    This was super super helpful, as my first time trying to distribute a song i was really confused about the spotify and apple etc profile mapping as i hadn't created an account for that or anything, but this cleared all my worries. Just need to wait a little while! :D

      Basically it's what portion of the song will play on iTunes when people preview the track. Also, it's the default start time when people use the track on Instagram or TikTok for a video, but users can still choose where it starts in those platforms if they want.

    Do you have a video where you explain how to create an artist account on spotify?... NOBODY EXPLAINS WELL HOW TO DO THAT!, my question is how to reclaim an artist account, I already have a song released and live on spotify that I can play it myself in the App, but when claiming the account my name does not appear with my cover photo (I think, I suppose your name should appear with the cover or profile photo that you put on that account), or I should take any of the ones that appear to obtain a kind of "access" to the "artists" section, and then change my data, cover, etc?.
    Excellent video! Thank you very much for your time!

    Great info! Thanks. I do have one query.
    Should one upload their music on SoundCloud before it goes live on these other distribution platforms OR should be it the other way round? What is the best practice?

    • @freshlysunlit
      @freshlysunlit  9 місяців тому +1

      It's normally a bigger deal for music to go live on Spotify and all the distribution platforms, and it can help the algorithms on those platforms if you get a lot of plays shortly after it's released, so could get hype for that release then release on SoundCloud and Bandcamp after that. Ideally I think it's good to release everything as close to the same time as you can.

    • @freshlysunlit

      So it's free to download and use, but I still get royalties from streaming, like Spotify. Just don't have UA-cam Content ID setup. But Soundcloud takes a huge cut from that anyways. I don't make much from royalties at this point, but it's enough for a coffee every month!

      Hi Andile. You have to claim your Spotify for Artists profile and Apple Music artists profiles on those individual platforms, and you can only do use after your music has been distributed and is live on those stores. For UA-cam you need 1000+ subscribers to claim your channel there.

    • @freshlysunlit
      @freshlysunlit  Рік тому

      I think if you use the same ISRC of the tracks that have already been released and then upload them again with the rest of the new songs it'll put them all together and it should keep the play count from the tracks that were already on Spotify. kinda like how some artists release a single and also an album, but you can find the track as a single or on the album and it has the same plays. So there's duplicates of the track on their Spotify profile, but they are linked together.

    What if your track was denied for monitzation so they asked to resubmit with a file of the licensed agreement but it wont let you click on it in the iCloud folder once you click on upload files, like the file is there but its dim and it wont let click on it. very frustrating i hope you can help

    • @freshlysunlit

    Hi there, thank you for the very helpful video. I followed your steps to release my first cover song. Unfortunately it is being rejected.
    An mail that i received says:
    "It appears that you are attempting to distribute a cover song, however, you must obtain a mechanical license from the original writer/publisher with a minimum of 100 digital downloads to distribute to Apple Music and other stores which allow downloads. If you have already acquired this, please include it when you resubmit your release for review.
    Please only submit full legal names in the Composer, Lyricist, Writer and Studio Musician fields (first name and last)."
    The cover song I made is written by Jivani ( birth 1846, death1909 ), an Armenian songwriter, and his work is now on the public domain.
    So, in the contributors section where it says "Please include at least one Main Artist and Composer.", I write my name as "Main Artist", and "Jivani" as "Composer (Legal Name)".
    The question is - how do I "obtain a mechanical license from the original writer/publisher" as they mention in their rejection email ?
    Please help me to overcome my first release :)
    Thank you.

      You have to contact SoundCloud support and ask them to take it down..

      They changed the some to SoundCloud for Artists, so repost doesn't exist anymore
