no one website is THE go-to place for everything. Of course we would all like to be and we would all like to think we are. But the truth is that we\u2019re just not. Loop Community\u2019s 100,000+ active users, another site\u2019s 80,000, and yet another site\u2019s 15,000 will obviously have some overlap \u2013 but separately, none of us are covering the whole potential customer base and audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a publisher, songwriter, or church producing original worship music; this is something to consider. The term \u201cexclusive\u201d sounds pretty important. And, it can be. It can also be limiting. Any time you enter into an exclusive agreement about where your music and resources can be sold, you\u2019ve given up the freedom to use multiple avenues to tell your story, promote your music, and make the most of the opportunities available for your music to be heard and sung. Your potential audience is then limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, there are some companies who are requiring exclusive agreements that span for up to 1 \u2013 3 years. This means that you are unable to sell your tracks on any other website or platform during this time period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Loop Community, our view is that demanding exclusivity to us wouldn\u2019t be in your best interest or the song\u2019s best interest. We believe that requiring you to exclude other options and opportunities by signing an exclusive agreement with us, or anyone else, limits your reach and hurts the Church because there are worship leaders that aren\u2019t discovering, hearing, or leading your music\u2026which is the point, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, while it may not make as much traditional business sense<\/em><\/strong> to be open-handed and non-exclusive; that\u2019s what we believe best allows us to be about God\u2019s business<\/strong>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At LoopCommunity.com we want you to spread your music as far and wide as possible. Art should NEVER be limited to a certain audience. This is the reason you can buy \/ listen to the same music at iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, etc. How much more should worship music NEVER be limited? Loop Community is dedicated to your success and getting your music to as many people as possible\u2026 All for the glory of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
