let’s collect all new releases of today here and support each other ✨🦦

I’m a big fan of a lot of Adam Dodson’s music, and I really learned a lot from the breakdown he did of his Gift to your future self song. So many small details, that are barely noticed when first listening, but really makes a difference to the production. I copied a lot of the tricks to some of my tracks afterwards and they really help make the sound bigger. Like adding a version of the main theme played an octave up or down panned left and right to a verse for instance. Check it here. You’ll definitely learn some good stuff. https://youtu.be/cjBE_NEjO2s?si=yXE2fLbMKRGxonIs

Hi guitarwavers, I just came across a neat little trick on Reddit for Spotify for Artists. Normally, when you see the dreaded “We’re still gathering your data” message, you can’t access the most recent days. Turns out—you actually can. I didn’t believe it at first, but after trying it out—it really works. Here’s a quick step-by-step: - Open Spotify for Artists in your web browser - Go to the Audience tab - Select any custom date range - Once the data loads, go up to your browser’s address bar and manually change the start and end dates—include the most recent days that normally aren’t available - Magic: those last days appear (see screenshot) - Bonus: after that, you can also click through different metrics (listeners, streams, etc.) without having to edit the URL again Not sure if this always works when Spotify is still processing or cleaning data, but right now it does. Could be especially handy for anyone here who released on Friday and is impatiently waiting to see their first streams come in (@Simon Burkhardt, @Sebastian Henkelmann, @Sebastian Jautschus).

this is the focus topic of September. let's collect all our activities and learnings under this post. at the end of the month, I'll summarize it all and conclude the status quo below. this way each month we add to our topic/shared knowledge library 📚 also we'll do a dedicated focus topic call at the end of each month going through all the learnings 🦦
