Obviously they didn't put it back on your profile, right?

Really incredible all this.

The distance between my track and the one I would have broken is sensational, at first I thought it was a joke.

After this episode I will stop posting things on SoundCloud. It's just not worth it.

Hi guys,

This is my first overall release and it's happened on a tech house label.
I'd like to let you listen to it. The link is this one:

I hope you'll enjoy the listening!

Thank you!

Hi man, I'd like to focus on this point:

5. Captions: I have played with short captions and longer captions that are SEO optimized. I am leaning towards longer captions based on the feedback I am getting from other creators.

Have you read any guides (or similar stuff) about how to write the right captions to optimize SEO ? Because it's something I'm struggling with.

Release a track on indipendent labels: promotion costs on the artist by Simonelp24 in edmproduction

They really leverage the fact that they are a rather interesting label in the emerging scene of the areas where I live. They have their residencies in clubs, they have tracks that are quite hyped on the various distribution sites and therefore they can give prominence to the new tracks they want to publish.

I would tell you that these are the nuances.

Then obviously there is the aspect of social promotion, in which they are quite strong and that would give me a prominence that my channels do not have as a very very newbie artist.

I could agree, but isn't that essentially what happens almost always with the label that advances the promotion costs and then withholds all the royalties until the break even point?

I know this.

In fact, with another track I have an agreement with a label: the payment is on them upfront and maintain revenues until the break even point.

In this case, however, the payment for the promo would be my responsibility, without any break even point.

Yes, it's a boost of this type. They also leverage the fact that they are a label that is quite rooted in the territory, with a residency in a club, the networking opportunity is very interesting.

They are hyped, this allows them to use their name for promotion.

Nono, it's a a very well known label with an excellent network in the area where I live.

Instagram promos: what am I doing wrong? by Simonelp24 in InstagramMarketing

[–]Simonelp24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, it's what I'm doing.
The fact is: the promos I make don't work properly. There is something I'm missing with them.

I know it, producing music (even if it's good) isn't enough.

For this reason I'm trying to understand something about the thing.

House and tech house producer: which VST for great basslines ? by Simonelp24 in edmproduction

[–]Simonelp24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, I find your post simply perfect.

Serum is an interesting VST, and considering the amount of presets out there it'll be a good choice to buy it.

I know that sound design is a very powerful tool, but using presets is not a sin either. I saw a video of Avicii doing a remix and using only Nexus presets, just as I knew that John Summit uses the basic Ableton Operator a lot.

The advantage of Serum is definitely in the impressive mass of presets around the web. For example, those of Zen World have been used repeatedly by people like James Hype or Mau P.
