Message Boards

The message boards have been replaced by Our Discord as it has a lot more features that allow us to communicate with each other in a better way.

You may still post on here and you will get some replies but we would really recommend you join us on Discord as it is a very vibrant community of independent musicians.


Please log in to post.

Suggest new features you would like on the site or enhancements to existing features

I would love to see alongside the information of who added a track the date it was added as well.

Hello!
Is it possible to create a new board called something like "SUPPORT REQUESTS" or something similar?

It would be nice if the voting "box" was next to the voting "button" and not on the opposite side of the screen. (This is for those of us who are entirely too lazy to move a mouse around the screen l,l,l)

Sorry-the box that comes up when you click on the vote button

OK I have only just woken up so maybe I`m being an airhead here but what do you mean by the voting "box"?

Again along with my other "lazy" suggestion you might also think about swapping the locations of the "chat" window and the comments list

I was talking with the guys in the chat and it came up that we might find a "production help in audio and maybe video) section of the boards could be useful

That would be great. I hate asking for advice from individual web sites and either getting no response at all or getting a response that has nothing to do with the question or just getting, I assume, some 15 yr old trying to strut their stuff, which honestly just adds to my frustration.

All too often I find that I`ve clicked Next and moved on when I wanted to place a Vote. So if the order of Vote, Next, Tweet could be changed or something else done to make the buttons separate and more obvious that would be helpful. (I admit it could be just the need for a bit more caffeine but then jittery hands might still do it.)

OK let`s get a lot of opinions on this please - if we used YouTube as the vehicle to add your music the this site and I added liking as well as notifications and direct messaging, what else would you need to make this as good as SoundCloud (apart from more members of ourse!)???

I`d also like a smaller image (fills half my laptop screen as is) in the tweet and yes, a reference to the song itself as a link rather than an unknown somewhere in the image.

Thank you Swivelable for the detailed post. Really helpful.

I really should change the Tweet button to a "Share" button where you can choose as it does actually have the link to the song!

ACR to be like SC
=-> The SC upload page with basic info, metadata and permissions really covers the needed info angles
=-> direct link to song (paste-able address link)
=-> direct messaging to other posters
=-> info for soundcloud tracks on ACR is superiior than other streamers - like, share, buy, chart position, SC comments.
=-> I like the likes; nice to have 3 levels of appreciation - simple like, vote, & comments.
=-> Bandcamp has 3 different levels; follow wish list, & buy. Nothing for individual songs; I would want to accumulate likes before making those choices.
=-> Notification page to respond to a histroy of likes and comments
=-> The ability to comment & respond to specific comments (right now you have the response as a separate comment)
( too bad all comments from all streamers can’t be consolidated on ACR page. )
=-> Ability to download and or sell

=-> Be nice to be able to choose a combination of Genres. I like the Rock-Metal-Blues-Indie-Punk Combo ( I love guitars & synth)
but theres stuff in other genres I wish I could get to.
=-> A combination of sources will be good as per the fact that YouTube is picky with mechanical licenses.
=-> Having the waveform shown is a welcome clue to the shape of the song (processing, dynamics, form).

Sounds like a good plan. I`m pretty new to YouTube so I don`t know all (hell-make that most) ways of doing things but what I have seen and what i`ve mastered already make it seem like a good pairing for ACR.

I had a request recently to put comments I made here onto the song in SC but I couldn`t come up with a way to do it. So if there could be a way to search out an artist or a song on ACR that would be great.

Good because sometimes I miss the chance to comment on or vote on a track or I just want to listen to it again and don`t want to wait for it to eventually come back up in the regular rotation.

I will add a search at some point.

Reply to comments
Hey I just thought it would be nice to have the possiblility to reply on comments on your tracks... and that the commentator does see it aswell...

Delete comments
I just did a double entry cause i hit enter on reply... and somehow i thought it didnt get it. so i pressed add again and got a double entry... i was looking for something to delete it?
Further I thought.... what about a comment i dont like to have on my track? :) I would hate not being able to delete it...

All good points and things that I really should have added a while back. Consider my butt well and truly kicked! :P

We just chatted about publishing stuff and i asked for some links....
I think we should have a board with links to publisher, companies, tools that our member uses.... so you could check out all the good stuff :)

Here’s what I’ve used for promotion:

I got the necessary press release from http://www.ArtistPR.com ( https://www.artistpr.com/press-release/lliam-greguez/ ).

http://www.musicsubmit.com/ArtistSubmission.cfm?BN=105822 has gotten me a few good responses (and a number of rejects from being atypical!) Since May they’ve been sending to 30 contacts a week, letting me know who, and then I reply to those who like it.

Check out the the download zips www.3000records.com setup to send to when a station or blog accepts ( http://bit.ly/2oRkq3o & http://bit.ly/2qxYE1j ). from their promoter box ( http://promoterbox.com/#where ). So those two seem to be a good combo.

musicxray.com has targeted promotions, song ratings and fans. Decent rates for promotions, I choose only ones that look promising.
radioairplay.com Seems to be a good short term experiment as to which listeners become fans. Got a promotional deal to get in, monthly rate to keep up.

Keeping up with follow through is the tough part.
Also was not easy narrowing my music into an acceptable category (indie closest I got - as apposed to alternative) and coming up with known artists you sound like.
Most of this translates into awareness, not sales.
