    Make sure u add a watermark though. In case someone takes ur track. Its happened to me! Also, send a mp3, not a 24 bit wave file! Go into software and add metadata. U can add metadata without it affecting the track.

    Hi there guys, just a tip the track must be mixed for mastering for the label like in the video?, or the track must sounds good, and the label will provide for mix and mastering standards to the artist after? Or it depends about the label? .
    Kind regards.

    • @MayenMusic
      @MayenMusic  4 года назад

      manuyel96 you want to make sure that your track sounds the best, and it’s up to par with releases in the label you are sending demos for. If they want the track, they might ask to master it again or not. You just want to make sure your track sounds fire 🔥 so they get blown away

    Thank you for the tips👍🏻 what do you think .. should you always upload the whole track to soundcloud or just a few minutes like a preview? I want to send my track to a label but the full track is already published on my soundcloud page it’s not private anymore .. is this a problem?

    • @MayenMusic
      @MayenMusic  4 года назад +3

      Montana Beats I think that you should send them a track that is not public. Labels want to feel special. You should send full tracks and allow them to download. If they download it’s a good sign. Don’t be afraid on the stealing it, if it’s that good they will ask for it. Thanks for having a look around my channel.

    Should you assume that the record label will master your song? And therefore send them an unmastered mix of the song??

    • @MayenMusic
      @MayenMusic  4 года назад +1

      Max 3llis I would get it mastered. You want to send the best sounding track for them to listen to it. If they like it and pick it up they might want to get it re mastered if it’s not to par to what they are putting out. First impressions count.

      To be honest. If you send me a
      CD chances are that I don’t have anything in my house to listen to it lol. Not being negative, but it would better to send a card with a code to your music online. It’s hard since people are always on the move and CD players even on laptops don’t exist anymore.

      I just had a listen to your music. I think that in order to send it anywhere you need to build a track longer than 3 mins. They need to see if it works in a set.
