Notice how much fair weather friend bullshit and cock stroking is going on here. You click on the page of some of these guys who leave comments, and their music is equally terrible. Is there just a huge number of shit producers out there who suck so bad they have to compliment each other's poor work to make each other feel good? Is this some kind of social phenomenon?

I mean for how terrible this production work is, I'm amazed there are so many comments.

Agreed! Soundcloud is dead, with all members looking for self promotion, not interested at all in fellow members just only interested in promoting themselves too......

Soundcloud is now positioning itself as the go to choice for mobile media source.

Unless you're a big name with a following you can rely on, you're nobody.

It's just data storage.

And then again no one cares if you are a hit on SC.
The only ones that notice you are like TS wondering why your plays scam did work and theirs didn't it's worse than YT with the additional challenge that unlike YT SC has no audience outside it's self centered wannabee producah members

although i must disagree with the fact that only djs and producers are on SC... sure thats the main audience but its becoming more and more mainstream and now regular people types are signing up to favorite/comment on stuff


the problem with buying followers other than the obvious is if you are gonna do it for SC, you have to do it for twitter, instagram, facebook etc otherwise its going to look really awkward when you have 2k followers on sc and 10 likes on FB

that is the only way normal people interface with soundcloud and that is via facebook. As an artist , that is how you would want it anyways. Soundcloud does not allow you to properly maintain a fanbase. It is too limited. It is an audio player. And thats it.

I see very little people like this. They ALL have a profile (otherwise they can't comment)
and they all do "something" (from DJíng to producing, to...)

i agree, but it is still the best audio player to use as their API is great so you can streamline plays & downloads from all sources like fb, your website very easily

i am also a fan of the "replace audio file" feature which i've yet to see any other app implement yet

i speak as a local dj with actual local fans


not even close to all the people who like/comment on my sc are dj producers



SC really depends on your fanbase... if you are good and your SC followers clicked like because they actually like you, they will follow your updates and listen to your shit

which they can do via facebook. As an artist, you have nothing to gain by having them follow you via soundcloud. Get them on facebook. An marketing pro will tell you that having people follow you on soundcloud rather than facebook is a detriment.

A lot of of the social interactivity has been taken away with the new version of soundcloud. It used to be a platform that worked as a community but they're really pushing away from that.

Don't forget they also did a deal with Getty whereby it was supposedly much easier to put your tracks up for license and they're pushing audio books as well now. They want to be for audio whaat youtube is for visual, and I suspect eventually live off the ad revenue.

It's also a shit audio player, with about the worst mp3 encoding on any online platform, and they have no plans to change that either.

I also suspect that'll you'll be able to sell your wares on there sometime soon as well, it would be a natural evolution of what they want to become.
