2-4 per week in average. But from time to time I stop composing and mixing and try to get some inspiration
1-2 per month, It is obtained from 30 to 50 sales per month.
I upload 3 tracks a day and usually have 2 of them rejected. I guess I’m quantity over quality at the moment and maybe I’ll change my strategy in time. I try to vary the types of tracks I do to stay interested and also not spend more than 1 hour on any track made for royalty free libraries.
That’s interesting. That’s a lot of tracks! I’d be interested to see what your results would be in 2 years from now. Is quantity vs quality really the thing to do? I don’t know.
It’s an interesting subject. While right now I’m putting out tracks at a rapid rate, I do this mainly by sticking to writing tracks that stick a single mood and are more-or-less formulaic, which I think is suitable for commercial music. However, I can see where my tracks are lacking, and that is with mastering, and as I improve I’m sure this will also take more and more time. I hope that eventually I will be making less tracks but continue to always increase in quality. I guess this is the heart of the matter - if you are writing so fast that quality suffers, then this is too fast for you.
Thanks for the precious info!
All are from audio jungle, what about themeforest themes?
it’s really depends of style. You can easilly make guitar+piano+bass+whatever less in 3 hours with mastering.
But you can’t achieve it with 110+ plus pieces orchestra. It takes a week, if you do it right. It’s kinda sucks, because price is the same.
Always thought quality is more important then the quantity. Wouldn’t it be better to have 30 amazing tracks then 300 fast maded? I mean it’s like with growing up a brand if you need that of course.
If someone will notice that all your pieces sounds terrific, wouldn’t they always will check for news from you. Besides that, one day for producing, recording, mixing and mastering - wow, you probably married with muse:) Anyway it’s interesting to know how you work guys.
1-2 per month. It’s sometimes a little hard to merge my full time job and graphicriver projects. But workin’ on it!
doesn’t work that way, to be honest. Buyer interested in ONE particular track for project most of the times, so he searched, find it, and if you lucky - it’ll be your track. It’s more depends of first page exposure. Quantity raise probability of finding your track.
I think you’re right @StellarRecords in general. But as @MarkMarker points out, then you can make a perfectly mastered and wonderful track with your full effort and there’s a good chance within this ocean it will just sink. My attitude is, make things quickly and efficiently but don’t release anything that you aren’t proud of. If you are happy with it, then that’s the bottom line. So for now I’ll save my energy for the really detailed work for custom music since with royalty free it’s too much of a gamble. Saying this, I’m thinking about decreasing my 3-tracks-a-day quota and bringing it down to 2 or 1 and seeing how this effects sales.
+1 for focusing on quality. Taking up search space is not everything, the precious buyers who later post that 1M+ views video on youtube that give you 100+ more sales on that one track will probably not just go with the first track they hear anyway. Also, in my own experience I’ve found that when it comes to external marketing it’s really not that fun to create videos, soundcloud uploads, web pages etc with those “mass made tracks” I end up being a bit ashamed of myself that I published in the first place. Much more joy lies in being confident that your last track is your best yet and that it deserves the attention you need to give it post upload. The competition will not go away, and there’s MUCH more competition in the “mass made” category. By first glance, rocking out corporate copy-paste tracks may seem like the “easy road”, but that road is now crowded to a standstill.
If we want to look into the crystal ball, take a look at more mature markets, like the pop music market for example. Record labels used to be able to sell just about anything with a bit of marketing, now the number of signed acts are dropped to a minimum while almost everybody is a bedroom DJ or a home-made indie star. Those lucky few who get into the spotlight are those who have that “special something”, on top of a solid foundation of hard-earned followers.
Very well said, exactly our point of view.
I usualy upload 1-3 items a week…Not more then 3 …Sometimes i miss the whole week or two without uploads…Depends of how much time i have…Thats all relative…
hi, i don’t belong to audio jungle but according to what i know this is better to upload as often as possible, also depending on what u do , if u run here full time, this is better to upload something everyday or every other day , if u are just having complementary activity here and run part time, then u should upload as often as u can according to your free time so to speak
