Message Boards

The message boards have been replaced by Our Discord as it has a lot more features that allow us to communicate with each other in a better way.

You may still post on here and you will get some replies but we would really recommend you join us on Discord as it is a very vibrant community of independent musicians.


Please log in to post.

A place to hang out and discuss anything you like. See the drop down above for specific message boards.

There is now a separate message board for "useful resources" - https://atomcollectorrecords.com/beta/messageboards.asp?messageboardid=0

Feel free to add any useful websites but please make sure they are of high quality.

Any posts that get a lot of negative comments will be deleted.

So you can now add up to 50 YouTube videos to the site.

YouTube is the largest music streaming service in the world (see https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2016/12/15/youtube-biggest-music-service/) so it makes sense to get your music on there but it can be time consuming creating a video, even if you are just using a static image.

Well thanks to a bit of searching by our good friend GrandSpaceAdventure there is a simple solution: https://hypeddit.com/soundcloud-to-youtube

So now you have no excuse! Get all your SoundCloud music converted and uploaded to YouTube then add them on here - GO!

Could the delete button be put on a page where you can actually see the name of the track? I am having to see-saw between "My Details" and "Track Comments" to ensure I delete the correct track. Or is there already a way and I am making life difficult for myself?

I need to do a lot of tidying up and making things a bit easier. This is one things that will be improved.

"If" SC does go under [pure speculation here] what will happen with AC?

Thanks MrKi101. As you say a lot of that is out of my control unfortunately.

late addition:
Often I listen to tracks long after I`ve gone and voted for them (often it`s an involuntary hand thing l,l,l) So I would like to have my vote reflect that I`ve gone and done that extra listen. But I`m unable to change or alter my vote in anyway-nor once I`ve voted can I enter another vote. In SC I could un-click my vote and place it further on down the line

First off I surely hope you`re around for that long-long live ACR
*
I would still love it to be able post right here and not depend on another site but you`ve already expressed how difficult that might be.
Much of those "necessary things" are kind of out of your hands. Things this like people giving real reviews and actual critiques of what they hear and think might make the piece better.
And the ability NOT to have people float junk that really doesn`t matter to anyone and really has nothing at all to do with your song (or really anything else on earth or on this site!) Again this is something that`s not necessarily anything you can do much about.
The suggestions I`ve submitted before pretty much fit into this question so I won`t bore you with repeating them.

MrKil101 - thank you for your views on BandCamp, etc.

I will of course do everything in my power (finances not withstanding) to make this site as friendly and welcoming to musicians as I possibly can with all the features that people require.

I would love your input on what you think would make ACR as good as SoundCloud (or better?). If we used YouTube as the vehicle to get the music heard (being as it is probably the most likely service to still be around in 10 years). What features would I need to add? What don`t you like about it in its current form?

Be as honest as you like as I really do want this to be the ultimate destination for the "kind musician" :-)

Yes, those two sites have completely different priorities than SC

Flicker (https://soundcloud.com/wud-records) posted these, seems to be a few that might work, but it will take time to both acclimate to the style and rebuild followers.

Ok I can see I didn`t look down deep enough to see that thread. Anyway I, tentatively, joined both BandCamp and MixCloud (again) and found them, so far, to be just about what I`d predicted in my rant of a few weeks ago. Basically I still feel they`re not for me. The restrictions they put on the users are pretty tight and neither of them seem to allow love for the music which is, I think at the heart of this whole deal, to shine through-at least not for moi. Yes, I understand that this IS a business but it`s a business based on a very feely/touchy thing called the arts and the "suits" need to allow for that. So the alternatives everyone is talking about down there of YouTube and maybe some of the others mentioned might have to be it if I find they can be trusted enough. I`m still thinking all these sites are missing the heart and community feel of the original Soundcloud and I will continue to look for that although I keep having doubts that I will ever find it again. (deep sigh!)

Hi, I`m new on this site as of last week, and I`m wondering about a couple of issues I`m having with the Spotify play on the "Listen" page. When I click play, instead of going to a Playlist on Spotify, it goes to the album of the artist track presented. On "repeat" and "random play". the album gets played in it`s entirety, and does not randomly pick out a new song and artist from the playlist. How can I change this so I can play everybody`s music evenly and fairly?

The Spotify player may be using your settings from the app. Don`t know if there is a setting for playing an album when a track is selected. Might be worth a quick Google if you can`t find anything.
