LANDR Distribution: Is it worth it? (Platform Walkthrough) 

Noted! Thanks for the request!

@@IndieMusicAcademy yes please

Will do! I'll work on that.

Thanks for sharing your Landr experience!

I being with Distrokid for the last 4 years. You be fine until you need support. A support ticket can take 5-7 days to respond. If by any change you get flag from Spotify you are on your own. They will remove the flag content and there be nothing you can do about it.

@@jorgaridya7085 Another reason I am looking elsewhere.

tell me please did you have any problems with distrokid regarding licensing and distributing your tracks??? landr is blocking my uploads.. Thanks

@@jorgaridya7085 Hello, what are you using currently??

Distrokid is the only distributor I've had a problem with so far. I've tried many and only had my tracks taken down on Distrokid. This is, of course, my own personal experience.

Sure thing! With the Landr sample library, you don't have to clear any of the samples. Your subscription to Landr is your license to use these samples in your tracks. For outside samples, you'll need to clear the sample directly with the controlling publisher before you distribute. This is the way for every distributor to my knowledge.

They are usually not interchangeable and not the same thing.

Yeah CD Baby is missing that feature, I wish they had it too.

@@IndieMusicAcademy Amen to that. It'll literally be the icing on the cake 🎂 🤌🏻.

Same

@@mutmasterj 👍🏻

I demanded for it, two days ago. Will let you know if that works.

I'm pretty sure that RU-vid is releasing a feature where you can link your distributed music to your RU-vid channel. I'll have to check in on that more, but I think this is a youtube feature and not a distributor feature.

You can look up how to do this on RU-vid. I’ve done it a couple of times.

The time has come!

Which distributors allow that? I'm pretty sure an ISRC is applied to a unique audio recording. Technically that would just be re-distribution if you got new audio and a new ISRC? Genuinely curious as to which distributor has this feature.

Legend!

it is indeed, landr is anything else than legit... are you using some distributor which really works as they promiss in their membership.contract?

All I did was walk through their website and read the features 😂

@@instantdislikechannel5699Have you used Landr? What issues did you have? Looking to switch from DistroKid

Oh wow, that's an incredible story. I'm sorry that happened. It definitely seems like you hit the limit for some kind of internal spam flag that they have. Were you able to continue uploading your music at a slower pace?

@@IndieMusicAcademy In any case, I was patient during the days of uploading because I knew that I would be uploading a lot, and so after about 2 weeks the customer service contacted me and briefly explained to me the "oversaturated market" and that certain songs would not be accepted, but that Landr had no problem with my tracks. I wasn't offered a license without distribution, the RU-vid content ID would have been great, but apparently they don't want to offer anything at all... Well, the fact that the person from customer service wrote that all synthwave songs sound similar shows me that there is someone in customer service who has no idea about this style of music, for others, for example, Mozart sounds just as good as Brahms, and yet they are different compositions... In short, I am accused of having uploaded songs in a short space of time that were produced with samples... The email discussion is still ongoing and I am waiting for the next replies, because I have confronted these facts with their service-team. And yes, I can still upload how much and whatever I want...but I will wait for a solution, because this is completely inappropriate to me, since so many "artists" are coming up with their licensed tracks on every corner, and landr is making it hard for newbies to enter any market, this behaviour is surely not the goal of a music-distributor, which on the first sight does not limit anything! P.S. if you know a distributor specifically for EDM, please let us know, because Landr was obviously a big flop for me. Thank you

@@IndieMusicAcademy Hello & short update... Everything is fine, the Landr-Team gave green light after I send them photos of my musicgear (software & hardware)... I am happy that we found a solution 👍

@@instantdislikechannel5699 what you said is same thing that happens with major distributors like TuneCore and Distrokid but instead they just give you Bot message, block you and say no refunds, nothing u can do about it but get scammed.

@@instantdislikechannel5699 what they said about samples does not even make sense, Landr them selves provide SAMPLES, these companies are just being annoying now because spotify has been sueing distributors because some of their users are using bot streams or stolen content

What do you mean?

It’s the complete opposite, music has been getting less enslaved as time went went on. Now we’re at a point where indie artists can make a living without going industry
