I just moved to Symphonic. Their music transfer from other platforms is so good! It imports all metadata from other platforms. Then you just add the audio file. I’m thinking about too lost as a trial for a song. 16:30
TooLost and Symphonic are both part of the Merlin Network, TooLost have artists Lil Mabu, UnoTheActivist, Jace! and Yeat for a couple songs. Symphonic have more perks but they cost more they distribute to BandCamp & SoundCloud for a extra fee.
Amazing! This is very interesting as I am looking for another distributor. What do you recommend for covers? Can you also obtain YT content ID for that?
Is there a video out here that explains: After you are done with making the music; what to add to file/how to format you music file for distro; how to publish????
How much info do you have on symphonic partner? So I mean the symphonic music distribution offers the 19.99 per year plan but they also offer the partnership plan and I want to kno how you feel about it
Great question! I answered you question on my TH-cam Live Tuesday Q&As last week! Here’s the link: th-cam.com/users/liveMX0G9dsXeNo?si=FBIKmEOEiPO8UEy1
I was using cdbaby but i am hoping the alternate choice i make it actually is uploadable. Failed file load after failed fileload. I cant be the only one with this problem.
it’s not included in the cheapest plan. distrokid has a thing where they don’t let you add additional primary artists for free, meaning if you want to add a primary artist you’ll have to get the musician plus plan. on top of that, to add another primary artist, you need to add it into the artist slot of your account (example: if you get the musician plus, you can distribute for “two” artists, but if you collaborate with someone and add them as a primary artist you’ll end up taking the second artist slot as well.) this is the same with symphonic and tunecore
I might be wrong, but a big point missed. Symphonic has a 1 artist plan. At least it says that in the FAQ. You can still split, but if you collab on an album, one of you are going to be a feature & not listed as a second primary. So that $20 is the same as Distrokid. Wish I didn’t know this, one of the reasons I’m watching right now is trying to jump ship & DK is making it very frustrating (not adhering to their instructions)
literally the only thing that holds me back from DistroKid & Symphonic. if the primary artist thing matters to you that much you can try Too Lost or Venice Music. Venice Music can get a bit pricey tho (60 USD / year) but you get music videos included with it
The question is did you try what you are preaching thank you for your enthusiasm but I have a hard time making up my mind last year you were all for tunecore and today ….have you changed your sponsor 😊
Hey! To clarify, I have no sponsors and I don’t get paid to talk about these different distribution companies. Unfortunately, distribution companies don’t always remain the same. Their prices and policies change regularly, which is why a make a new video every year. The video I did with Tunecore was years ago
After researching a little and listening to videos and reading things online, that's my conclusion too. I haven't used them yet but that's my intention.
I’ve just read through the Symphonic digital agreement before signing it and it said that ‘the artist will keep 85% of the royalties’ so you’re lying when you say you keep 100%. Not the best or most honest advice mate.
The Starter Plan per their terms keeps 100% of the streaming royalties and 70% of UGC royalties. Their partner plan on the other hand has custom percentages, which is the agreement you may have been sent.
Hey man great video really informative I’ve subscribed. I wanted to ask if you could check out a distribution company called illustrate music. of all the companies I’ve seen they seem to actually be the most favourable to the artist and they don’t take legacy fees either. I’ve only seen literally 2 people cover them and I’m still looking for a distributor myself so I just wanted to be as informed as I can 🙏
@@Uptxwn-Nai i bought their plan of 15$ and 6 days ago i uploaded my album of 6 7 songs and yesterday i got email from them. We rejected your releases and even they dnt tell the reason . they just tell 5 6 possibly reasons. After that they ban you and you can not log in your account any more. So 15$ Wasted. Its totally scam.and my songs were totally original but thats happened
There was so much broken English in the first couple minutes of this video, I don't think I trust this gentleman in taking the time to read and discover the finite details of why each service is particularly good or bad. I'm sorry mate. All the best.
@VainDreamerOfficial yeah looking back it may have been over the top.

I was using cdbaby but i am hoping the alternate choice i make it actually is uploadable. Failed file load after failed fileload. I cant be the only one with this problem.
Sir I don’t want featured artists to be on the title but I can’t find to fix that on distrokid. Can you please help

this is the same with symphonic and tunecore
I believe, too a good decisions belongs more than just those three categoriies, but than again, I am not a pro :)
What about publishing?
Very helpful family! 💯

The more we promote these company's the higher the price will be, seems that way too me.
Appreciate u 🙏🏾💯i need promotion asap happy new year as well WES 👊🏾
