Congratulations to Whitesound.humtoo.com for their successful pitch for the interlink project. You can create collaboration projects and remix projects simply and easily from your own profile page.

We've had a few questions lately about the new HUM system. If you are a little confused, check out the blurb here in our How It Works section which should make it clear. If you are still unclear, message Mike on the site.
