Yeah I experience that quite a bit more than I care to admit also haha
It's good but the lack of people and interaction sucks. One of my favourite things about Reddit is reading the comments and discussions, but there's almost none of that here.
Hard to beat $10 for unlimited music and podcasts + soon to be audiobooks
Definitely not that, those are worse for you
For me it was networking via Facebook and supporting the labels who released the music I enjoyed. It doesn't go unnoticed. But for larger labels, I think it's about submitting good work consistently, even if the first few are rejected.
Sadly the scene for this subgenre isn't exactly big enough for touring and shows (yet, fingers crossed!). But yes, I finish my mix and send it in for them to handle mastering, artwork, distribution, and marketing within their own channels. They will provide the marketing packet with artwork, etc. a week or two before release so I can share on my own artist pages as well :)
They're great! I used to be an artist on that channel and relax and listen there to find new artists and sometimes share my own tunes. If you want to support the artists directly, following label channels such as Emergent Shores and Synth Collective can help!
That's kind of you to request! I hope links are allowed: My Linktree
No apologies needed! It's not much and it depends on your audience as well as your label. I'm lucky where the labels I work with split 50/50 with the artist. However, that split comes after the distribution take. With my current numbers, I probably get paid out $100-150 each year. As your catalogue grows and your streams get higher, that does grow significantly with time.
I make melodic progressive house music. AMA!
I'm a small artist but do sign my work. I've been enjoying Lemmy for some time now and want to push this community to interact more and grow! So I thought one way I could contribute is to do a little AMA about what it's like as a signed artist making house music :)
