Hello Wonderful information, thank you for taking the time and sharing, most importantly, for being very honest about the process and the details. I'm trying to put my poems in someone's hands, who can share them with the world. I just started the search, but have been writing fir many years, in more thank one language. Once again, my refards to you for this wealth in oyr hands now. Take care. 🇨🇦
Nice!😊
Thank you much!!
Your very welcomed Pervuisneg.
I have a bigger problem. I already did what you said here after being frustrated by tiktok. Now, some tiktok users used my sound before I did. Now its showing one video as the Original and not mine Regardless of the fact that I was the third user of the sound and it also carries my names... I one user deleted their video after I begged him, then the second user became the Original owner and that person doesn't reply messages . I have reported to tiktok many many times and yet no response from them.
Hey, is your music copyrighted and distributed through a music distributor? Or even if it is copyrighted alone?
@@TieDyeKitty i distributed my music Using Amuse
@@Smirnofperdn oh then thats great, just let other people promote your music in their videos like the way TikTok intended, I wish that would happen to me! Let them go wild with it, fingers crossed that it goes viral! Remember, when we artist share our music, its caslled SPAM. When other people share our music, its an endorsement/recommendation.
I have tlm103se and i like it. Although i kinda prefer the sound of rode nt1000. I had tlm49 and it lasted 3 years and was broken…
Why? Onerpm stop working for upcoming artist
So if I can’t use my own songs how can other people use it to create content that will help promote my songs, this thing is absurd
Hi, when you use a music distributor to make you music available on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, it also becomes available of other platforms like TikTok for use by the public. The only difference is that Spotify, Apple Music and others have the licence to stream the whole song, whereas TikTok is only licence to stream 30 second of your music, so TikTok has a sample clip available for use, if you use anything other than that 30 second clip you can get muted.
Just subscribed brother. Thanks for your content
Thanks for the sub! Best of luck with your music!
What if I got muted for an unreleased music? Still my production, no samples used. ?
Hi, well it is even harder to prove that the music is indeed your, because it unreleased and probably not copyrighted at this point. If you have watched some of my past videos, I speak about uploading my music to my music distributor two months prior to it's release date in order to give myself time to promote. This would be one of those instances, where I can release short videos to promote the song coming up to its release date. Other than that, I would stay away from out anything with the music
Are these the only places to submit songs you write ?
Hey brother I can make melodies in my head and then connect lyrics to it and make choruses and verses and i replay it on my head if i think its good And the catchy / good ones i make playlist I have like 10 song i made up (Thanks to my head i can also make sounds) Even tho i never learnt to produce or write and its just a skill i have but i comment this because i do believe my songs in my head are really good :) But what is the next step? I thought to learn how to produce but it take years… or should i write lyrics and make full songs and store in my head again? I don’t have a lot of money or time for that But it sucks because i do believe i have potential 😭
Hey Spicerow, the only way anyone will believe in you and your skills is to give them something finished that they can hear, otherwise they will never see your vision. So unfortunately that is where the "Production" part comes into play, you must Produce the very thing you hear in your head, so that others can listen. And yes learning production takes much time, but it also is a skill and another art form in itself.
What about if you made a soundtrack in my DAW, but its not finished but want to use a snippet. So the music is not copyrighted because first of all I only use it for enjoyment and second I don't promote my music. How do I prove to TikTok is my music.
HI, well please do not take my reply the wrong way, I am not trying to put you down in any way. Even tho you say that you make music for enjoyment and do not promote it, the fact that you are so excited about the song that you want to share it before it is even finished says something. It means that you are passionate and want to Share it, that means you want people to hear it, so by making a video is to promote it. I would say, finish song, copyright, release and only then make your video. Because copyright works like this: if someone takes your song and makes their own version and registerers that song, they will own the copyright. They can even take you to court to say that your song infringed on their copyright because you don't have the copyright for your song. And if you did have that copyright registration in hand, you could send TikTok a copy as proof that the music is yours also. Hope this helps, chat soon George!
@@TieDyeKitty Thanks for the answer it helps. The problem I have is that I have a lot of unfinished music songs that I converted to mp3. But the originals from the DAW on my old computer got destroyed due to my computer being fried and I could not retrieve the data. But thanks for your help. I could probable take those unfinished versions and added to something else.
Unfortunately this method doesn’t work anymore
Hi, what is the length of your video?
@@TieDyeKitty 1 minute 11 sec
@@88gregd that might be the reason, TikTok was made for short form content, so they only licensed music for 30 seconds, therefore any videos using music over that time limit can be muted. But since the laws that govern music and its uses varies according to country region, you never really know when and how videos get muted.
I really appreciate you for this video, I found it helpful
Thank You !!! glad it helped!
You have a stunning voice..i could here you doing voice overs..the UK market is ideal..great video
Wow, thank you! if you can find a way, I could work remotely for you on this!

Yes sure you can, most vocalist use them all the time.

Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Spotify just deleted 3 of my entire albums. I have never paid to be placed on any playlist. With no discussion or proof Spotify accused me of *PAYING* for fake streams then *DELETED MY PROPERTY, BEING THREE ENTIRE ALBUMS OF MUSIC INDEPENDENTLY CREATED FROM SCRATCH BY ME, STEVE AKA SHAPELESS.* I haven't been disrespected like this from an alleged professional business ever. *I PAID* DISTROKID TO DISTRIBUTE MY PRODUCT/MUSIC/ART TO SPOTIFY. SPOTIFY BREECHED CONTRACT BASED ON NOTHING THEN DELETED MY PROPERTY. SPOTIFY IS IN DEEP ISH.
I feel your pain, there is so much wrong in the world, and they are just killing off artist with all this AI crap, and Spotify and every other platform is using AI ( algorithms ) to know what music to push to the masses, this also scans the music looking for AI generated or what they term "Generic Beats" and FLAG them. So it is left up to a computer to tell Spotify if a computer made the music vs a human??? what proff does the computer have that I was not? All of social media is doing the same thing! I feel like this world is going backwards! Anyway, all I can say to you, is do not loose ALLL HOPE, there must be a tipping point, in the mean time, find a way to connect with your fans if you can, let them know what has happened!
Great video 👌
Thanks for the visit
Hi there, does that still works I?
There is always a possibility, I have just been so busy, I have not checked back.
does not work anymore!
Hi, please remember that TikTok is set up for Short Form content, the music licence they acquired is for 30 seconds, if you try to post any video with music over that, you can run into problems according to your region.
I created a contagious melody I've been working for a while, looking for the country and right time to make it a "boom" hit, also need someone to put lyrics on it.
well ask here in the comments, and see if anyone is up for it.

You need to look for artist that may want lyrics, I for one am not sure where to look.
Hi 👋 my brodah. Sorry i have some problems Can you help me please. It's about changing youtube channel in onerpm and using another one
Hey sorry I have never done that, I don't like using one platform to link to another, I try to keep everything manual.
So your music has to already be on TikTok in order for this to work?
Yes, but TikTok would have a 30 sec clip of the most interesting part in their opinion. Just make a bunch of different videos using that same audio clip!
I will do it now . Thank you
All the best
Do you have an instagram?
Sorry, this is my only social media.
I'd like to see a list of songs these placement businesses have successfully contracted to major players or publishers.
Then you may have to start digging into Taxi testimonials since they are one of the most popular services. There are many artist that have gotten placements, but most of the placements go to songwriters, many of them are unknown people that are never in the limelight, but these people also use their real names. And many of the artist we know and love use a stage name.
not sure, where can i find the report number?
I never made a report because I wanted my post to go live immediately, knowing that making a report would mean that I would have to wait till TikTok responds, and then investigate your claims. So a work around is quicker because my music is already available on the platform.
@@TieDyeKitty ye, my music also available there, but my music in there is for some reason only 1 minute long and the video i want to post is longer :D probably will have to shorten the video as can’t find the report number
@@Zygi_Sax TikTok only has permission ( licence ) to use one min of your music, because they publish short form content, anything over a min will probably get muted according to the region the video was posted.
Thank you!!!!!!! You're Awesome
My pleasure Knayoni!
Can somebody tell me why my video was copyrighted th-cam.com/video/u5_T7YIBTDY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kDlQr5z2NAYB4gwH
Because it is transformer-less, it will have sibilance issues depending on the mic preamp and gain settings. If you want a good clone, buy the Mic-Parts DIY kit. It is the closest in my ears.
!00% agree with GAIN setting because that is the most important thing, the problem most bedroom producers encounter is the average Audio Interface does not have a "Gain" knob, but more of an input knob. But an external mic pre amp in most cases have a Gain and Output knob, this way as you know you can raise the output volume on a channel to get your meters moving without pushing Gain! That was how I first started using the 103, it was only after I downsized my studio, did I run into sibilance issues with the 103, because I could not adjust really adjust gain on my interface. So an external pre amp is a game changer, so it would probably be the first thing I buy in order to start recording music again!
@@TieDyeKitty Yes indeed !! Me too, I have down sized as well and have gone down the rabbit hole of home studio recording. It seems to me that today's "cheap" interfaces can't drive the microphones properly and they make the mics sound dead. No matter how hard you push the gain and treble, they sound horrific. Although I can afford to get a u87, a Calrec RQP 3200, a DBX 520 and a Focusrite Red2 EQ, I can't justify the investment for making just "demos" LOL. I am trying to get as close as I to that sound without the price... The 103 is a great mic for the money. That and a ISA one should do the trick. A lot of guys are making it work with cheaper preamps. Like the Symetrix 528, I hear that they are really good and have a vintage but transparent sound. The Golden Age Project PRE-73 Single-Channel Premier Microphone Preamp is another one, has a really good transformer. I will definitely buy a couple and test them...
@@TieDyeKitty For sure !!
How can I change my Artist name? On onerpm pls
Sorry for the late reply, changing your artist name would mean that you would loose all progress you had with streams. Once you change it, all your music will be removed from all the streaming platforms, and you will need to re upload your music because the meta data would need to also change. It would be much much headache for you.
The other problem you would face is trying to rebuild your digital footprint online, this would include Google.
DO NOT TYPE MYHITONLINE INTO YOUR BROWSER. YOU WILL BE PULLED INTO A MCAFEE COMPUTER VIRUS!!!!

Hi, I have Yamaha HS8 studio monitors and I would rate them at a 9 I'm still learning how to make the right adjustments to the settings
I love those monitors, I borrowed a pair a couple months ago and I think I will never go without them once I start mixing music again. They just sound musical to my ears with, they made me fall in love with listening to music from every artist I know and love again!

There are GTZ U 87, GTZ U 87+ and two more clones. Which clone is near to naumann U87.
Hi, that is a hard question to answer, you have to ask yourself what is more important, the performance or the gear? Because i have done many side by side comparisons on the Neaumann TLM103 as a cheaper alternative to the U87 as "a clone" and many people on TH-cam have shot that down. It comes down to what you like, what works for you and what you can afford, they all will get the job done, but when you find the perfect mic for your voice, you will have less work to do in the mix. Hope this helps.
@@TieDyeKittyBoth performance and gear are important. When you work hard for years. You definately prefer good vocal chain.
@@HarvinderSingh-yy8th for sure, makes your job easier/faster when time is money.
I uploaded my song on 1rpm it was already distributed but I noticed I uploaded a different song rather than the song I wanted How do I change the audio and also get it distributed again
Sorry for the late reply, you would need to request a take down of the song via a ticket on ONErpm, explaining the issue. Your problem is going to be a little difficult because a digital fingerprint was already made from the wrong audio to identify your song online, this is used for Shazam, TH-cam Content ID and many other apps. So once you send your ticket to ONErpm, the song should be deleted from streaming platforms in about 30 days. Let ONErpm guide you on this, so that they may be able to save you alot of issues, just be patient, because its not as simple as it may seem.

im from Trinidad and i write rap and r&b, but it's so hard to get exposure in these genres from living in the Caribbean. Do you have any tips?
Hey Cameron, the only thing you can really do is align yourself with Soca in some way and launch yourself out from that after some time, because Soca has the Trini audience. The truth is for all music these days is that everyone has become lazy, no one makes the time to seek good music again, they rather be told what to listen to. And if everyone listens to soca, start working your way in that direction. Chromatics (Richard Raj-Kumar) has been around for years in the Trini rap scene but this year went in the direction of soca to gain more attention. Nailah Blackman is a pop/rock singer songwriter, who is now on the tips of most trinidad lips because of soca, but she has being intoducing her true self and style of music on her albums little by little, so when she does switch, to a pure pop/rock type album, no one will complain. And well the is also Freetown Collective, they are on the verge of Folk music in Trinidad, but one of their biggest songs broke into the soca market in a big way!
Can we get streams for this?
Yes it counts as streams Maxxcupid!
None of these cms are close to U 87 ai. They all have different sounds. But beyond doubt they sound good.
The thing that is even more funny, is the vintage U87s sound so different from the modern one, and even no two modern units sound the same, they are like snow flakes under the microscope. lol
Thanks for the demonstration - too close to call, which makes the 103 the value choice. Be safe old man. TT
LOL thank you JR for the comment, glad this ole guy made an informative video that you found help full. And yes your old man TT comment still has me smiling!
Uh, this ain't a clone, buddy.
Thanks for your opinion, and yes a Clone is normally referred to an organic process, so you are absolutely right. But this video was made to help indie artist escape from feeling the need to buy a U87 in order to get some great sounding tracks, and end up buying some "Clone" that has no resale value when they try to eventually upgrade. Sorry for wasting your time clicking on the video, but I have a few other video with side by side test to prove my point.

What about Songbay? Do you guys know if that one is worth for making money as a songwriter? 🤔
Sorry for the late reply, but I have never used Songbay.
It’s not falsifying streams as long as each song has its own ISRC code and uses that same code wherever it appears. It’s the same as releasing a song and having that same song appear on an EP or Album afterwards. That song must use the same ISRC code unless it’s an alternative version of the song. It’s not falsifying streams at all. If you’re in any doubt you should speak to your distributor.
Hey thanks for your comment, you are absolutely right when you say each song MUST HAVE ITS OWN ISRC CODE, and that is what music distributors asked us to do, but the waterfall release technique encourages artist to use the same ISRC code on all the releases over and over, that is why I say they can consider it falsifying streams in the eyes of the streaming platforms.
@@TieDyeKitty If that same song is on every release then it should have the same ISRC code. Spotify wouldn’t penalise you for that. It would only be a problem if you use that same ISRC code for a completely different song. Signed artists use the waterfall method all the time. It’s not fraudulent. It’s just sneaky. 😄
@@MattRichardsEsq I am seeing artist doing the waterfall tech using the same ISRC code on different songs for an album, and that sneaky thing could very well get Spotify to delete artist accounts, because these days it seems they need any excuse to do it. lol
