do folks have thoughts about distribution on soundcloud vs youtube music for streaming? i’m not really looking for a marketing tie in per se, i’m just trying to connect with an audience of some kind. i guess the thing to do would be to upload to all of them.
@HEAVYVIPER i liked your little videos that you made for your tracks, the basic audio visualization thing

soundcloud seems a little better for just like, discovery and people randomly coming in and commenting, but I can’t even imagine connecting with an audience anymore
i’m probably not the best person to be responding because the last set I played was my techno project and it cleared a room that had previously very intently watched a guy who ended his set with an 8 minute guitar improvisation on top of a drum machine and the guy who invited me to play the show never talked to me again after I dipped so I might be feeling a certain way about just like, the concept of an audience
but I checked my soundcloud after I uploaded my last track and somehow, despite doing absolutely nothing on that page for literal years, people are still listening and commenting and following me, and some of my older tracks have thousands of plays? they’re probably bots but still

SoundCloud is great if you want comments from bots. YouTube allows you to take part in the great non-evil Google ecosystem.
I don’t post stuff on bandcamp because I don’t want artists I know and respect who I’ve bought from to be tempted to try to listen to my stuff. But that’s probably a better home than the others.

since I’m mainly interested in doing music/audio for games (media?) I don’t worry myself too much about promotion. my Soundcloud definitely still gets attention, usually through related tracks.
@stylo glad you like them! a friend of mine is an absolute wizard with OBS, so after watching her work with it I didn’t have much of a problem cooking up something simple. there’s honestly not much to it - just a background with my logo that I mocked up in GIMP, and an OBS plugin that generates an audio spectrogram. it’s definitely worth looking into, especially if you’re considering YouTube for uploads. you can do a lot with OBS with very little work once you’re familiar with it!

I’ve listened to this like a dozen times today, love it. Did you record the parts separately yourself?

it’s a song i wrote and recorded with my bandmate parks (bass) at our friend graham’s (guitar) studio, following on demos/EP recordings for comedown and a few other odds and ends. whatever comes out of these sessions will likely be released as a little EP so we’ll have to come up with a band name at some point
drums are a little loop for now but it’s a damn good loop, isn’t it?
