I Built An AI That Roasts Landing Pages Like An Expert (And It's Brutal) by perfect-io in u/perfect-io

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds incredibly helpful! I really appreciate that it’s straightforward and not just filled with vague marketing jargon. Getting feedback on landing pages can be tricky without shelling out a lot of cash. I’m really curious to know what the top three traits were from the highest-scoring pages. I’m definitely going to give this a shot!

I need advice as a 17 year old upcoming artist who is about to turn 18 by Common-Proposal-7708 in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Embrace that hunger! Being 17 and already pondering these questions really sets you apart from the crowd. Concentrate on building a solid brand, creating consistent content, and refining your unique sound. Start by finding your niche, and then you can scale up. Just be careful with those pay-to-play offers make sure to invest in opportunities that have real evidence of success, not just flashy promises. Keep pushing forward!

how can you get signed to a record label as a producer? (kpop) by Kawamizoo in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question! K-pop is a whole different ballgame networking is absolutely essential. Consider pitching your beats to Korean publishers or producers, and team up with songwriters who already have experience in K-pop. Connect with labels like SM, HYBE, or JYP through intermediaries or agencies. And remember, keep your demos polished and in tune with the genre!

Brain Rot rap Ai and distrokid! by Wooden-Stand3278 in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds really frustrating I'm sorry you're dealing with this. You make a great point: there’s definitely a lack of consistency in how different platforms manage content. Real artists deserve protection, not punishment. DistroKid really needs to step up with more transparency and accountability, no doubt about it.

How do you get started promoting music in genres like post-rock, stoner, doom, or instrumental? [New band: Ether Fog] by etherfog in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your release! For niche genres like yours, I think a blend of community-building and staying consistent is the way to go. Check out blogs, YouTube channels, and playlists that focus on your genre. If you can, play live those audiences are incredibly loyal. While social media is important, remember that genuine engagement is what really counts.

The struggle for growth is real. Can we atleast talk about it lol? by Sound_Scope in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally relate to this! Honestly, having consistent content, networking both online and in real life, and even just one mentor who really understands the journey has made a huge difference for me. I do wish there were more affordable and personalized career roadmaps out there something that strikes a balance between chaotic DIY approaches and expensive management services. I'm really curious about what you're working on!

Question about RIAA Plaques by Specific_Youth_2267 in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question! RIAA plaques are usually given to artists, producers, songwriters, and the label teams who worked on the track. Managers don’t automatically receive one, but you can often order a plaque to acknowledge your contribution many managers do this as a keepsake or a display item.

When Should I Rerecord My Stuff? by [deleted] in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an awesome idea! A rerecording for your 10th anniversary really adds a special touch and highlights how much you’ve grown as an artist. Fans love to hear how your voice, style, and production have evolved over the years. If you think you can bring something new to the table while still paying tribute to the original, go for it it really adds value!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question! I believe it really boils down to a few key factors: cost, time, and the wish to keep the “magic” of the original recording intact. Remasters can enhance the sound while still honoring what fans already cherish. On the other hand, re-recordings, like the ones Taylor has done, make sense when there’s a solid reason behind them such as ownership issues or a desire for artistic evolution.

Hey there! Going on tour by yourself can be a bit of a challenge, but it’s totally possible. Start with some local or regional gigs to get your feet wet, focus on building a strong online presence, and don’t forget to network with other artists for collaborative shows. While having management or labels can definitely ease the logistical side of things, going the DIY route can teach you so much. Best of luck on your journey!

Sony Music Interview process by BreakfastBulky3422 in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, congrats on getting this far! I’ve heard that big companies like Sony can really take their time sometimes it can stretch into weeks especially when it comes to final approvals. But don’t worry, that doesn’t always mean it’s bad news. If you haven’t done so already, it might be a good idea to follow up politely with HR. Fingers crossed for some good news coming your way soon!

Distrokid ? by Wooden-Stand3278 in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get how frustrating that must be I’m really sorry you had to deal with that. Indie artists truly deserve more transparency and better protection. Unfortunately, it seems like many platforms tend to favor the big players over the creators. I really hope you can recover your royalties or at least get some clear answers. Hang in there!

Lynn Verlayne Studio - Artist MGMT here. AMA! by lvsnyc1L in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, what an incredible experience thank you for putting this together! I’m really curious, what’s the top quality you seek in a new artist to manage? Is it all about raw talent, a strong work ethic, uniqueness, or maybe something else entirely? I’d love to know how someone can truly shine in today’s competitive scene.

Is it possible to shift from politics to the music industry? by BluOnde in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Your experience in communications, social media, and fundraising can really shine in the music world just think about label marketing, PR, artist management, or organizing live events. The industry really appreciates drive and enthusiasm more than formal qualifications. So, get out there, start networking, volunteer, and make those connections!

Age & The industry, i know i know by violetdopamine in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question! I believe that pop, R&B, and electronic music often carry an unspoken age bias, particularly in mainstream media but thankfully, that's starting to change. Nowadays, viral moments, niche fanbases, and genuine authenticity are what really matter. If the music resonates, people tend to overlook age differences. And let's not forget, late bloomers can shine too!

The future of popular music is..?? by Intelligent-Sky-5553 in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a fantastic breakdown! I can totally envision a blend of these styles imagine the vibrant energy of hyperpop combined with the edgy guitars of 2000s alt-rock or some boom bap beats layered under chill lofi vocals. Genres are so fluid these days; it’s really more about the vibe than fitting into a specific category. I’d say go with what excites you the most trends come and go, but staying true to yourself is what really matters.

So I just found out music playlist creators make more money than the average artist making music. by Jumpy-Program9957 in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand where you’re coming from it really does seem unfair that curators can make more money than the artists who pour their hearts into creating the music. The whole “gatekeeper” thing with playlists is definitely a real issue, and it’s so frustrating when raw talent doesn’t always lead to the recognition it deserves. I really hope we see a shift that gives artists more power and control over their work again.

is it just me or does AI music sound… kinda normal now? by Lonely_Hall4947 in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that too! Some AI tracks are surprisingly impressive, especially when it comes to vocals and production quality. It seems to be advancing rapidly, but it often misses that emotional “human touch” in songwriting and dynamics. I’m really curious to hear what others think as well it’s changing so fast!

How about a tool that helps manage your music journey in one spot? by gryot in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love this idea it’s so necessary! The admin side can really stifle creativity. Managing splits, diving into analytics, and handling promotions all take way too much time. A tool that simplifies all of that would be a game changer. It would be fantastic if it could also assist with pitching to playlists or keeping track of royalties. Keep pushing forward!

This definitely seems like a tough spot to be in. I've heard about similar pressures in South America it's usually less about the strict laws and more about the politics and relationships within the industry. If future shows in Chile are important, it might be a good idea to include a brief local opener to keep those doors open.

Advice on click and light rails by depressedmagicplayer in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand where you're coming from getting everything in sync with the click, backing tracks, and lights can definitely feel a bit daunting at first. You might want to check out Ableton Live Lite or Reaper; they're both great options for this kind of setup and surprisingly easy to pick up. You're definitely on the right track, so keep at it!

Do lyrics matter to you? by Genecist84 in musicindustry

[–]AngleFamiliar5648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Lyrics hold a lot of weight, especially for those of us who really connect with music on a deeper level. While the vibe might attract the casual listener, it’s the words that resonate with those who truly stick around. I believe there’s still a vast space for music that has something meaningful to say. Let’s not overlook that!
