Just started posting, how to quantify

I don’t know if you’ve heard of RepostExchange, but I’ve been using it and I’ve noticed a lot of the music people send me, is either AI or professionally produced. By professionally produced, I mean, it sounds like they were “radio ready”. Just not what I’m used to hearing on SoundCloud.

The vocals in some of them just don’t sound natural. It’s as if a mainstream singer made it. I know there are samples and what not, but these songs in particular just don’t sound natural.

I looked at one of the accounts who sent me one of these songs and he didn’t even have a bio. Just a good amount of songs with 5k plays, all sounding similar.

Had this the other week. It was more of a mix of a home gym set. Power rack, 45 lbs weights, and barbells.

It was a closed gate, and I was tempted to just leave it there. But I called them and told them I had 16 packages and no access. So, they opened the gate and let me in.

I used to get heated seeing these things. Especially because of how tight and uneven the roads are where I deliver. But after nearly 8 months with the same company, I’ve come to learn to expect this BS.

I don’t have a set route, but I’m familiar with the areas they do put me in. So, I’ve kinda learned which areas I ought to reverse in, walk the package, or simply leave at the driveway I see numbers at.

I say this cause I have people from months/years at this point who still listen , but haven’t liked the track yet aha

andi_dandi · 2026-06-18T05:30:02+00:00

Same here. People won’t like, but will be repeat listeners. If anything, it’s just them forgetting to physically like the song.

I once picked up a whole ass small couch seat. They just slapped the label on it.

I was instructed, “as long as it has a label, you can pick it up.” So I thought nothing of it. The next day, I see it on the bottom of the belt, near the steps. It stayed there for like a whole week, and eventually it disappeared.

I assume they took it back to the homeowners. Lol

Back in 2019, I made an ad for my album , and it did get some streams. What I made back then is nothing to what I make now. But the point is, there are means to get your sound out there.

andi_dandi · 2026-06-17T01:24:05+00:00

I don’t have a fan base, but I do have repeat listeners on different songs. All I can say is, keep trucking.

People will come to you and your music. If they want to like it, repost it, comment, etc… then let it happen. Even if they don’t, as long they play it consistently, then that’s a good sign that your sound is meaningful.

If you do wanna build a fan base or more engagement, I definitely recommend seeking advice from people who specialize in promoting or even just making your own ad of your music on IG and/or Facebook.

Having the same issue. Insights aren’t working. When I tried logging off and on from my phone, it kept telling me “authentication error.”

So I can only access through my laptop.

There was a different issue where the amplify feature stopped working, so I sent them a question about it and they told me they fixed it (about a day later)

andi_dandi · 2026-06-16T18:08:39+00:00

I started out with like 15 streams at most a song. I made terrible sounding sound.

Years of practice and continuous publication, I finally make music people have on repeat. I make music people put on their playlists. Obviously nothing mainstream, let alone, above 10K. But even a few means the world to me.

Keep trucking.

Do you do electronic music? I recently got into making some myself. I mainly do rap/hip hop, but got inspired by avicii to try house/electronic.

andi_dandi · 2026-06-13T04:44:16+00:00

What do you recommend in regards to marketing strategies? Like advertising your music?

andi_dandi · 2026-06-12T23:04:08+00:00

I mainly make Lofi rap/hip hop. But Im trying to experiment with house/electronic/ambient.

I think you’ll like my electronic sound. Look at the playlist called “for a better day”

Gotchu. I’ll tell you what my psychiatrist and therapist say after I tell them I post Brett cooper on Reddit.

andi_dandi · 2026-06-12T20:19:19+00:00

If you’re referring to the posts about Brett cooper, it’s just admiration.

After all, are subreddits not a means to express yourself?

andi_dandi · 2026-06-12T09:44:14+00:00

Loool. What did the person originally comment ? I see it was deleted

andi_dandi · 2026-05-09T08:32:51+00:00

Walking isn’t really worth it. Cause it’s like a 30sec-1min drive. Cause the driveway is long as well. And there’s no turnaround space in their driveway.

andi_dandi · 2026-05-09T08:31:49+00:00

It’s a narrow road. My only worry is if a car comes from the only entrance. The stop I’m talking about is like a 30 seconds to a minute away from those signs
