damn this brings me back to 2014 when i first started producing and released the worst beat tape ever lmfao. Now that i've evolved, definitely going to revisit this. appreciate the content!
The last few days I was thinking about this whole process, the how to and started selecting some potential videos to watch then you post this video with all my questions answered..There are no coincidences! Thanks so much!
I have learned so damn much from your channel. I've been producing music for 15 years. I only just recently got into releasing and monetizing my stuff.
L.Dre bro thanks for sharing these insightful tips. Following from Swaziland 🇸🇿❤️🙏🎶🎹. I am learning big time. In my 42 yrs, I have decided to pursue hip hop gospel. Thanks a million times. You king
I've been uploading 10 tracks at time because it just seemed like a good number. I had no idea 10 tracks was the minimum to be considered an album on Apple Music
Distrokid does not work with UMA companies (the largest music services in Russia), and this is considered the entire Russian audience.you can't use Russian letters to name tracks on Distrokid... This is generally stupid shit, discrimination against the Russian audience, which is much more active and more than other European countries. I do not advise anyone to Distrokid, you just lose a huge part of people.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@@justduit1879 Russia is literally like it's own continent and while it's got a huge population I highly doubt they wana liston to and buy American or British music.
Had this on my Watch Later list and I am not taking it down! Was talking with a mentor of mine and the idea to put together a beat tape through the rest of this month (I'll drop the story if/when I make my self-deadline), and just happened to come across this video. If that's fate or Big Brother, I don't care. I love inspiring non-flashy shit, and that's you. I'll definitely reach out at some point next month WHEN it's ready to rock.
Brooo, I was thinking about it for a long time and this video just motivated me to finally do my 1st beat album and release it on all platforms, thanks!
Thanks L. Dre I just uploaded my 1st trap beat to distrokid and needed to know how to upload an album and this video helped me a lot. Love your music keep vibing ✌🏾
Started using distrokid a few months ago, uploaded my 1st proper beat tape on there :) , just having a problem rn with marketing and getting streams. But aye great video!!
Here's my question if you can answer. As producers making beats, should you tag the beats you upload to streaming sites to prevent it from being stolen, whether its ur own producer tag or a generic one like "purchase your track" and 2nd question, if a beat you made gets sold, do u have to take down your instrumental if you had previously upload it?
Preciate you taking the time dude. Maybe I just need to look a little harder through your channel... but do you have any info about releasing beat tapes including samples from other songs? Thinking about dropping a tape but not sure on exactly how to go about releasing sampled music the proper/right/legal way.
Hi L.Dre I was wondering if you could do a video about your setup and the equipment you use for all the beats you make. It would help me out a lot to see a pro's point of view on equipment and stuff.
I personally recommend it just for peace of mind purposes. One day you may not be able to pay for DistroKid whether you pass away or if there happens to be an issue with your back account when one of your payments is due. Yes, it's an extra expense, but at least you'll know for sure your music will always be available.
@@LMarquee for me, I can't understand how artists (especially independent artists) should pay *that amount per release to keep the song(s) there. The music industry is definitely rigged.
Hey l.dre don't use check the shazam option it is a ripoff! Apple bought shazam, so if you distribute to apple music it will automatically be added to shazam and siri.
I need new friends around me lol. I have been putting my music out on all platforms, plus social media and only like 5 people only fuck with me (which is 100% fine cause they my day ones). But it makes me work harder because eventually something good will have to come out of all this!!
Skip to 7:14 if you only need help learning how to upload to DistroKid 👍🏾
would love to see you make some artwork
"Let me just change out something real quick" - "So that actually took ALL DAY!" 😭😭 no truer words have been spoken by producers
True.
This timing is so eerie... I just finished submitting my first two songs on distrokid. You're an inspiration man.
Let's goooooo
Same! Haha
Follow me on Spotify @finestyle if you love beats
Good sh~t. Bro. 🙏🏾I'm trying to post my first 3 beats on beatstars before this month is up. I can't wait!🤘🏾🤘🏾
damn this brings me back to 2014 when i first started producing and released the worst beat tape ever lmfao. Now that i've evolved, definitely going to revisit this. appreciate the content!
Haha I feel that I definitely deleted a bunch of tracks from 2015 😂
this is real talks, i started out doing beat tapes in 2017 best decision i ever made.
The last few days I was thinking about this whole process, the how to and started selecting some potential videos to watch then you post this video with all my questions answered..There are no coincidences! Thanks so much!
Glad I could help!

I just used your link. Lets Go!
Thank you!!

1000/1000 for distro kid
Keep up the great work !
Wasn’t ready for that Gami ref. Gami x L.Dre collaboration????
It surprised me too
Gami is such a legend fr
Im gonna do this🙏🏿
Please make a video on how ti make art work for projekt. That would help alot🌹
Have you ever used the Leave a Legacy feature?
No but I might one day
I personally recommend it just for peace of mind purposes. One day you may not be able to pay for DistroKid whether you pass away or if there happens to be an issue with your back account when one of your payments is due. Yes, it's an extra expense, but at least you'll know for sure your music will always be available.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about Distro. I’ll give it a shot tho. Thanks Dre 🙏🏾
This was a extremely helpful video. *Salute.
Yes show us how you make album covers
What if you have a beat on a already released beat tape and an artist wants to use it for a placement ?
Hard af 🔥🔥🔥
what about beat tapes with samples?
Can you say how you make lofi music?
A beginner type tutorial?
@@LDreTheGiant Love your work can you make a lofi version of you got a friend in me from toy story?
Yes, please do a video on cover art
Perfect timing man
Very informative video!
Thanks bro!
I have a question, can we upload an instrumental version of a song + a version with a singer + a radio edit version, please?
Yeah bro make a video on how to make artwork
Thanks man! When do you upload your songs on UA-cam? All songs on release date or song by song?
Thanks 👍
I watched in 144p to watch to respect your craft
What's good to make artwork with apart from PS
This is useful. Are there any other music disruptors that are decent for musicians?
Yo do you know how to add a deluxe ? Without having to drop another tape beside it type shi,
Thank you 🙏🏽
Hey l.dre don't use check the shazam option it is a ripoff! Apple bought shazam, so if you distribute to apple music it will automatically be added to shazam and siri.
Do you upload sample beats?

i felt this, the real ones are there for you, keep your circle small but hopefully something good will happen and it'll be worth it
hi i from colombia, your video is amazing, im beatmaker too, ty for all
Thank you !
I need the link
Well, what about your publishing royalties? Definitely do that as well.
Good stuff !! Do you put tags on your beats when you load it to Distrokid?
What if I’m using copyrighted samples?? I can easily make my own music, but I like putting samples together like a puzzle.
This was really helpful. I’m wondering if you copyright or register with ascap or BMI or sesac? Does that impact your payment for streams?
I wanna know the answer to this as well, is it worth copyrighting your beats?
