On a long tangent: now that Apple is pushing Atmos, is it possible to somehow package quality stems in an Atmos track that sounds mastered?

Thank you for the feedback! This is definitely something I have yet to overcome. A few users asked for features that will allow Brew to head in this direction. I'm exploring solutions, and might even introduce a Pioneer.app like program, but for artists.
On the scalability: I'm a big fan of not overcomplicating things early on. However, I'm planning to build a feature that lets you select a daily/weekly preference so you simply get a summary of what was added that day/week. I'm also planning on auto-tagging genres based on the track previews using essentia.js, so I don't have to spam metal heads with EDM daily. Lots of room for improvement, but waiting for it to become a problem first.
And what people burn out on is that a lot of these collabs go poorly because of artistic differences, or one people being not serious (for good or bad reasons). So if the collab is off-site, that eliminates the completion rate you have on a platform like skeb. IMF solves this by being more a community and so you get to know people more before working with them.
So I'm not sure it is solving really anything, and the approach does not seem sustainable (one email per new track per user? how long before everything goes to spam). But I'd love to be convinced otherwise :-)
