🆕 NOW ON SoundCloud ☁️

[SUPER DELUXE] version of
Western Jeff in Tarnation Country

featuring alternate and unused mixes from the album sessions!

I've been with soundcloud for probably 16 or 17 years now, pro subscriber for the most part of that. It's had its ups and downs, and we all know the last while it's become very messy and unstable with very little human input to help.

I still use pro and use it weekly for uploads, that's not going to change any time soon. But I was wondering what alternative sites folk use that aren't full of bot listens, scam DMs, unstable UI etc.

Audius is pathetic, lots of reposting and liking but very little listening or interaction, and questionable analytics.

House-mixes and hearthis aren't too bad but reach isn't great. I've been with both of them for years too.

So, any usable alternatives out there?

I needed to add "flair" to post this--I'm not really angry. I'm just disappointed.

I shouldn't care about metrics, because there aren't any actual listeners left on SoundCloud--just hoaxes, scammers, and hustlers (and no shame to the hustlers--if I had a reason to buy art from someone, I'm sure the people that only message me to sell me their designs are all capable and deserving.)

...but--and this should come as no surprise to other creators in this subreddit--I'd grown accustomed to the juiced up "ArtistPro Discovery" (or whatever that "amplify" program is called) numbers. It is nice when every track you post on SoundCloud gets shown to have received over 100 listens. It can pretend that people are paying attention.

Except occasionally, a track will get done dirty by the algorithm. I feel bad for that track, so I ask people checking out other tracks of mine to listen to that other one that didn't get to 100 listens. And, for almost all of this year...that's worked. Only a handful of tracks haven't at least gotten to 100 listens.

...until this week.

Despite amplifying each track, five of the seven tracks I've posted (I post one track a day--and no, I don't use prompt-based generative AI...I'm just retired and have tons of time on my hands.) haven't gotten CLOSE to 100 listens.

Again--I know none of my tracks are getting 100 listens...but I miss when it said they ALL did.

("Make better music"--yeah, I'm trying--but quality doesn't matter when it comes to listens. If someone liked it or not, it still counts as a listen if they hit play. You could post the modern equivalent to Bohemian Rhapsody, but that doesn't mean it'd get any more listens than any other track (unless you're a known artist, of course...) )

I'm not looking for solutions (unless someone has one, of course.) Just needed to complain to people that'd understand...and as this topic has been shared here plenty of times before, I'm assuming y'all can!

In case you're curious, look up the artist name Interbay (but that's not why I'm posting. Besides, there's no real people listening to songs on SoundCloud, that includes "us" right? ;) )

how do i fix help plzz

First time having this

SoundCloud won’t let me upload tracks anymore because I need to verify my email even though it was verified long ago. I don’t have access to it anymore and they have to verify my old email in order for me to change it, so I opened a ticket with them and received a response only once lol. Literal silence beyond that.

I am logged in on my old phone, I see that the email matches that I am entering on my new phone. I’ve hit reset password about 25 times now and nothing is coming through inbox and spam. Upon looking this up, this is a common backend issue with SoundCloud where the email just never sends. I don’t want to be waiting weeks with no reply from support (yes I entered a ticket) as it seems no one can ever get a reply for this situation or it takes forever so looking to see if anyone has a quicker work around or a solution to this madness

Warsaw

Just a project, spent about a month on it. Feel free to support by buying the Digital and the Physicals on Bandcamp. Also feel free to review, rate, criticise or just talk about it.

I click on mix on Soundcloud but it just gives me the same songs but with slight changes like reverb or slowed.

Example: Every song is just SongA or SongA (slowed + reverb) or SongA. How to fix?

How to make it give me good recommendations that are new and fresh with the algorithm?

I’m new at making music and I thought about posting one of my songs on here to let y’all here. Enjoy! https://on.soundcloud.com/EcsnyIyLkN68LKg3cW

I have a song doing really well, almost a million on Spotify. I've had many people ask me to be on Soundcloud but I know nothing about the site.

I realize someone else has uploaded this song, should I take it down and/or join Soundcloud? lol

- They don't pay for streams unless you pay monthly?
- I'm confused, it's under my artist name but under some other guys profile? Can I "claim" the song then?

Any help or general Soundcloud advice appreciated!

edit: dead internet theory bru, can I get a human please

EDIT: Looks to be an issue with Soundcloud website on Firefox, because I can log in using Chromium. Am I the only person in the world using both Firefox and Soundcloud?

EDIT 2:So I discovered it was an extension called 'Middle-click scroll' which I installed to make firefox more useable. It's a great feature and maybe firefox will include it built-in one day?
I don't know how other people navigate long web pages, do you just scroll mousewheel for ages? Or move across and grab the little scroll slider? Very cumbersome.

------------------------
Does Soundcloud work in Firefox?
After I enter my email address to login, the popup disappears and nothing happens. Then when I click "sign in" again, the popup reappears with the password entry fields shown in the screenshot, but clicking continue makes the popup disappear and nothing happens.

So I can't log in to my artist account to upload new music.
This has been a problem for about a year, but in the past after a few attempts it managed to get through somehow, I don't know.

I disabled adblock and ghostery extensions for the website, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Does soundcloud only work in chromium-based browsers?

Hello,

I'm having a problem with the SoundCloud app on Android. When I try to access the insights for one of my tracks, it asks me to log in, even though I'm already logged in. So, I try to log in via the Insights tab, but I get this error message : "Something unexpected happened. Please Try again."

Does anyone have a solution?

10 min ads cant use

I think this one is done and I am on to the next unless the levels are whacked... some sections are showing a bit of red, but I don't hear clipping. My ears have been known to lie. I added some bass layers, but removed a lot of filters from tech 808 hits that I thought were muddling it up.

My primary email I can’t access cuz it doesn’t exist anymore I made a ticket to follow up and got ghosted by the agent

This is my first work guys.I know it's a bit raw but plz be supportive.
