Just a question...

[Digital Shifter]

Hi all.

I always wondered how to get on a label or how it goes.
Not that my music is good enough for a label.

But if you send a track? Would they even have time for that?
Or if they hear you're track. Would they email you or contact you?
And how does it feel like? To be on a label?

I'm just wondering, you know, dream's are 50% of hope. Right?
And time will tell for the one who want's on a label

Most labels have a contact email where you can send them in demos of your tracks, they typically want your tracks in high quality, preferably 320 kpbs. Then if they accept you, they would sign you in i assume.

Also from what I have heard its nice to send them multiple tracks.

Yeah that's what i know that you can send track's my friend..
But,

How good do you have to be?
I know that its all about these things:

1. Good kick.
2. Good Sounds.
3. Good Set-up/Build up in you're tracks.

The most important is your kick.
But i have trained so long on kicks and got the sound right, i know what to do.
Sounds are for me peace of cake. And so on.
But one thing is sure.
I am a little bit scared that it's not good enough. (Can't find the word for it..)

So what to do next?

Most labels have a demo email address for you to send tracks to. Never send unfinished tracks to the labels though. Only send them the tracks when you are 100% happy with the outcome. Also don't send a label a demo of a track in a style that they don't release.

Labels sometimes will contact you directly & ask for 2 or 3 tracks from you. Once you send them the tracks they decide whether to release them or not

Edit:
When using the demo email adress I wouldn't expect a response from most labels.

There are labels that specialize more into upcoming artists and there are major labels (that you probably know) that are looking for good overall producers.

Depends on what you want to do next and your ability. I mean if you feel like your next step is to get on major label send them a couple of tracks. Doesn't hurt to try you know. If they say not good enough try to land on a smaller label until you improve.

Maybe you can share your tracks, I guess it can kind of help us to see how far along you are in your producing.

I'm now very busy with the tracks, just taking my time to let them be at it's best.
When im done with something you can hear it!

Just taking my time and then i post it somewhere to get opinions and stuff..

Just curious, how can a label help you grow? I already know they release your tracks and book you gigs. How else can labels help you improve and grow? By talking with fellow producers of the same label?

How do you mean this? The only fact is if there is a possible way to make from your hobby your work

I'm probably the last person that should answer this question but other artists can help you, you can get more exposed to other people take notice in your work. Also I am sure when you are in a label that's gonna be your income so making music kind of takes on a different meaning perhaps.
