@Advice: i’ll follow your advice,split the eggs in different baskets.
As you said,we’re competing against ourselves and a google search
could confuse the potential buyer (same track,different price).You’ve made
some really valid points here.
@Jay: there’s no reason to quit RF sites altogether,you could just do what
MichaelL and others said,write different tracks for different markets.
@ChuckMott: thanks for your words man,you’re very kind.Your stuff,from
blues to surf and arena-rock to electronic is great,i wish i could rock the guitar that well!Btw,check your Soundcloud inbox,i’ll pm you sortly.
I don’t consider RF sites bad or anything,i’ll just think twice which tracks to upload there from now on.Art mentioned he’s approaching $1K/month from RF sales,that’s a great source of income that certainly shouldn’t be overlooked.
Also,i think writing for different markets (RF/High end/TV etc) could
benefit my songwriting/production,make it more focused.It sounds ideal
for me,since i’m not that disciplined and can be lazy from time to time.
Knowing in which market your track will end up saves you some time i guess!
Using pseudonyms and different titles isn’t that appealing to me.I don’t
know,it sounds confusing using various names.I already have a different
moniker for the remixes i do for other artists,a 3rd one would be too much for me!It seems to work for other guys though.
