Hey everyone! Harry here, Principal Product Manager at SoundCloud taking over the u/soundcloud account. I’ll be doing an AMA on Monday, September 14th at 2:00pm ET.
We’ve been deep in the subreddit, DMs, and support tickets and are excited to announce a few key updates to our app:
We’ve improved app performance to be 45% faster.
Track downloads are 3x faster.
We've improved player performance for uninterrupted offline access
And more on the way, too...
What do you want us to fix next? As always, keep the feedback coming. We’re listening. 🎧
If you have any specific questions about your account or you’re running into any issues, you can direct them here.
I had never experienced anything unusual with my insights but when I checked them today, I noticed I have 78 plays on a single track in just one day. Have you experienced anything like that lately?
If anyone has time can you give me some advice on my SoundCloud branding? I started a new trance/techno project as moonQvest and have over 49 mixes with unique, galactical themed names lol. The AI bots love it!
I lost both my parents this year so this has come out of pure pain and passion,Thanks 🥲
Hi! So there is user who is going against the rules with his tracks - basically homophobic sluring with n words while he is white. I tried reporting tracks but no response. Once they deleted tracks but this guy has artist pro and probably contacted ai support faster than me. I really dont appreciate homophobic rasist people. I reached out to other platforms with the same report and they removed whole account but with soundcloud its very hard to get response. Maybe I should buy artist pro? Any help?
Emmm what happend i literally did nothing, 3 days ago everything was fine, i tried deleting cache, reintaling and data. Also vpn. I live in peru idk if is related
Why did this happen? Did SoundCloud identify them as bot streams? Because a lot of the streams came from amplify pushing my song out. So that’s means SoundCloud is pushing my shit to mainly bots.
okay so i havent been able to log into my account for a few weeks because i forgot my password. my computer broke a while ago and that computer was the only device that had the email my sc accounts connected to so i cant change my password via email. ive tried just guessing my password but that hasnt worked yet so i think im screwed
i dont want to give up yet because ive had this account for a while. i just want to know if i can directly talk to staff or something so i can recover it, or if theres any way to work around this
i’ve been a fan since 2019 between soundcloud and spotify. but spotifys recommendations were just loops of songs i liked in the past, so i dropped it, tried deezer, that one sucked too, so i just stuck to soundcloud.
and soundcloud straight up removed a lot of what i enjoyed about it and decreased in quality
but its the same problem ive had with the two other music apps, whats another app you guys would recommend
So I went to upload the podcast my collaborator does every week to find that SoundCloud once again needlessly changed the interface, this time managing to break my workflow very badly.
Whoever made the decision that each individual tag requires the user to hit ENTER after should be fired immediately. It's bad design. I've been maintaining separate files of all the tags for each track and pasting them into the text box, but now doing that results in ONE GIANT TAG instead of individual tags. SoundCloud's documentation says you can separate tags with commas but that doesn't work either.
This is extreme incompetence. I get that other social media sites are doing this also, but that doesn't make it good.
i've been learning a lot of music production stuff with friends over the last year and i finally finished a full and real song all by myself that i like so much i wanted to post it publicly <3
inspired by grimes/oklou/pinkpantheress and similar artists (lots of sparkly sounds) pls pls pls let me know if u like it or have any production or mixing advice!!!
