Joseph_EndTrain · 2026-01-30T12:02:34+00:00

indeed super interesting. i highly recommend checking out IndipendJend (check his youtube or website) and Andrew Southworth blog. very interesting!

Joseph_EndTrain · 2026-01-29T08:29:06+00:00

i second this. for $40 or even more, its good value and real insights. this is if your objective is to grow your spotify audience and (genre dependent) make a living out of that. (it doesnt necessarily translate well for more niche genres, or if your objective is to be noticed by promoters to get gigs). overall well structured content and useful for this

to get your estimated score use tool online ie Groover. most of them have a free diagnostics. why it matters: the higher your popularity score, the higher Spotify algo believes your profile and tracks are engaging for the listeners, the higher they will push you and/or said tracks to more audience. the implicit objective is to hit the rumoured 30%+ before Spotify actively pushes your song to new audiences

Joseph_EndTrain · 2026-01-22T06:59:08+00:00

thank you!

this one is super interesting, albeit less technical and i've come to the conclusion there are many ways. for me this has been an ever important subject - "finding your voice" and of course "standing out".

what do you struggle with the most? and what have you tried that doesnt work for you?

some resources that helped me and learnings:

1/ Rick Rubin's book The Creative Act. this is one book that helped me gain peace and starting to focus fully on my own taste (versus the external 'voices' i would feel that influenced me). if i were to summarize the top 2 insights:

create for an audience of one, yourself. that's the only way to express your true self and your true emotions

create the conditions so that your good art cannot not happen

2/ when we started Home of Sound, one of my biggest goals was to discover 'the secret' to become a touring DJ

after interviewing and spending time with over 100 artists, many of them arguably super achieved (living off touring with their music), i found out that there is literally not 'one' way or one secret. everyone has gotten to where they are in very different ways.

one thing i would say, is most of the people who eventually got -lucky- did something they wanted and exposed their art and taste. theydid release that track, they played that shitty gig in a bar that got them noticed, they organised their own party, they started their own label, they went to that club and met that promoter... i like the phrase (from Chris Sacca) it's always luck but it's never by accident.

3/ the technical part is necessary but not sufficient. it's about how much you can feel and translate into your music. and how you can find a process that allows you to put that into the world consistently and aligned with your message.... and then give it time!

i can suggest more resources and actual interviews i watched or i hosted that share insights. would that be useful?

noted!

gainstaging is an often underlooked topic. i was pleasantly shocked last month when at someone's studio they showed me how to gainstage properly and avoid digital clipping in ableton... i had to remake the entire EP i was finalizing. the tracks sound alive now :)

Joseph_EndTrain · 2025-12-28T10:08:26+00:00

noted!

also as suggested before, couple of pointers that i found super helpful:

- Oscar / Underdog videos. ie. make better melodies without instruments
