does
big EDM labels such as Armada, Ajuna, vandit etc.
ACTUALLY listen to all the demos that get sent in.
because they say they recieve thousands a week or something so how could they listen to them all.
does anyone know any A&R ppl in these big labels. do they listen to a little bit and then if they dont like that they wont listen to the rest or do they give it a thorough listen?
curious is all.

They do actually 'listen' to all the tracks they get sent, providing it goes through the right channels.
How they actually listen to it, I can't comment on. But from their experience, I'm sure they could quickly scan through a track and automatically separate the weak tracks from the strong.
That being said, when Vandit caught a glimpse of one of Second Sun's tracks a few years ago, despite the fact is was weak production wise, they definitely saw potential in it. From there, they helped engineer the track to a professional standard and ending up signing them. I believe their first track with them was 'Empire', which eventually appeared on PvD's POD (albiet an edit).
If you're really enquiring as to if its worth sending your tracks out to these labels, then I would say yes. What do you have to loose? |

I don't see why they would listen to anyone of them.
Labels buy finished products. They aren't looking for potential.
If someone is really good, chances are they will know about it before you get a chance to have it heard by your own demo submission. |

There is about 0% of me that agrees with you, the other 100% thinks you know jack . |

Never said I was certain
I just don't see anyone going thru thousands of unsolicited tracks every day when EDM is so disposable. I would be surprised to hear that any of the big labels spend time going thru anonymous submissions.
As far as full of ? Your label owner seems to think otherwise. |

This sounded rather 'certain' to me.

My 'you know jack ' comment was referring to your knowledge of how labels review submissions, seeing as though that's what I quoted and commented on. |

If you're unsure, try posting your track in the Music Producer Promotion forum, to acquire some feedback. It might give you more confidence in yourself, or it might challenge you to make the track that little but better before sending it out. |
