Posted 1 month agoView comments

Life After Us is a super friendly pop/rock band from Pittsburgh. I produced The Rest is Silence EP. It contains 3 songs which showcase their capabilities and versatility as a band.

For the EP, I coached them during the songwriting process and even helped with the recording session at Treelady Studio.

Why Music Producers Must Use SoundCloud

Posted 2 months ago7 notesView comments

You probably already know that I’m a huge fan of SoundCloud, as it’s super-useful and relevant for music-makers and producers.

I use it to …

1. Find Awesome Music by Indie Producers

Music-makers tag their tracks with moods and genres - all of which are searchable. SoundCloud also features the ability to repost sounds; so, my favorite producers are sharing songs by their favorite producers. It’s really great!

2. Get Advice & Encouragement from its Friendly Music Community

SoundClouders add much value with encouraging comments and constructive criticism.

Encouraging SoundCloud Comment

When a fellow producer likes one my tracks, I’ll check out their music and leave some feedback. And if their music is good, I’ll follow them back! It’s a great way to network and make friends …

3. Network with Friends, Music-Makers, & Producers

By following artists whose music I enjoy, I’ve made some great relationships. For example, I started following Vanilla, and we eventually became Facebook friends and released an EP together. Also, my funk band released a remix album featuring a bunch of artists I met through SoundCloud, including Big Groove, Nebulist, and Funkload.

4. Embed the Incredible HTML5 Audio Player

Sounds play beautifully on iPhone and Android and can be embedded on websites, blogs, and social media platforms.

Visitors to my website are greeted with my “best of Steve Chab” playlist …

For what more could I ask? Soundcloud rocks.

How are you using SoundCloud?

Jacob Meador in the recording studio

I discovered Jacob Meador’s solo album by browsing music tagged with “Jeremy Enigk” on NoiseTrade. It was awesome, so I immediately downloaded it and liked his Facebook page. He also checked out my music and sent me a very friendly message about how he’s a mastering engineer and would love to master my projects.

Jacob is a great engineer! He mastered my first solo album, and I highly recommend his services. He’s affordable, responsible, and an all-around honest fellow!
