sorry if my mixes offended anyone, there once was an extra thread in here for djs/producers but i couldnt find it - so forum musicians was kind of the closest i could find to post some music i mixed.
while we are already at this point:
clubmoodvibes asked me to do a podcast for them
you can enjoy it on soundcloud, itunes and hearthis.at
Are you sure it is not just someone trying to get your attention when you hear "douche, douche, douche" as it seems much more fitting. Your question "know whats dumber that becoming an musician", first possible answer is obviously being someone that say's "know whats dumber than becoming a musician" and not spelling techno correctly, the second is anyone that thinks the jokes you included to be funny
Uhhh.... why else would I describe an artist being dummer than a musician?
Cause I screwed up and became one maybe? By the way I got those jokes from a drummer and a DJ - OK?
I don't really like to show stuff I haven't finished, but in this case......
I don't like to get involved with all you mental conspiracy theory guys but racer y was just making a couple old jokes, you guys are wayy to sensitive...
There’s a download gate to hypeddit where you can download a lossless wav audio format at 1411kbits and 60mb filesize.
SoundCloud for artists is just as great as any other platform for streaming and promoting music. But thanks for your feedback about the track!
Welp, I'm trying to, by spreading the info here for e.g.
Well, at least there's that, so appreciate it.
Well, I won't listen to song if that would require me to go to soundcloud service. Althought, gotta admit that even if that wouldn't be the case, I still am unable to provide feedback as I'm unable to make new song discoveries, cuz reasons.
But honestly, if you're an music producer, listen to the song from DAW, than upload it on soundcloud and decided it sounds oll'right than something ain't right. They do dissastrous service to the music industry by refusing to update their preview codec, as than the only songs which sound good by this old encoding are songs where there's no much to encode: simple and monotone. And here goes another balance shift which starts defining pop songs: simple and monotone, cuz only those ones allow to focus on song instead of listening to codec distortions.
Haven't bothered to test yet, but I suspect soundcloud is also pushing it's creators unwillingly into loudness war, as their playback is always so loud and flat that I don't think it's even mp3 to blame here, they can do some processing here and there, mfs.
And it's not about makeing hi-fi audio an luxury option paywalled by artist, as there's an threashold where I if I'd been an musician, would not want the listeners of my song to have to bear throught such unpleasing quality, as they'll get false impression that the song is not good. Simply doing disservice to the song, just disrespectful to the creation. I get FLACs can be paywalled, but previews shouldn't remind us of early human recordings god damn it. Especially in 2023.
SoundCloud, service advertise as for music, has worse preview than YouTube! Whereby YouTube has ~130kbps Opus. Same goes for Spotify. Than no wonders only top100 hits on those platforms are some simple phone gingles, cuz only those ones sound good with the preview quality (althought, on Spotify you can at least pay premium for full mp3 experience, but still: why they limited themselfs to those mp3 streaming...)
The vast, vast majority of people who listen to music couldn't care less about about the bitrate and the quality of their music, as long as it isn't a distorted mess. If you are making music for 99.99...% of people, Soundcloud is fine. If you think anything other than that, you are a snob.
Saying people who upload their music to streaming services lack dignity is the stupidest thing I've heard all week, and Trump has been on trial this week...
As a YouTube consumer, I just use YT platform. There you can find various gems according to music. ( In a same manner as from SoundCloud for example, just different platform... and format )
At least get your facts right before ruining and downtalking someones elses work in here.
And thats the whole point of sharing music. It doesnt matter which platform its been uploaded to. The whole point is promoting yourself. I couldnt care less if its 256 or 320 kbps while listening as long as its not overdriven or distorted. If I find a cool track from other artists on either YT, Soundclouod, Spotify or wherever, and I actually want to buy it, I still can go to a record store around the corner and get the vinyl, or buy the original lossless files from bandcamp or other online record stores. I never went like "oh its been uploaded to Soundcloud, therefor the artists and his whole music sucks in general"
go tell that to 95% of people who make music
