Sending Demos To Labels

[Icetickle]

@bassbum: You can try making a logo for yourself.
And I checked your tunes, "brostep" that I actually enjoy. In the past year most of dubstep drops sound odd to me.

As much as you probably don't want to hear this, maybe you just aren't good enough yet. It might do you some good to focus solely on production for the next 6 months to a year and then start submitting your tunes again. Submitting you tunes to labels has to take up a good chunk of time, so with that extra time being used for production, you'll get better faster.

Another thing you could try to get recognition from labels is competing in remix competitions so that they are forced to listen to your track. If they like it enough they might even release it as part of a remix EP, who knows.

The whole conversation we have here is based on being at the point where you already enjoy listening to your tunes and you want to share em with people.

I get in mood where I make dreamy-ish tracks.

Spectrafunk (mrhrfnk) actually inspired me to make these airy melodic drum and bass tracks... @spectra: Thanks for dat mon!

@Bassbum: Why don't you do some grime with your rnb friend? Of course if he can rap.

@Icetickle
We haven't made a track together for some time because he has a new job and dos'nt really have the time for it.

I'm aware of that. Just because you enjoy listening to your tunes doesn't mean that they are good enough to be released by labels yet. I was simply pointing out the fact that maybe he should just wait longer before he tries sharing his tunes with labels again.

If you fail to sign your ep, then yeah. Release it yourself and share it with as most people as possible, and then make a new one and try to get that one signed.

I'd say it's better to sit on a set of tunes and improve them instead of throwing them away for free. It's good to build a fanbase and all that, but you could spend a lot less time refining what you have than starting over and trying to exceed what you did previously. Assuming of course that the tracks aren't fundamentally flawed beyond redemption.

It'll be better for building your fanbase in the long run because you'd have a more polished collection of tracks online and they seem more legit if there's a release behind them.

Oh yeah reworking old stuff is brilliant.

[skimpi]

nah i cant be arsed reworking old tunes, like yeah if you listen and the mix is a bit off or you wanna change something and know what to do then yeah, but if you are kinda happy with it but no one else is digging it i cba changing it so people like it, just make a new tune haha.

if no one is diggin some beats I aint like, ahh I need to improve the tunes and change them to something else. I just think like, I need to make the next tune even better.

The longer you are producing the better you are at it. => Your older chunes will be lower quality but maybe still good in the melodic/arrangement/sample choice aspect.

The point is: Bringing the quality of good old tunes you made.
