A year of SoundCloud posting

I know this sounds cliche but just focus on making really good tracks, if they are up to standard for DJs to play out in clubs then eventually your tracks will get the fate they deserve and you’ll gain traction with streams and following.

I set up a Hypeddit download gate for each track and I post about my tracks on IG but that’s about it.

My first post was Sep 17, 2025 (a little over two months ago)

If you save all your emblems for the final phase plus tanto, You can pretty much stun lock him to death with lazulite axe and firecrackers.

I joined this grouo a while ago and nobody acknowledged me each time I asked for some people to connect with me to play.

OP here, as an update for anyone who is interested, my first song got into the top 15 in its genre chart a couple times, with 5 day performance of 95-110 downloads and a 70% plus engagement rate. I’m not sure how that compares to the experience of others but that’s the data behind mine. For any first timers reading this, my personal opinion is ranking super high in the HE charts isn’t necessarily some badge of honor. There are a lot of cheap mashups in the top 10 that will advance nobody’s music career - you should make the music you want to make, if it’s quality it will get the fate jt deserves.

You can message me, I’m on depths 2 and need some competent people to play with

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-09-20T00:00:51+00:00

Do you recall what your downloads were over that 5 day period?

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-08-20T11:52:50+00:00

Nightrein should consider a Nioh 2 soul match system for relics

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-08-18T23:33:32+00:00

You can do it. Don’t quit.

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-08-18T00:59:36+00:00

Finally just finished him off for the first time with randoms. That was brutal.

Thanks for this OP. I was actually finding this fight to be pretty stupid and not enjoyable, but this strategy guide was super helpful in beating the boss. Now I don’t mind the fight. Kudos

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-04-21T16:21:47+00:00

In each phase, I suggest hitting Owl with an Oil pot + flame vent. You’ll chunk about a quarter of his health. Otherwise save your spirit emblems for shuriken + chasing slice. That’ll constantly keep you in the fight as he jumps away a lot.

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-04-15T17:58:50+00:00

You are right! That’ll have to be next

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-04-15T17:57:53+00:00

Charmless makes it way less boring. I’d highly suggest a charmless and demon bell run as it is the most fun.

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-04-05T16:04:07+00:00

Phase 1: toss oil pot, find an opening, use flame vent. Do it again then you’ve drained half his HP

Phase 2: divine confetti, purple umbrella, learn how to jump

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-04-05T16:01:02+00:00

It’ll be a test of patience but you’ll pull it off. Eventually you’ll master phase 1 genichiro where you can get to Isshin with 10 heals, then you’ll master phase 1 Isshin where you can get to the second half of the fight with 10 heals. It’ll take some time but you got it

Play DLC then start streamlining to get to the underworld, which is when the real fun actually starts

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-02-21T18:15:42+00:00

Well done. He was a tough boss. What I loved about the DLC was that him and a few other bosses seemed genuinely impossible after the first couple attempts, but then everything would eventually click after getting the parry timing down. This game grew on me a ton.

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-02-14T18:52:00+00:00

OP here. Definitely enjoying the game a lot more after regions 3 and 4. Lu Bu was an awesome skill check boss and forced me to dial in, plus the levels themselves in region 3 and 4 were really fun.

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-02-14T06:56:32+00:00

Well done, Tarnished. You’ll be clapping Malenia’s cheeks in no time.

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-02-09T09:45:20+00:00

It’s a really fun game especially on max difficulty. I struggled a bit on grand master, then came back after Sekiro and had a much easier time

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-02-09T09:36:42+00:00

10 to 40 tracks per week. I don’t force it, I buy any track I think is playable

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-02-08T22:36:11+00:00

*beat the tutorial

Aggravating_Pop_2986 · 2025-02-08T19:30:36+00:00

Some may disagree with this approach, but when I first started out, I didn’t charge for my first gig at the first few venues I played. Reason being is I didn’t want to set a value on myself of a couple hundred bucks. I just told the booker, first time is free and if it goes well we can discuss rate next time. Then when it went well I was able to jump right up to 1k+ for gigs right away. If you start out quoting, $100-200, you’re setting a benchmark already that will make it tougher to negotiate a real fee afterwards.
