Today: everyone's nodding there heads, sayin "Jon, we got the message". Tomorrow: half of them create a homepage full of rainbows and unicorns, before they send there tropical house track to a death metal label.
Some great advice here. I have my first release out last Wednesday its currently charting at the no1 position in the Beatport trance 100 new releases :)
Hey Jon, I have two questions related to this topic. 1) Is it smart to make a lot of songs in advance and then releasing those like singles after each other? 2) Also, I am a creative guy who does like to do a lot of creative things, I draw, I design with Photoshop, Illustrator and currently I am following a design study which I really love (I work a lot with materials, spatial design and concept development). Besides these I am also very appealed to producing music (especially music in the EDM sphere), eventually I would love to combine all these interests together, but that also seems to be a bit too much in order to be successful. I would say this could become successful in it's own unique way, but is it a good thing to do? All of these interests I do and have for a long time, music production since a couple years, it just seems to be attached to me. Also it is important to know that my skills in production are far from what I want, far from, I am just a mere student in the proces. So do you have any advice for a creative allrounder like me? Like should I combine everything that I love in one act, or should I focus more on some core ideas? I feel that a creative person like yourself, should be very familiar with this. In forward huge thanks for your reply, I really appreciate that! :)
Great tips Jon, thank you very much. You have to be able to do so many things all at once it's crazy. It's hard to only concentrate on music when you have to know so much more about business side of things as well as marketing.
Solid advice. You don't need to be the best at any one thing. It's about stacking your skills. If you want success it's up to you, and no one else. If there's passion, there can be success, in anything.
I would really want to know in the underground/electronic scene who owns the masters, I never hear this discussed and you as a label owner might be able to help
Thank you for this- really helpful. Please could you tell me how you make the tracks without spending any money? That’s the bit I’m stuck on. Thanks. Katie
Hi Jon! I really appreciate your daily videos, especially this one. I have not released any music yet, so this helps tremendously. In my production journey this year, I am planning on releasing an album. It’s a daring move but a move that I won’t regret knowing that it will only make my future music better! Regardless, my question to you is how far out should I plan releasing the first single of the album from the anticipated album release date? This will help keep me on track to get it done by the end of the year. Thank you for your generosity and best of luck with your upcoming release!!
this piece is brilliant Jon, thanks a lot! what you are emphasizing about to investigate and know your market where your music should be targeted at is spot on, including the metal example. nevertheless, guess i am not alone with being less tolerant with singles, clicks, clickbaits and likes and more interested in gentle and humble good music which does not feel like another mlm agent knocks on your door. as a hobby home “musician” just would like to put out my tunes and be able to share it with others and press it on vinyl for those who are interested. feel for those youngsters who should be part of today’s farce music business and have to play according to these stupid marketing strategies. shameful it is.
You still have to do promo and marketing bro. Even if you give that job to the label it doesn't mean that you don't have to develop the brand, connect with your audience, etc. Social media presence is mandatory nowadays. I don't like it either but this is just how it is now. The problem with the labels is that they don't do sh*t, they just post one time a music video and this is it. What is your experience with releasing and social media?
I gave up promoting my tunes years ago, I felt like I was just creating content for all these web sites and getting nothing in return. Now I just make beats and fuck all the rest.

Jon Sine is one of the GOATS in this industry.

Great overview. It's interesting that you counsel against EPs. That was my understanding also, but I haven't heard anyone else say it. Thanks.
This is great advice
My life's motive after watching this video : "Trigger the algorithm"

Id rather give more to the label and have more time to focus on the music, Social media is killing music IMO
True, unless you are starting out and enjoying this aspect of the job too. Later i imagine will become overwhelming. 👍

I did't find the link of the distributer
It's the first link in the description.
@@samsam2235 It was not there before
@@DJ_LEO_75 Ok. Didn't notice that.
Könntest du mal ein Format machen wo du auf unsere Musik reagierst
Also ich meide Spotify komplett, weil ich finde, es ist das Schlimmste, was Musik passieren konnte in den letzten Jahrzenten.
Me watching the Video, knowing i will never Release a Song because i just think my Songs are not Good enough
They will be, think pro, and you will become pro!

What if one is a mean bear living in a cave, but making great music… what this mean bear should do?
stop living in that cave :)
I think you should stick with a song and learn how to make a bad song really good. Also, people may love what you consider to be garbage!
