Cutting off dreadlocks
มุมมอง 2.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Shaving my dreads after 7.5 years. Having locs is fun, but it's time to cut them off. I was debating on going to a barber to cut my dreadlocks off, but it seemed like it wouldn't be hard to do it myself. I looked up "how to cut dreads" and couldn't find much, so I just got a pair of sharp scissors and went for it! After the locs were gone I took an electric hair clipper and shaved my head. It w...

Spotify Fraud - Fake Features

I was added as a featured artist without my permission or involvement. It brought to my attention how easy it is it be an artist imposter and scam people on Spotify.

Anyone can add false metadata when the release song, and so...

Repost Network claimed PewDiePie's song?

Repost by Soundcloud has wrongfully claimed and stolen copyright and TH-cam Content ID for PewDiePie's song.

Very nice videos, and above all your final speech is perfect, I'm of the same philosophy as you brother. Create with what you have, and squeeze the most out of it. Only in this way do you bring out everything you have inside.
ty bro! 100%. We gotta make the most of the resources we have, and I believe having limitations actually fuels creativity, so it can be a blessing to have constraints. Cheers mate 👊
Sweet... Curious about the same test with m4 vs m4pro
Same!
I think it would be fair to match the sample rates between the sessions as well. The M1 runs at 48kHz while the M4 runs at 44.1kHz-which could be considered a slight advantage. Nice comparison video though. Keep up the good work ;)
Ah, I forgot to check that! Yeah, def would've been better to have the sample rates be the same.
Interesting - i think what this showed, as you say, is for most peoples 'real world' usage, M1 is a perfectly useable machine. Only when pushing into multiple hundred tracks the M4 becomes vital but I doubt folk who are producing those track counts would be buying the base spec mac mini anyway. Really Like your summary about gear being just tools and creativity is key....sometimes limitations can stimulate creativity - the memory limit in old samplers were testament to that.
Are both using same kind of audio interface too?
Yeah, both running through a Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen
Nice comparison.
ty mate!
Music Distributors are a fking scam.
Rly helped out appreciate it dawg
For sure mate! 👊
Can I make money by distrubuting my ‘mashups’ ?
thats a great video man but soundcloud for artists has now a slightly different feel with other windows. I cant get any further with profile mapping its asking me for an artists link or select matching profile. ive been trying for over 6 months to release songs and still cannot get any further it just dont wanna work
nice I’m cutting mine today
Cheers to a new chapter!
Can you help me? With the new SoundCloud. Featuring like everything looks new and I need to help.
I think it's time I make a new video for it!
@ yes yes yes that would be amazing because I’m struggling with this new giant update for SoundCloud and the part that I’m struggling to do for my featuring to put on distribute i’m getting this error featured by must be enclosed in () at the end of the title that’s the part I’m stuck on
Yo sup. I distribute my music via soundcloud next pro. How do I claim my Spotify Artis Account? My request over the spotify for artist page gets rejected every time. They want a page with my email and my name. Both is in my soundcloud, wich i link every time. Pls help
I couldn't find "repost"
They changed the some to SoundCloud for Artists, so repost doesn't exist anymore
@@freshlysunlitThanks, but now it won't allow me to upload. I get to the last bit and its locked. 😂😡
Thanks for the info and opinion dude. I've been using Bandcamp for months now (years but stepped away from music for a while) and enjoy the freedom it gives.
i know this is a old video but im an upcomming artist, what distributer can i use?
Honestly Distrokid aint a bad option, lots of ppl use them. If you want to only have a one time fee I'd go with EmuBands. If you want something that's completely free try RouteNote
I stop music. My friend had a song that hit and got about 3 million Post of people using her music. In like 4 months time she got paid 130$ and the ban her from the distributor service. The told her that she had a streaming bot from TikTok. I was so confused. I told her the scum the money because it doesn't make sense that you can 2 million of does people using your song in their videos. Does look like bot to me.
What. 😅😅 You should take them to court ain't no way. TikTok pays when someone use your music on their post using your song in it. TikTok does pay per steam. That's is a lie Sue them look for a lawyer
3 Million views on a TikTok video she made? Or 3 million people used her song on their videos? If she has 10k+ followers and is eligible to monetize she should have gotten several thousand if she made the video, if ppl used her song 3 million times she should've gotten like $90k.
@@freshlysunlit she said 3M people using her music into their videos on TikTok. I'm sure if she's getting that much people using her music the shouldn't of scam her, the could at least offer her a different plan. I wouldn't sleep if that was me
@@TillerMelly she used ttrac music distribution.
@@alawitz Ohh sorry. Look at their review. It can tell everything. I stop using them in like 1 month I'm now using too Lost haha 😂
Hey. Can i distribute my music to spotify without soundcloud monetization or getting paid? Just to promote my music.
I think all distribution platforms will collect royalties, they each take different cuts of it. For a free music distributor you could check out Route Note, there's a few more that are free as well. Generally they just take bigger cuts of royalties or they have limitations.
On SoundCloud for Artists specifically, yes you can upload to Spotify but not SoundCloud through their platform.
Hi :-). Can i use soundcloud distribution only to promote my music without monetization or getting paid?
but my sound cloud for artist cant load how do i fix it i paid for next pro
yeaah same, i got pro couple days ago & since it hasnt worked
I have a 2018 mini6 core. Intel i5 And my cpu runs at 10% with the demo.
Not bad. Mac mini's are small, but they're beasts
Is Magef a good name?
What kind of music do you make? It's a cool name, and there's isn't anyone else using it, which is good. There is one dude on Spotify called MAGEFA all caps, but if your music is different enough I don't think it's a big deal cause your names aren't identical
Do they distribute to Beatport
Thank you so much!!! <3 Exactly what I needed
but do I have to register with Siae to distribute my audio tracks in stores?
I’ve been trying to figure this out for the longest time. My name is Emmett Parodi, but it’s my name so it doesn’t stand out to me. Idk what its like for other people
man you talk waaaayyyy too fast, slow down sweetie
Thank you so much for your video, I have a query. My last EP has been aproved, but, when the released date arrive, will Soundcloud upload automatically the EP on Soundcloud too? or I need to upload by my own? Thank YOu so much
Hello, thank you for the video 🙌🏼 I have a question, if I am doing a remix of song, how should I put their names
how do I link my personal TH-cam channel to autogenerated soundcloud for artist TH-cam channel?
in August 2024 the service ist just a nightmare - monetizing song I am holding all rights ist just impossible - Verifying emails does not work (link within the confirmation email already exspired) - support is non exsistent - the help center is almost useless when it comes to non-standard problems - and even the chat bot gave up and is not responding anymore - I don't think SC is very trustworthy at all - I prefer a professional distributor like DB or RJ - this is just "Kids wanna play with the big boys" - so sad - SC has seen better days
So are they considered a PRO? CAN YOU USE LANDR AND SOUNDCLOUD FOR RELEASING MUSIC?
Thanx for video. For first releases im used CDBaby but now I'm start using LANDR with Pro Disctiburtion plan and I thing its verry good and one of the best for now.
Well said! I’m kinda at a crossroads where I’ve rebranded to Tapepusher and now I’ve an album ready so it’s my last chance to stick with TP or rebrand before the album goes out. Which is a better name in your opinion: Tapepusher Living Memory GiraffeWave Mike Entropy
What type of music do you make?
So basically there are gate keepers keeping broke artist off of iTunes, spotify and amazon?
Pretty much. Basically all the stores (iTunes, Spotify, amazon) outsource the actual uploading of music to their platforms to third party companies, some of which are kinda shady. But there are more and more free options popping up, so that's good.
@@freshlysunlit This is so effed up. I can upload to soundcloud or bandcamp no problem.
@@freshlysunlit Just found it at the bottom of the guide. Thanks!
@@Caged_Monuments-x6p Cheers!
Oh man just wait until you find out there are no more free distrubtors not only that Ditto (my distributor) scammed me by taking 99% of my royalties and now they don't allow me to use my own Isrc codes... Totally Fkd up
Ok I have a problem. I want to release music, but I also am a stage performer. I do theatre, and so my branding on social media is my natural name. Which is a great stage name, McLain Hunter. I’m torn with whether or not, I should create a separate account for my music, which will mean choosing a different artist name, or conjoining my theatre account with my singing one to just be my natural name McLain. I like my middle name too, Elise. I just am torn between whether or not to use my name. And if it has that “It” singer quality to it if you know what I mean?
I really like the name McLain Hunter! It's a great name for a music artist-plus there's no one else with that name making music so that's a huge plus! When people search for you they can actually find you! I'd recommend just keeping everything together in one account under your name. Social media is muuuuch more manageable without separate accounts. It's cool to see a more complete picture of a person on their social media account, and blending theater and music seems natural. Elise is a beautiful middle name. With or without the addition of the your middle name I think your name is fantastic. 💛
@@freshlysunlit ok got it! Thank you so much for your advice!
This is a great video! Thank you so much :)
Cheers mate! 💛
Thank you for this video, just the info I needed to hear! I sing and write songs/ play my own music and trying to figure how " to get it out there". I CANT AFFORD TO GET RIPPED OFF. Did you wind up changing to CD baby?.or Distro?
Great helpful video fr
Excellent and clear ! Didn't understand what preview start time is. Please can you explain some more ? Thanks
Basically it's what portion of the song will play on iTunes when people preview the track. Also, it's the default start time when people use the track on Instagram or TikTok for a video, but users can still choose where it starts in those platforms if they want.
what if i enabled 2fa but its not showing so i can distribute music ??
what do i do???
@@treygalliono3138 Can you request to have the 2fa send a code an alternate way? Like have it send an email instead of a text
can you help me please , my monetization is stoped
They increased the payout threshold to $25, so it's going to take longer before seeing any money from royalties
Very cool. And cool name. 👍
ty bro!
The way I would go about it is to pick multiple artist names but have only one social media name for all of them.
That sounds like a good solution!
I believe the term to use is pseudonym... 😊 Good Content.
Ah, that's the word!
I want a unique nickname that will help me glow to a stronger person. I have some ideas and I keep going back to my first choice. 😂
Sometimes the first choice is the best choice!
would me signing up for this mess up what I have with united masters I just want to sign up for this to boost my music on sc
You can sign up for this along with United Masters or any other music distribution platform, just can't have the same tracks uploaded to the same stores (Spotify, etc) if you already have them uploaded and hosted on another distribution platform. But you can upload new releases on SC for Artists and live your old catalog on United Masters. Or you can use SC for Artists for the extra SC exclusive features
Hey, having trouble and understanding how this process works I have my song approved now. Do I have to wait for the partners to distribute because I keep checking Apple and I don’t see my track up. Do they eventually put it up after waiting for a while or do I have to apply?
Howdy, yeah it normally takes a week or 2, sometimes more. Even if you put the released date as tomorrow, it won't show up for awhile.
@@freshlysunlit whew good to know , I didn’t know the time frame but now that I do it’s easier to be patient
Thank you so much
For sure mate!
Don't you love it when you have to pay a company for the privilege of making them money of your work?
It's a delight.
