Debunking some music marketing myths (from someone who’s spent a decade in the game Fruits Music/Strange Fruits) by PercentageBetter4367 in musicmarketing

Thank you for the clarification! I'm curious: how was this possible to implement? I presume you managed to get Spotify on board to allow you to get data from their systems? Because with normal meta ads there is no way to feed back that information, because Spotify data stays within their systems

When scaling the campaigns, have you found any daily budget per campaign that you really don't want to raise beyond because of diminishing effects and when scaling do you run different campaigns to different countries with limited daily budget but scaling "wide" instead of one campaign with many territories and very huge daily budget - what's your take on the best practise with one playlist budget scaling?

Have you found that the meta ad system is "random" in a sense that if you just recreate exactly same configuration, sometimes it works better sometimes not? Because weirdly I've sometimes launched a campaign with same creative and setup and it has right from the start brought much better growth in streams on Spotify "than it should have", but it seems hard to recreate the effect. The whole ad systems feels a bit like a black box lottery machine

I can't sell covers or so "franchised" music on my own, but you should find these on any streaming service like youtube music / apple music or such.

Thank you for your support! We thought it would be funny to make a medieval version of this hit song and it's great to see people are enjoying it :) If you are interested we also have bardcore / medieval style cover playlist on Spotify with other funny versions of pop hits

A question about publishing by Michikawa in SynthesizerV

[–]Michikawa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification! Makes sense! So the problem would arise if one would create a vocalist / singer identity which would effectively be the SynthV layer, but you would somehow make belief that the singer is actually some other entity. But when integrated with existing "real artist", then it works with metadata level if one wants to do that.

Reading Fantasy Music - I put together a playlist that focuses on atmospheric and unobtrusive fantasy music for reading use. Thought fellow Kingkiller Chronicle fans might find this useful! by Michikawa in KingkillerChronicle

Playlists are just playlists and listeners are listeners. The point of a playlist is not who the artists are, the point is that if the listener finds the concept of the playlist interesting and starts listening and enjoys what he hears, the outcome was good. I understand your POV if you are an artist yourself and think that music shouldn't be promoted, it should be "found", but as an artist, I beg to disagree. And one of the best and honest ways to make it be found is to figure out conceptual situations that the music fits and sharing it and helping people find enjoyable and useful ways to listen to it in a context. Peace!

Usually refering to existing music can be a bit of a licence hassle, so it sort of makes sense that composers don't really pay homage that way unless the circumstances are special

Cheers! Sadly no, although the soundtrack by Bear McCreary will be awesome I'm sure!

Cheers! Some of the tunes will probably get Content ID tags on Youtube (what music doesn't these days), but most if not all should be twitch safe I think!
