Can someone list all the places I can (try) and release my track for free? What are all these things called BMI and other stuff I should learn about? Basically what does a bedroom producer do to try and release his tracks and start at a grass roots level? Please no negativity I never claimed to be a know it all or expert producer. Thanks for your time in advance.

 

0 Budget ?
Put it on Soundcloud what else !

 

great title

 

write to some youtube channel owners.
i will try this in the next days for a tropical house track.

 

Have you any idea of how funny that is?

 

You know I wouldn't be so stupid if people just answered the dam questions.. Now since no one answers these idiotic questions i'll have to ask again and be called an idiot twice, maybe 3-4 times.. If someone just answered my stupid question I would not ask again.

 

No serious label will release you unless you have at least an EP material (3 good tracks + 1 headliner track). They need a warranty that you are not a "one hit wonder" and you can provide fresh tracks on a regular basis.

So what's what after the first track? Make more tracks, pack an EP then try to pitch it to a label.

 

As always, there is no easy way, but as long as we commited to do the necessary effort there are always way(s).
I think this book can be a good guide to answer your question:
"The Indie Band Survival Guide" by Randy Chetkow & Jason Feehan

 

Thank you sir! Ok 1 good track and 3 decent ones... So I should try to go through a label instead of release myself?

 

Cant be a problem for Mr. Faoki.. as far as i can remember he already had like a greates hits done...

 

Why should you try to rely on someone else when you can do it all by yourself?

 

"I have 1.3 million soundcloud plays and 120k followers on social media so I can also promote you as an artist to my fan base"

 

If you have big boobs or a cute ass, may I suggest you play it the Lana-Del-Rey-(and others who don't say it)-way.
It's free and you get top-level quick attention.

Dope!!!

 

Well firstly theres bandcamp, only really works if you have some sort of following tho. I would recommend researching labels and and if you think its good enough send it too a few small labels to begin with, not every label is after a full ep too begin with, alot will do label samplers so one track is enough for them

 

Can you point me to the track ?
Thanx.
Luiz.

 

This guys was banned. No words
But there is a lot of good suggestions made by other members that might be useful for someone having the same question in mind.
I suggest keeping it alive if you know places and ways for indie releases
