Thanks for teaching newer artists the tricks of the trade. IT'S REALLY APPRECIATED! Can you do a video on just panning all the instruments and sounds, without any other mixing? That would be really interesting and helpful.
@@ZigZagProductionStudio panning and stereo width, absolutely! As if all the mixing were done except for the panning, from hi hats and up. The stereo width by itself could make a mix sound muddy if two sounds are close. how would you use stereo width to separate two instruments/vocals/pads/guitar piamo, etc. Thank you. Reverb might be too much. How would you pan hi hats and bongos? Etc. Thanks and take care!
See, all of this i get. But how do i claim the Spotify artist page for my second artist name? I can't find info on it. Cause i don't wanna create a team or label. But there's no option for multiple artists.
@@anthonysanjuan6363 yeah bro it’s all bad. They can’t do it, you’d have to create a whole new account. For now I’ve just made a new distrokid under the same name and it’s all grouped under the same account
Thanks Distrokid for making it confusing. Also did anyone notice once you upgrade your account, you can no longer downgrade ever again. You have to delete your entire account, all your music, and start all over in order to downgrade. They tell you that straight up 🤣🤣🤣
Ok so pretty much anytime me and my label making a collab realease using "&" it is making a new profile in the name of the collab. For example if the song called "ARTIST1 & ARTIST2 & ARTIST3 - SONGNAME" Distrokid makes a new profile named "ARTIST1 & ARTIST2 & ARTIST3" instead of placing the song under each artists profile page. This happend to last 3 releases we made. You can t use always fixer and wait weeks to fix the issue cause you re always out of release date. Any suggessions?
Ok but question 1st that’s not a tutorial of having a multiple names 2nd what you need in order to get it and how you did it 3rd if you create the second name that will appear in Spotify automatically? 4rd can you explain step by step how to proceed I have an upcoming track in 2 weeks and almost 3 week I have already that I created that new name but the Spotify account is not even created yet Can you help me please (?)
Hi ! If I upgrade to the Musician Plus plan to add another band/artist, will I be able to have 2 separate email addresses to manage both ? Having the same address for two completely different projects sounds like a nightmare. (I couldn't find anything on their FAQ, and it's impossible to reach them with a request since they now use a Bot supposed to give answers haha) Thank you for your video and your time 🙏
Hey bro you said everything but how did you add other artists, I Dont have the add artist name option on mine, my account is for 2 artists as well I appreciate your help 🙏🏽
If me and my friend are dropping a song together but we are separate artist and this will be the first time we drop music would we need 2 separate distrokid accounts or just one ? So in the artist name we put each other with the & symbol ??
right now my account is connected with another account. question, how would I take my account off & have my own account without losing my music? I have distrokid.
I upload the song but I have a problem, if I put one artist, distrokid give me the spotify artist link and the itunes artist link for verified that's correct, but if I put the name with another artist, for example "John & Lucas", distrokid don't give me nothing...how to add two spotify artist link if I put two names? (It's a collaboration between me and another artist and we have two separates spotify artist link)
That's awesome bro thanks so which plan is good for multiple artists and is distrokid create their RUclips Channels? Your response will be highly appreciated...
What should you do if you are releasing an album with multiple collaborators on different tracks? It doesn't let you assign different "artist" name at the track level
if you need to pay these collaborators royalties, you can set it up in the “Splits” section. it works great, but it’s unfortunately only for distrokid members. so your collaborators would have to create and pay for an account
What is the solution if distrokid ban you with out any reason . I bought subscription and they reject my first release and banned me. Can you tell me the solution plz
ive watched 10x n still cant get the artist in first place so i have 5 artist plan and i wana add one artist to song does he need to sign up first because hes my artist????
Nice video man, very informative! It would be cool if you could do a video on the streaming services that pay artists the quickest vs slowest on Distrokid. I have just received a Tidal payment from April 2020! A 9 month lag...
DOES ANYONE know how to disconnect an artist from a distrokid account that has multiple artists, without losing the music catalogue? I’m trying to separate my artists profile on a new distrokid account, but don’t want to lose my music.
@ZigZag Production Studio, any idea how to have a Spotify for the artist, in every artist. I mean, I have 5 artists, I am the main one, easy for me to create my SPOTIFY for artists. How about the other? and how to link to their email. Thank you
Hi, if I want to have 3 artists and be able to publish them independently on each digital platform, each with their own account, do I have to choose the piano label or is the musician plus piano enough for me? Sorry for my English thanks!
Let’s say me and my friend makes songs together but we don’t have a group name or nothing but we plan to drop a separate single ( my single his single) and we also plan to drop a ft what plan you recommend
My question too. My friend has been rapping on distrokid and we’re trying to add me on and split the price. But I wanna manage my own music and get my royalties individually.
thank you I have a question please so distrokid sent me an email saying that my music was rejecting from stores and they will not accepte any new relases anymore , so do i still get paid for my old relases or they locked down everyhing for me?
The only issue is if I have another artist under my account, what if something in long run he decides to delete my songs, is there any kind of protection or something?
If more than two artists sing in a song, as I should call it, Me, Artist 1, Artist 2 & Artist 3 or Me & Artist 1 & Artist 2 & Artist 3. (I want the artists to come out as a final release) I hope you help me, great video, I look forward to your reply
If one artist is under a LLC with multiple members and another is under sole proprietorship How do you set up tax information per artist? On my distro kid it only gives me the option of selecting one option not both LLC and sole proprietor.
Question please- so i have a distrokid account (upgrade$36) i uploaded another artist's music says it will be put into apple /spotify ect ect but how do i "claim" that persons Spotify and other streaming services. I know how to for myself but can i do it under the other name. Any info would be appreciated.
I need help with an album release. So it’s a corelease but some of the songs are only one artist or the other, is there a way to title the song on the album with a single artist rather than both of our names being on a song that’s only done by one of us?
I upload an album "A" to my existing Artest acoount, after that I upgraded my plan to (Musician plus), can I upload or transfer, my previously uploaded Album "A" to the new one ?? thx
If I want to co-release with many artists I will have to pay for each artist under my Distrokid? I saw someone mention that they could release the same track with the same ISRC and it would work the same without me having to pay to add an artist?
Could you please tell that for a musician account is it two artists per release or is it just two artists forever? I mean for example I release a song with artist The Svara & J bro so can I make next release for instance with any other artist like The Svara & crifts. Please let me know if you have any info regarding this. Thanks for this video 🙂
Thanks for replying. So we can have one primary artist and the other artist can change for different songs or if we use two slots for two artists we have to just stick with those two artists and we cannot change that second artist for different release. Could you please let me know 🙂
Do you know if I was to downgrade by canceling my current label account and subscribing again to distrokid but this time to the musician plus account, will I have to pay for all the uploads again? I have 7 releases of my own and 26 from other artist. That will be a fortune for me to pay at once!
I originally subscribed to the label plan then a year later by mistake, when trying to renew my subscription (I didn’t know it had already renewed automatically) they accepted my second payment as an upgrade payment and put me on the label plus account! So currently I’m paying a fortune yearly and every time a released is renew with the extras. I’m desperate and don’t know what to do!!! So frustrating!
@@Jaysonlywish i did. I don't 100% remember what i did haha but pretty sure you click on your profile on Spotify artists, and request access to team, and then you type in the artist. Something like that. It's considered a team, and you're a member of the team for the artist
Hi, My last upload was a collaboration upload with another artist. Now I want to upload a new song and for some reason the "artist name" still remains my name and the other artist name that I collaborated with on my last upload/release
I'll do a video about that - Spotify and other stores count a collab as an artist (in a sense). If anything, you're better releasing a track with a feature in the title to save that artist spot
Can you explain to me why Distrokid takes a 30% cut from artists not resident in North America? It is apparently for tax but then the artist has to pay tax in their own country for the remaining 70%.
