Yeah, make another video about LANDR Distribution. I have tons of plugins, but the Distribution Pro plan for $44.99 a year is what I think I will get. Go into the "terms and conditions" located in the "Legals" section at the bottom of the page. When an artist signs up with one of the distribution companies, they need to know what it says in the contract they're signing with the distribution company.
Exactly , the man is a con for baiting us like that
This sounds too good to be true. An in-depth of all the features would be even more helpful. Thanks, I'll check it out
Just uploaded another installment in the series! ruclips.net/video/EB7iZlYvK-o/видео.htmlsi=LwvVHvSK78WMkf2v
@@IndieMusicAcademythat video has nothing to do with landrs features let alone an in depth look at them?
They’ll probably raise the monthly rate in about 1 year.
It seems like a great deal.
Great video! Would love to see an in depth distribution video. Love your content man!
Noted! Thanks for the request!
@@IndieMusicAcademy yes please
@@IndieMusicAcademy
When the registration asks “do you have a label”?, what does it mean?
Does it refer to your cover art logo/photo?
@@jean.marion
Thanks Jean, it clears the confusion for a newbie like me.
Great video! Would absolutely love to see the full video on just distribution from Landr🙏
Will do! I'll work on that.
Thanks Ryan! Also for mentioning how things work with the cover licensing! I would like to see a more into depth video on the music distribution part of Landr☺️
Thank god i came across this video this might be one of the best distributers ive ever found
thanks - great! Looking forward to watch your deep dive into the Distribution💥
Thanks for this Ryan. I signed up with Distrokid, and put one song out so far. I don't like that they charge foe every little thing, then make you pay to keep your song live. Landr looks good.
I being with Distrokid for the last 4 years. You be fine until you need support. A support ticket can take 5-7 days to respond. If by any change you get flag from Spotify you are on your own. They will remove the flag content and there be nothing you can do about it.
@@jorgaridya7085 Another reason I am looking elsewhere.
tell me please did you have any problems with distrokid regarding licensing and distributing your tracks???
landr is blocking my uploads..
Thanks
@@jorgaridya7085 Hello, what are you using currently??
Distrokid is the only distributor I've had a problem with so far. I've tried many and only had my tracks taken down on Distrokid. This is, of course, my own personal experience.
I signed up with Landr Studio Pro last night using your link and did NOT get the discount. I emailed them but havent heard anything yet. I do appreciate your videos on these distribution systems, almost did cdbaby but I went with Landr because of your videos. Thanks. Either way Im excited to finally get started ** Update ** LANDR made it right. I got my savings.
Are you happy with them?
@@user-witchysabrina I havent released anything yet but they have a lot of tools, courses and other features. I have a good first impression so far. I am still learning but i have "tested" the mastering plugin and it looks promising
Hows it going so far?
@@Prodbynickk There is so much to digest i havent finished/released any songs yet but I think its the best choice
@@user-witchysabrina I think I will be. There are so many features
I watched this and I bought the frickin subscription :) looks good so far
Please do in-depth video re: distribution. Also one about how and why to get and use ISRC and UPC numbers/codes.
Best company i have used so far for mastering and distribution.
Excellent video! I would like to see a deeper and longer video about LANDR. I'll watch it all, even if it's an hour long 🙂
Haha amazing, I just uploaded a 27 minute video so hopefully that ties you over for now :) Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/VFfgN9AzrYg/видео.htmlsi=rBODhypwtHfprMd5
Purchased the Pro plan in January. Use it all the time. Took advantage of some of the plug ins and checked out some classes. Mainly use the mastering feature for all my created tracks. Makes such a difference from my original DAW track. Haven't used the sample feature yet and not sure if that is really something I want as I have a go to company I am very satisfied with. Distribution and/or collaboration are not in my picture yet. Focusing on two of my YT music channels as I am still in learning phase.
Thanks for sharing your Landr experience!
I recently subbed to you , trying to learn as much as I can, asking questions as I hear you talk thru your video ...thank you
I signed up with Landr because of watching your videos thanks!
Thanks for your very informative video on Landr Studio! I signed up yesterday for the Studio Pro yearly version. They had 36% off but it was still $191. That probably won't renew at that rate. However, I need to ask about sound credit usage. Are the credits reissued monthly or yearly? Do you have to use them ALL up before they are reissued? I couldn't find anything on this. Thanks Ryan!
Can you do a video about LANDR's terms of agreement..Also more details on the distribution side.
I would love to see a deep dive into distribution, including a walkthrough of everything involved in an album release (artwork/graphics, scheduling, etc). And can you explain some of the Pro features?
Just uploaded two more videos about these topics :)
Great information! would also love a video of walking through the distribution process.
Yes! I just filmed one here it is! ruclips.net/video/2aoeF22l8ec/видео.htmlsi=I3_Ln_JS27g2nJ0Q
Sweet, thanks for making these!
Would you be able to do a detailed breakdown of the label distribution portion of Landr. But the way you do a great job at explaining these topics.
Thank you for this I used the promo code still valid as of today
On the RUclips Content ID, it says "Limited Time". Does this mean the ID lasts for a limited time, or that the offer is only for a limited time?
Thanks bro!
🔥🔥🔥. I just want CD Baby to do automatic split payouts. I'm about to leave them.
Yeah CD Baby is missing that feature, I wish they had it too.
@@IndieMusicAcademy Amen to that. It'll literally be the icing on the cake 🎂 🤌🏻.
Same
@@mutmasterj 👍🏻
How do they handle lyrics upload? Is it extra for Spotify like it is on Distrokid? Also do you get a version of the mastering software to use in a DAW or just the Ai online version?
Hi Ryan, yes I would like a video ONLY on distribution for Landr,I do have a question can you use to different distribution places? I mean for 2 different albums or singles ? You dont have to be stuck with the same right? Thank you for all your videos.
Some say that it's okay to have more than one distributor... others say that it's bad and it confuses Spotify. In my experience, I've not had any problems using more than one distributor.
Moved over to Landr from Tunecore. Their offerings are so much better for a yearly price.
Thank you for all of the information & insight!
Could you please explain a little about sample clearing via Landr?
Sure thing! With the Landr sample library, you don't have to clear any of the samples. Your subscription to Landr is your license to use these samples in your tracks.
For outside samples, you'll need to clear the sample directly with the controlling publisher before you distribute. This is the way for every distributor to my knowledge.
Great education video. So, If I make some music in Suno, say 20 songs, no cover song, just Suno, can I distribute all trough Landr and pay just the yearly fee?
Thanks for the code, it worked on top of their 50% off yearly subscription to their distribution pro tier!
I am sooo brand new !! I write songs and have many...I just barely got Cubase that I am trying to learn...ugh...But yes, please do a video covering details from the very beginning. Artwork ? didnt know thats a thing , a new jargon for me ...ya can you do a fischer price video for newbies! I am actually bout to sign up on LANDOR NOT KNOWING anything and learning from your videos.....btw thanks for the 20% discount...going there now ! More DETAIL videos!!
Hi! I know sometimes people get there songs removed from Spotify from false copyright strikes, false bot streams (that the artists themselves did not buy or setup), and etc. how does one go about being able to put their music back up onto Spotify if all there songs get removed unfairly? Thanks
Back about 4 years ago I used Landr for two different bands and had to switch away from them for one of the bands immediately because Landr posted our first song under a different artist and I could never get it changed. I would email them and contact them through the contact us on the website, but I could never get ahold of anybody to talk to in person about getting the situation corrected; and although they would respond to both the emails and the contact us correspondence and say they were going to get the posting corrected, they never did correct it. So, I had to drop them for this one band and redistribute through someone else so we had our song under our band name. Again, that was about 4 years ago so maybe their help is better now!? I also ended up redistributing the other band just because at the time I didn't want two services to have to handle, but otherwise Landr was good.
Thanks for this video!
Thanks for the video. Landr seems the best for me (so far anyway) as I would like to use the '5 project' feature and that is hands down cheaper than Distrokid. There is a girl music attorney that has dissected the contract landmines in the other major services and they are all parasitic vultures. I haven't been able to compare Landr yet but they can't possibly be worse.... at least I hope not....
Sent them my first album a week ago and still "in review"
you will be fine. just hang in there. they will take care of it. I've had nothing but positive experiences so far with them.
@@jaylo310 Ok Thank you, everything ended well, yesterday they posted it on Spotify but I had to wait almost 17 days
@@jaylo310 Thank you everything ended well, yesterday they posted it on Spotify but I had to wait almost 17 days
so my question is, what if you collab with a producer or artist that has a different distributer? how do the splits work on that?
Yes, LANDR distribution video please!
Just released the video: ruclips.net/video/2aoeF22l8ec/видео.htmlsi=i2UZJsSaPkmPn37X
Which subscription would be the best if am managing 5 artists? Can you help with more details on that?
Great review! Is it also possible to switch distributors? All our tracks are now distributed via distrokid but I might consider switching to Landr as this sounds really attractive!
Yes you can! I have a video on that here: ruclips.net/video/zNNVghu4au8/видео.htmlsi=yjzt0Sn89VvSk172
Awesome! Quick question: can you have 2 primary artists on a song that is not featured but instead both artist composed the song in a collab, can you use the Distribution Basic plan or do you need to pay $10 for the additional artist to be on the song as Primary instead of “Featured”?
That's a great question, pretty sure you can do that even on the lowest distribution tier. I show an example in this video here: ruclips.net/video/2aoeF22l8ec/видео.htmlsi=i2UZJsSaPkmPn37X
what about publishing royalties ?
thank you so much for the video
I see at 14:18 that you can have 5 Artists. Is it available only under Distribution or also under der Studio Pro? Cant find anything on LANDR itself. Thank you 🙏
Sold. Signed up and used the link. Watched a bunch of your stuff recently. Thanks for the great content Ryan!
Legend!
Do a video on distribution in detail with Landr,please!
I just uploaded one :)
Thanks I've been spending some time learning about these platforms to decide what will work best. I do have a question if I may. Once my distribution is set up it is then up to me to promote my songs and drive traffic to the platforms where people can purchase and use my music correct?
It’s up to you to develop online fans and real fans. Nothing beats live performance.
More details about LANDR Distribution please .....
Hey I am looking to purchase the landr studio standard subscription. I am an artist myself, but I have a question how many primary artist will I be able to add to a song? Most of the songs I do generally include 2-3 people. Will this plan allow me to do that? Unlike distrokid who charges extra for adding additional artists?
Do Landr bills their users for Canada government taxes (their headquarters are in canada?) , deducting automaticly from your royalty gains, even for non-canadian users? I saw that Distrokid, which is based in NY has been doing that, charging 30% and it really sucks. For that I would never sign with them
Does your distribution service come with a contract agreement... guaranteeing that the Artist will be paid royalties for the sales of his music? Will it say that in your terms and conditions ? Before uploading your music please read the terms and conditions!
Yes with the distribution
Just uploaded here :) ruclips.net/video/2aoeF22l8ec/видео.htmlsi=i2UZJsSaPkmPn37X
What's that "artists" number truly means? If I'm going to release a complication album of 10 artists (performers?) than I'll need to pay a lot extra?
15:48
why if we buy studio standard is only just 1 artist include?
I have Landr and Songtrust. Does Landr already distribute overseas? Would it be harmful to apply for both at teh same time?
can you downgrade your subscription once you get the higher ones?
Imagine the distress when everything is taken down because of a lapse in payment. The fact that LANDR arent chumps and just switch to the free plan should be mandatory lol thank you
I have registered by I don't know how to use it
That sounds nice, but will I risk the chance of getting accused of paying for fake streams on Spotify like DistroKid does? And also will it takes days before I can talk to someone if something happens to my songs? Honestly, this is what I hate about distribution services in general, they don't care about you and only want your money with the least support possible.
Landr does have a premium support tier with real humans which is nice.
@@IndieMusicAcademy yeah, you convinced me of switching
They don’t allow modifying the audio of a release
Which distributors allow that? I'm pretty sure an ISRC is applied to a unique audio recording. Technically that would just be re-distribution if you got new audio and a new ISRC? Genuinely curious as to which distributor has this feature.
Can you transfer your cathalog from distrokid to lande?
Unlimited MP3 + 36 WAV masters /Unlimited HDWAV masters / what are the these ? and what are the differences between them? Thank you
Audio quality and format. Regular WAV is industry standard.
Great info. if I do studio pro subscription and then next year I want to change to standard, can I do it? thank you in advance
Yeah you totally can. You can even cancel entirely and they will never take your music down which is one of the best features.
So I’m a new artist I think I may try this it seems like the least scam one I’ll let yall know how it goes
So with LANDR, we dont need to use Distro ? or CD baby or any others? just LANDR?
Correct, you could potentially release all your music using only LANDR
Nice one😍NOW how to release music as collaboration
I cover that in this video here! :) ruclips.net/video/2aoeF22l8ec/видео.htmlsi=i2UZJsSaPkmPn37X
Are you saying Way file ? or Wav file ? where do you get those from ? thank you
.WAV is an uncompressed audio file format (it keeps the audio high quality)
Is the $15 cover song clearance the same for a clearance on a sampled beat?
They are usually not interchangeable and not the same thing.
What is the release time incomparrison with cdbaby ?
Landr requires 14 days of lead time if you're scheduling a release in advance. They also have an "Release ASAP" feature that will get your songs in stores anywhere from 2-7 days. You don't get to set your release date using that mode.
Is it possible to claim your artist profiles such as an official artist RUclips channel using land distribution?
I demanded for it, two days ago. Will let you know if that works.
I'm pretty sure that RUclips is releasing a feature where you can link your distributed music to your RUclips channel.
I'll have to check in on that more, but I think this is a youtube feature and not a distributor feature.
You can look up how to do this on RUclips. I’ve done it a couple of times.
How do you get ISRC codes??
There are a couple ways, I cover that in this video here: ruclips.net/video/2aoeF22l8ec/видео.htmlsi=i2UZJsSaPkmPn37X
Do they copyright your songs ?
They don't, you need to follow the instructions in this video: ruclips.net/video/EB7iZlYvK-o/видео.htmlsi=LwvVHvSK78WMkf2v
Finally
The time has come!
Licensing...
This really feels like a commercial
it is indeed, landr is anything else than legit...
are you using some distributor which really works as they promiss in their membership.contract?
All I did was walk through their website and read the features 😂
@@instantdislikechannel5699Have you used Landr? What issues did you have? Looking to switch from DistroKid
Problem fixed, thanks to Landr!
Explanation in the comments afterward...
______
😱 Landr..my devastating experience: 😆
got an entire archive with classic piano tracks + synthave tracks with over 300 songs.
-choosed the pro plan
- uploaded daily 5-8 tracks
-after 2 weeks got the first message that my tracks won´t appear because the market for my musicstyle "is oversaturated" at the stores and that specific tracks are not allowed.
-after asking whats the problem with my track, the answer was more direct...I uploaded too much in too short a time and the tracks are similar, which is quite common for classic-piano and synthwave tracks, furthermore this would be an indicator that I use samples
By the way:
The Pro-Plan says: Unlimited Uploads!!
Now i ask myself how other Artists are getting legit, and smaller ones as I am are being just pushed beside with such "stpid" explanations...
If this is the usual practice in the industry, then there won´t be any licensed electronic music like trance, techno, minimaltechno, vaporwave, dreamwave, ambient, synthwave and even classic-tracks, only becaus they all sound similar, they use similar beats, synth- or piano-sounds..
Oh wow, that's an incredible story. I'm sorry that happened. It definitely seems like you hit the limit for some kind of internal spam flag that they have.
Were you able to continue uploading your music at a slower pace?
@@IndieMusicAcademy In any case, I was patient during the days of uploading because I knew that I would be uploading a lot, and so after about 2 weeks the customer service contacted me and briefly explained to me the "oversaturated market" and that certain songs would not be accepted, but that Landr had no problem with my tracks.
I wasn't offered a license without distribution, the RUclips content ID would have been great, but apparently they don't want to offer anything at all...
Well, the fact that the person from customer service wrote that all synthwave songs sound similar shows me that there is someone in customer service who has no idea about this style of music, for others, for example, Mozart sounds just as good as Brahms, and yet they are different compositions...
In short, I am accused of having uploaded songs in a short space of time that were produced with samples...
The email discussion is still ongoing and I am waiting for the next replies, because I have confronted these facts with their service-team.
And yes, I can still upload how much and whatever I want...but I will wait for a solution, because this is completely inappropriate to me, since so many "artists" are coming up with their licensed tracks on every corner, and landr is making it hard for newbies to enter any market, this behaviour is surely not the goal of a music-distributor, which on the first sight does not limit anything!
P.S. if you know a distributor specifically for EDM, please let us know, because Landr was obviously a big flop for me.
Thank you
@@IndieMusicAcademy Hello & short update...
Everything is fine, the Landr-Team gave green light after I send them photos of my musicgear (software & hardware)...
I am happy that we found a solution
👍
@@instantdislikechannel5699 what you said is same thing that happens with major distributors like TuneCore and Distrokid but instead they just give you Bot message, block you and say no refunds, nothing u can do about it but get scammed.
@@instantdislikechannel5699 what they said about samples does not even make sense, Landr them selves provide SAMPLES, these companies are just being annoying now because spotify has been sueing distributors because some of their users are using bot streams or stolen content
Insane how much music has been enslaved
What do you mean?
It’s the complete opposite, music has been getting less enslaved as time went went on. Now we’re at a point where indie artists can make a living without going industry
Where can I hear your music? This distribution company seems like they charge way too many fees
