This might be confusing to say, but it’s true. Be patient and keep making a large volume of music.Get feedback from listeners, tastemakers and other artists.Make sure your core musical ideas are solid – production, mixing and mastering won’t matter otherwise.So how do I make my music ‘better’? That’s another topic entirely, and that’s also why we have courses like EDM Foundations and Songwriting for Producers. So while promoting music online is important, getting feedback and taking that into the studio will prove to be a much more valuable use of time. Plus, you’re likely to get valuable feedback from the public if you ask for it, allowing you to gauge what will and won’t work. One of my newer drum & bass tracks, a bootleg of Porter Robinson’s Get Your Wish, got a lot of plays and was shared a lot more, because this track is much higher quality than my old stuff.īut this begs the question – should I upload my music if it’s not 100% there yet? This is arguable, but on a platform like SoundCloud, the stakes are much lower, with removing tracks being just a click away.
