Souncloud is the worst, thinking of signing up?
Don't bother, they don't link accounts properly, and there's zero customer support.
Deleted it.
Total waste of money and time.
Does anyone know a good distributer for originals and the odd AI version here and there(for reach if anything I don't really like AI tbf)?
I just came back to Soundcloud after I canceled back in 2018, and I started to notice wildly unrelated music playing after finishing my playlist. I think it's due to Soundcloud's Amplify feature that they are heavily promoting for artists, since every song has under 100 listens ,which, I think amplify promotes until 150 if I recall correctly.
Something I have noticed as well it seems to be always the first song that plays after I finish my playlist. This seems unlike Soundcloud because they seemed to have a really great algorithm, on par with Spotify, giving me the ability to discover really good music.
Also another weird thing is that I can't find any "not interested" button to tell the algorithm to stop serving me this.
Anyway to turn this off I am subbed under the Go subscription.
I’ve tried every trick in the book…. Resizing the image to 4000x4000 and than to 5650x5650 and than to 6000x6000. Making sure the file size doesn’t go to 15mb than shorting it all the way down to 4mb. Sent out an email with a ticket number to SoundCloud customer support, still no response…. This is literally the only thing stopping me from being able to distribute my do diddly dog shit music across all platforms, how in the world am I supposed to get this sorted 😭 Is there any apps anyone uses to sort this problem out or am I just shit out of luck? Any help would be greatly appreciated ‼️❤️
Im an artist that drops multiple times a week and my stats are starting to hurt because of the amplify feature hasn't been working.
Anybody else having this problem?
earlier today it randomly logged me out of soundcloud and when i logged back in all of my liked songs were gone ?? ive restarted my phone and redownloaded soundcloud several times as well as making sure its updated
on different devices my likes are there and on my profile it will show my likes but i wont personally have them liked for some really odd reason and i have a little over 2k likes so i would really not like to have to relike every single song again:/ i dont know what to do so if theres an option i could do to fix this without having to relike everything that would be great
I’m bubblehush and SoundCloud’s automated system flagged my track “and I really want u” twice for using non-exclusive beats and artwork issues. Both were incorrect accusations so I opened a ticket and they responded 7 days later and approved the distribution. To inform anyone who has dealt with this or could in the future, I provided significant evidence like DAW video evidence and the instruments I used to show I did NOT use samples or licensed beats. Once I got the initial reply from a rep, they sent it to the team for review and it was approved less than an hour later. I hope this information helps anyone who has to navigate this in the future.
TLDR: make sure you provide video, artwork, track evidence like DAW DNA videos in the email thread when making a ticket if your music is being incorrectly flagged to expedite the process and stretched out conversations.
I have been on sound cloud a very long time and just bought artist pro. I am a bit of a procrastinator and stupidly believed if you make good music, listeners will come. I kind of now know this to no longer be true. I am looking for advice on promoting my Soundcloud music without play fraud. I use my socials now but am wondering if I am missing out on an idea like playlists, something you can do on the app?, or particularly something I never ever thought about, thx. Happy to share anything I have learned, one thing is that soundcloud has been a consistent source of plays of my music compared to YouTube ( now ruined by ai music burying everything too deep and their very needy algorithm to keep your stuff found), bandcamp ( most amazing platform but doesn’t have the exposure/listener numbers niche, even after all these years). Soundcloud is easily the best place for finding innovative music, there I add nothing else like it.
So I need yawl help can yawl please give me communities to promo my music in because I just GOT BANNED FROM A FORM FOR NOTHING like ya I'm trying to bring my music but i cant put "go comment under MY POST ON THE FORM NOT SOUNDCLOUD" for feedback i just want the listen and maybe a follow maybe a new like maybe a new fan but i feel like I'm being prevented from doing that LIKE I DONT GET WERE TO POST OR HOW TO ON REDDIT. I don't like to just post my music and say nothing that's not engaging I RATHER SAY SOMETHING FUNNY or something in general that makes you stop and be like u know what I will check his stuff out not just "link ..... thanks" that's so boring and if it me not being able to post till I'm a certain level in the form then why am I here I love to hear new work and I know other do to but I don't feel welcomed other then here SORRY THIS WAS LONG
if u wanna hear my shit lmk if not cool I don't mind matter fact my SOUNDCLOUD IS Not_Leo I'm even on all plats but most of my work is on SoundCloud if u wanna follow me my ig is Leonotagain LMK YALL THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS AMM I WRONG OR AM I JUST LOOKING IN THER WRONG PLACES thanks for your time.
3rd time I use this and my plays just bloat with no real audience capture. Are the plays just bots?? Or does my music just not hit the right group?
A while ago, i covered Gangsta’s Paradise on soundcloud and i received a mechanical license from Easy Song. However, something ( i don’t know what) went wrong with the license uploading and i kept receiving emails that de release had been rejected.
After i filed a complaint, i received this email. The second point i can understand because of the uploading but i don’t recognize the other points. Does somebody know how to fix this? Please let me know.
Found these screenshots from 2021 and was reminded how much better the old UI used to be, visually. Idk if I’m misremembering now but it feels like the UI from a few years ago was so simple and practical.
Wanna make a playlist of your own uploaded songs--yea soundcloud works-impress people in the room. bathroom, kitchen, hallway BUT completely forget making any money or even easily distributing your OWN sweat and blood pour your heart out songs. Jesus how many times have I got the message I have to provide documentation that I CREATed my own tune? I am everytning-artist, composer, lyricist, producer, engineer--no split sheets no work with anyone(ok thats a lie I do need singers at times) but SEriously-cant get it cleared. And the whole fan pay crap gets you. ooo125 dollars per stream in only SOME countries- CRAZY stupid. Then all the thieving gurus from India an pakistan and whereever---promising wonderful things for your beautiful creation. AHHHHHHHH just want to scream. Prediction-Soundcloud folds by this December--there is a cancer within that will not stop growing. Find a new home soon.
For all professional SoundCloud artists, after this major outage that affects us all, I hope we'll be better listed lol
I'm seriously considering moving my music from my branded YouTube channel to SoundCloud due to the fact that I am not currently making any money on YouTube because I don't presently qualify to participate in the YPP (YouTube Partner Program). It is my understanding that under the SoundCloud Artist Pro as long as I provide my name, the name of the song that I've uploaded, my IPI number and the song's ISWC number SoundCloud will pay me 100% earnings and royalty rates from both plays on SoundCloud and distribution to other platforms.
So the question I have is it worth the $8.25 per month ($99 per year) to subscribe? from what I see on their website (click here) there are a lot of features that interest me but first I'd like to hear some opinions from current and past subscribers about your experience with the service.
Gots that jazzy new rap flow in it trust me you'll love it check it out
Has anyone else noticed tracks sometimes get a weird delayed amplification spike?
This track was growing slowly and steadily for days, then suddenly got a massive late push out of nowhere after mostly flattening.
What’s interesting is the engagement behavior changed too, not just raw plays.
Trying to figure out whether this is:
Curious if other artists have seen similar delayed spikes?
Uploaded a track yesterday and opted in to amplify. It has been stuck on "We’re analyzing your track for recommendation" for about 13 hours. The track is definitely elligible and I haven't had issues in the past. However, seems like this issue has come up a bit in the past so wanted to post here and see if anyone else has encountered this issue in the last day or so.
