Thanks for sharing this informative post.
Nice article.
May I ask a couple of questions?
Is that really true? I do not think so. A lot of authors here used to make similar tunes compared with popular/top sellers. And they are doing fine.
How is that? If you want to create quality track this basicly means you should work with a few things, including - general idea, commercial value, structure, post production, mixing, mastering and finally marketing - youtube, facebook, etc, etc. This is for sure takes a lot of time, energy and hope of course, because I DO NOT want to waste all the above for nothing.
Thanks!
Hey TitanSlayer,
Good questions.
-
Remember we’re here to sell music - and in order to maximise our item’s selling potential, finding what’s in demand is important. Checking out the current top weekly-selling tracks is the best way to find out, and like it or not, the “4/4 I-V-vi-IV progression with delayed guitar harmonics” style is still very popular. The trick is to bring something new to the table. If a track is a rip-off and sounds exactly like another top seller - why would anyone buy it when they can get the original (with hundreds of sales, ratings etc)? Even in the stock music scene, there is a clear distinction between plagiarism and if a track is too similar to another, it usually gets reported and taken down.

Perhaps I didn’t word it very well. What I meant was - if you should be focusing on one thing, it’s quality (in my opinion). I also said that you shouldn’t invest all your hope into one track, because let’s face it - you can never really tell exactly what’s going to sell and what isn’t, so it’s not worth investing yourself emotionally like that. Hope that makes sense!
Thanks for your time!
Thanx for the article, it was really useful for me!
