what is commonsound
commonsound is a collective of innovators... organized to allow multiple people (with a variety of skills) to design, construct and sell innovative audio devices and kits globally without a boss or work schedule

structure of commonsound

• Businesses and individuals operate independantly, and help each other develop and sell innovative audio devices.
  For example, members may buy parts together in bulk, collaborate in developing new techniques, inform each other of industry news, etc..
• Builders may build any device for personal use without restriction. Commercial use must follow the designer's license. (example: License for 4ms Pedals's designs)
• Builders may also opt-out of marketing/selling devices, and allow a third party to do so. For example, 4ms Pedals charges a fee for selling a third-party pedal on their website.
• We welcome designers, audio-circuit-heads, mad-scientists, etc to get involved. The forum and kits wiki are available for sharing your designs (and receiving community feedback). Email us if you are interested.

the commonsound wiki:

• The wiki contains all the instructions for building a commonsound device. The Wiki format allows any user to add tips/comments, document new techniques, or modify existing instructions.

  its intent was to further research, design, and production of innovative audio devices, and to facilitate sharing and learning these skills.... by creating an organization to house other organizations, many innovators can work together, sharing resources and ideas, while still maintaining autonomy.
  commonsound is open to new organizations and individuals (you) that design or build innovative audio things, electronic or non-
