Originally posted by Raphie I don't trust labels anymore, they just steal your riffs and progressions. A&B really don't listen, have sent 14 tracks now, never an answer, not even a decline, nothing. That's just plain rude. So since TuneCore everybody can be a label so uck em! BTW which agregator dumps on beatport? I went to TuneCore for my album, but still looking for an aggregator to drop some singles on Beatport.

Beatport is totally different from the rest because they want to see quality or a name, or at least the image of one. So once you get on an aggregator, have a business plan, maybe 2-3 releases planned with possible remixes, artwork, tell them how you'll market and promote, tell them WHO supported your songs, etc, only then will they consider you. You might have to be on the smaller sites first before anything.

Originally posted by Kysora I don't think someone who sends Anjuna a link to Speedyshare when they have a very simple direct upload process should be calling me an idiot. What, you think I'm signed to Anjuna? I've sent my stuff to labels and I've been ignored. Where our experiences differ is I didn't come here a month after to bitch about it. I'm really not sure why you're calling me an idiot or telling me to fuck off, either. I didn't sugar-coat my post but I was being civil, there's no reason for you to attack me like that. If you're just going to attack anyone who disagrees with you or what you're doing with your music then you really have no business posting in a forum.

firstly i said i didnt know about Ajuna because of the uploader. i uploaded it just how they said directly on the website so obviously i DONT KNOW ABOUT AJUNA.

Secondly this is definitley not the first time this has happened I find this standard from this big labels. Thats why im bitching.

Thirdly i do think your an idiot because why would i be complaining about labels NOT downloading my track if i didnt actually send it to them.. seriously ?

oh yea tunecore... maybe you can get your friends to buy it. wait, why even use tunecore at all, just sell it to them directly.

you will probably need to spend money on promotion, and promo lists, and whatever else im missing. Usualy labels have contracts with these promotion sources, so its a lot better going through them. in addition, they have a fan base by themselves alone.

For the ones that say they listen to all tracks, yeah that's bad form, but as for other so called 'big labels', what Mr Mystery said is right. They get thousands of submissions a week - sometimes some get missed out.

Not sure on your past production history and other tracks you may have had signed, but think of it like a job interview. The guy with the more impressive resume always has the advantage. Not saying it is right, but that's just the way it is with some labels.

Maybe setting your sights to lesser known labels may be a good idea, if to at least get your name around a bit more.

Good luck in getting your tracks signed!

Alright, thank you. You didn't make that very clear, I didn't realize you uploaded to Anjuna correctly.

My bad, calm the fuck down.

if don;t listen to every tune how did label's artists tunes get listened to. maybe they had a friend who worked for the label>?

I say screw labels, work on making your songs better

once your ready, ship it off to all the labels

what you produce today might not be the same quality as what you produce a year from now, wait till your consistent.

Labels are slow and ridiculous... you never know what's happening

definitely a lot of disingenuous business going on among them, with all the net labels, and how the net has changed the shape of the big ones: Very infuriating promising to get a chance and getting nothing, i'm feeling you john:

It's not about getting released or not, it's about having fair treatment...

the other guys are right as well though: The world isn't fair, and business doesn't give a fuck about creativity: The worse thing about music is that creativity takes a back seat to sales...

ahhh production section rants
