Thank you for being so diligent in the details for everything, it’s so easy watching your longer videos without being bored or confused!!! i’ve been watching so many of your videos and learning a ton! thanks so much ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. Do you happen to know how to credit "Traditional Music"? Two of the songs on a new album are traditionals. Some distribution platforms will need it to be filled out correctly, in order not to cause any issues.
Quick question. Does landr allow for customers to pre order, or pre save an album on apple music if i set a later release date? I plan on releasing my artist’s album on the 31st of October but im not seeing a pre save option
This might be a silly/obvious question, but would I need to make an account/artist account for each of the platforms that I would want to be distributing my music to? Or would Landr automatically make one attached to my name/music? Awesome informative video btw, has really helped me narrow my options. Blessings!
Great info! I had my original song on CDBABY, I've recently left CDBABY and had them remove my song from all streaming platforms. I'm considering joining LANDR. I've since re-recorded my original song and added some harmonies, fiddle etc... I would like to put my updated original song version on LANDR. My question is should I get a new ISRC code or use the ISRC code from CDBABY? Note the older version of the song has been deleted and no longer will be used. Thanks so much for your time and all you do.😎👍
Your content is well done and explained. For guided meditation with music will Lander approve that for distribution ? I tried using using SoundOn and got this rejection The track I AM was not approved due to the following reason(s): Audio: Talk content not allowed (i.e. podcasts, news reports, audiobooks). Will Lander work?
m a pro ( 30 years production music ) ...lots of unreleased material I've packed into collections to distribute via Landr, tried an album of 8 tracks but all my masters have 8 errors and I can't resolve by hitting the fix errors button... no online support, tried iMac and MacBook, caches cleared,
Hi! I have a question, lets say you make all the music yourself and all yknow production, lyrics and etc. and when it comes to credits on like Spotify you have to put your own legal name is that right?? Because what if you want to go only by your stage name and dont want your identity and legal name out there do you just put the stage name or is there something else you have to do??
You Legally Have to put your legal name regardless Because as you implied, your stage name will be placed on Spotify credits as the "Performer" and if you're also the producer & songwriter than your legal name will be shown in the songwriting credits as well as the producer credits.
"Hi! If I pay for an annual subscription on LANDR but decide not to renew it next year, will my uploaded songs be removed from streaming platforms, or will they stay online? Thanks!"
Thank you for this video. Just submitted my first release through LANDR! Question though... Where do I set up/upload the artist bio, album bio, and artist profile banner photo that is at the top of an artist page on all the streaming services?

Ryan, I have a question about Copyrights type. If I used Toontrack EZdrummer 3 on a song would I check the box "The track contains royalty-free samples"? Thank you for this excellent video.
If you are using it as a virtual instrument that is triggering individual instrument samples via midi, then you would check the first box. If you are dragging completed samples (complete beats/finished audio) from a library, then you would check the second box.

I think Spotify blocks this, not the distributor. I'm not sure what your track sounds like exactly, but if you're using "guided meditation" in the title this could be an issue for flagging the content. Also you might want to use spoken word as a genre. Not sure if that will solve the problem but it's worth a shot.
@@IndieMusicAcademy Thanks so much I used your cod e and signed up. Thanks for the 20 percent off. I have one more question. In your video you showed how to link and already existing spotify artist account to your releasing song. However I don't have an artist account yet and there is no way in the spotify tutorials to do this without a publish song. How can I get a spotify artist account linked to Landr ?Or how do I do it through Landr?
I’ve got a question here. If you arranged and selected some part of classical music pieces (not record whole pieces), and give it a new name for this piece. Does it belong original songs or cover songs? Thanks!
A couple questions. How is the customer service? Are there actual people that respond to help requests? Do they offer Marketing services such as playlist pitching as well?
Hey, man...two things (and I pose these with full awareness that you're not a LANDR employee): 1 - I'm not sure I understand the cover song restrictions with regard to YT/social media. Luke Comb's cover of "Fast Car" has a combined 66 million views scattered across multiple videos, so it clearly must be possible to distribute monetizable covers to YT, it just appears that LANDR doesn't have the key to that particular closet....and 2 - LANDR still appears to be unable to secure an OAC for artists on YT, whereas DistroKid, Symphonic, and others DO. I've already bought the entire LANDR farm, and I'm completely sold on everything they do well, but that OAC roadblock is a bummer. Is that something you covered in another video?
Hi, I've watched a few of your videos very good content, you mention good point on a number of solutions in the past and now LANDR, I will be starting out uploading a number of covers plus original content soon, then probably 1 song every couple of months, even though LANDR is a bit more expensive would u say this is best for me? do you prefer them? this is by far the simplest I have seen applying for cover songs so far. is there another solution you also recommend?
I think so. If you aren’t going to use all the other features in the LANDR studio bundle, you can purchase distribution only from Landr and the price is much more affordable. That might be the way to go for you especially since you’ll utilize the built in cover song licensing!
Hey, I'm from Mexico, I want to release an arrangement (cover) that I made from an existing song, the only doubt I have is this advice that says "Due to licesing restrictions, we can't release cover songs in Bazil, India, México or Pakistan. This release will be excluded from those countries" Then, If I release this cover that I made with LANDR, it won't be on any of the stores of México??
Hmm I see the dilemma! You might need to see if Easy Song Licensing can get you a license that covers Mexico and then you upload that license to LANDR when you distribute. Thats what I would try next!
8:16 I am trying to select 'Assamese' as a language which is a Northeast Indian language but it is not there as an option. What can I possibly do? Shall I proceed as instrumental?
I'm in Australia. Any Australian artists here that use this service? Can't use Distrokid because I have an Australian Tax number and they only take USA format? Does Landr allow for Australian Artists?
my band is using landr for our distribution, do you know if i can use that same account to upload to a different artists account? i didn't quite get how that works or is it one landr acc per artist acc
Im at 8:21You mentioned lyricist. If i'm covering a song by ben harper. Do I need to put him down since he wrote the lyrics? You didn't actually say what you should do if it's a cover in that situation
@@highlonesome-coloradobluegrass If you Click on the information button Option for the question It does help shed some light. I think it counts as the person who actually wrote the song. I have three releases and haven't had any issues with that. So i'm guessing i'm doing it right. I know that's probably not the answer you want but it's all I got. And he still hasn't answered me yet.
@@IndieMusicAcademy okay. Is that different for each streaming platform or does it change? And if so, how would an artist know what exact time the track/album would be released in order to promote it beforehand?
I'm going to be using LANDR for all my cover song distribution. I'm going to keep my existing songs on AWAL but future originals will probably be on LANDR too since I wanna use their mastering in my workflow after I do an initial "tonal" master myself.
@@IndieMusicAcademy just a heads up i been experiance now for years of bad support noi refund just bad support littelery im jelous of you being on AWAL
LANDR is ticking me off and your video is as presumptuous as their website. I have a derivative work (We play a punk version of Amazing Grace, it's in the Public Domain ffs) and the ONLY TWO OPTIONS are 'original composition' (it isn't) or 'cover song' (it isn't, we added new parts). So I can't even choose a composition type. Would you mind telling me just how the hell I am supposed to upload a Public Domain song to precious LENDR in this situation? I tried saying it's a cover song and that I had the licenses (because we ALL do), but it wants a copy of the licensing lol cmon man. So I'm going to say it's an original and have it rejected. This fucking sucks.
