Soundcloud subscription
« on: May 22, 2016, 07:34:56 am »
So I cancelled my SC pro subscription by accident.  I used to pay 9€ a month, but now I am being offered the pro for 7$(6.3€) a month..  With SC´s non-existing customer service and this put together, I am not going to spend more of my money there.  Artists are all over Twitter daily about how their songs are removed without notice, and I feel that the site is currently losing out.  What do you guys think?

ahh soundcloud, i had a pro account for 4 years, uploading DJ mixes for fun and yeah my account got taken down lol, i remember when i uploaded an original track i made and it got taken down too lol, i still make mixes but its only the more mainstream top 40 tracks that get taken down with people making bootlegs with small edits out of them

recently soundcloud signed licencsing deals with major labels

i think still keep an account for soundcloud, when sending your demos out to labels, etc
cause soundcloud is the only platform right now that they look at

if you're making original music, i don't see why would get your music taken down?

unless you have some unauthorized samples....

Taking any song down that has a similar name to a different song is ridiculous. If no two songs could have the same names on SC, songs would be taken down left and right, even if the songs were in no other way alike. If this is SC's policy, they need to amend it. I'm stating the obvious here, but still
