[quote]roben (24/07/2010)[hr]I actually debate whether it’s a good idea putting things up on soundcloud. I’ve heard some labels are a bit funny about taking a track which has already been played on Soundcloud?
What’s the beef?
Ive a couple of tracks reserved because they’re good enough to be signed and not really sure i should be putting them on Soundcloud… ?[/quote]
Put a 3 or 4 min clip on and disable the download function… simple
Scott…
would have liked to hear some of your production on it dude…
No-one gets to hear that. When it’s available to buy or even steal from an Eastern European web-blog, then sure.

and is any of your production buyable?
No. Is it **** ahaha
thanks for the tip Wayne, really useful. I’ll defiantly give it a go! 
@danny I was wondering the same, sending music to blogs may be another option!
check out http://www.nextbigsound.com/
to see how people are interacting with particular artists and thru what channels, i.e. how they promote themselves,

You can have this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yvvyg5nldnk it’s me doing a 2001 Ben Sims impersonation ***** about with a Ring Mod 'cause I was thinking of buying a new Moog pedal. There’s also the sound of me auditioning some **** clips too. I forgot I was recording.
So, you have no public tracks you’ve produced yourself either to listen to or buy, is that right?
And your advice for unsigned, i.e. the vast majority of, producers is to keep your tracks private and hidden and send them to labels you know publish that genre.
So, if you never get picked up your music will never be heard by anyone except you, your mum and a few close friends?
That’s how I read your advice. Am I wrong? Just want to be clear here.
Pretty much, yeah. Remain hobbyist or give up. If no-one’s interested in releasing your stuff, that should be your indicator.
Unless you’re in a band, then these tools coupled with live gigs make sense.
Also, not advice; just opinion.
Go on Josloan looks like you’re gearing up for a big one. Can I get a Rarrrrr?
No, not really. Just curious as you seemed so sure of yourself. But then, you’re just like most of us, an unsigned hobbyist. That’s fine and that gives me an indication of how much weight to give to your opinions.

Ha Ha, I shouldn’t have asked!
I think Soundcloud is invaluable for getting reviews by people who are into the same genres as me. Not sure I’d take into account my mum’s opinion on a new Progressive track, when she’s rolling to Lionel Richie and alike (That’s no slur on the great Lionel) but I think you catch my drift.
For me reviews and knowledge help develop me further. I just wanted to know some ideas on increasing those reviews!
Thanx for the positive responses, keep them coming!
ah your mother can be the best person to give your tracks a listin, if she likes it then anyone can:L

I think you’ve totally got the wrong end of the stick. Why would I think anything else of myself, other than an unsigned hobbyist. I just prefer to retain an element of dignity, rather than spamming people.
