How to get the most out of reddit as a musician.

420kbps · 2014-03-28T18:46:30+00:00

Under 10% of your submitted links must be your own work

simpsonsfanhere · 2014-03-28T14:56:01+00:00

Thanks to Raerth for taking time to create this wonderful post!

Edit: I wish every mod would be like this. :)

Astrixtc · 2014-03-28T15:50:04+00:00

This is a great list of where, but you totally skimmed the "How" portion.

Just like any other post, you need to start a conversation. Don't just post "Here's my track check it out." most people won't care. Sure you might luck out and rise to the top of /r/music, but that's pretty much like winning the lottery. There's a lot of luck involved and the popularity usually doesn't last.

If you're thinking long term, find the right niche subreddits and relate it to where you're posting it. You'll have a lot better luck, and be able to keep the conversation going instead of a one and done /r/music post. This is how you build a following instead of being a one hit wonder that was once on the front page. I've had a lot of luck doing things like:

Ask for help with a mix in /r/WeAreTheMusicMakers.
Find a related genre and ask if fans would also be interested in your music.
Do what I just did in the bullet point above. Find appropriate places to link to your stuff in a conversation. Don't force it, but if your music or other ideas fit into the conversation, don't be shy.
Most importantly follow the 10% rule. No one wants to hear about you all the time. Talk about other stuff besides your music.
Don't rely on reddit to be your promotional platform. It's a discussion platform. It works really well to get a gauge interest, but when it's time to promote, go promote. Pay for adds and posters, get real press, and do the things you need to do. Here's what I'd recommend: Post about something first in the right subreddit. If it takes off, go spend the time and money to actually promote. If no one cares, save your time and money for something else.

There's more to it, but that should give you a good start.

pm-me-a-story · 2014-03-28T14:38:32+00:00

/r/makinghiphop should have a mention as well

dylan · 2014-03-28T16:01:07+00:00

Also, don't forget to consider using reddit advertising! Sponsored headlines start at only $5 and can be placed within all of the above subreddits. It's a great way to support the site, charities, and help keep these communities running for years to come. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

LordFisch · 2014-03-28T14:13:20+00:00

Thanks for the info, but I do have one little question. You said that saturdays are original, underground and new music only, but because reddit is a global community, which timezone is considered for this?

2014-03-28T15:57:51+00:00

Updated/tweaked the multis to reflect all of the ones in this post. I already had most of them but there were a couple of new ones. Nice set!

There are three other multis people should really know about.

Agora Musica: This is a collection of all music discussion subreddits, oriented towards music listeners. Go here to talk about music.
Music Makers: The same idea, but this time oriented towards people who play, produce, record, or teach music. Go here to learn how to play or produce music.
Redditunes: All of the subreddits where self-promotion of your own musical recordings are encouraged. These are the places to submit music and get/give feedback on other redditor's music.

Edit: Sonofabitch! There are so many that I actually hit the hard limit of 100 subreddits for the musicmakers multi. This won't do. I've split off a bunch of them to make room, so introducing...

Instruments: All music subreddits dedicated to learning how to play specific musical instruments.

I'll get that added to the listentothis sidebar after I finish collating all of these subs.

Raijine · 2014-03-28T19:04:57+00:00

Wait, why is this deleted?

2014-03-28T14:32:21+00:00

Very detailed post, thank you /u/raerth!

Raerth · 2014-03-28T15:00:38+00:00

This is some sidebar shit.

polyponic · 2014-03-28T15:13:40+00:00

Amazing /u/Raerth! I've x-posted this to r/edmproduction, I think everyone should also to their respective communities and I look forward to all the music subreddits working more closely together in the future.

Heh. Most redditors have 0 submitted links. This is a stupid rule.

It should be "100% of submitted links must not be your own work. Don't be a tool."

RudeTurnip · 2014-03-28T15:44:07+00:00

Today's Wednesday. We wear pink on Wednesday. You can't post with us. Today's Saturday. We only post originals. You can't post with us. You already reached your personally made music limit this week. You can't post with us.

There's a reason this subreddit is literally the worst.

phoephus2 · 2014-03-28T13:58:45+00:00

Awesome post Raerth! Thanks!

empw · 2014-03-28T16:01:12+00:00

Raerth, you're a boss.

One addition: /r/userproduced. I created it as a place for people to shamelessly promote themselves without backlash from users of a sub or mods.

Edit: Here's what's in the sidebar over there:

Related Subs - Sharing

/r/mymusic

/r/themonsterkittens

/r/WhiteLabels

Related Subs - Production

/r/futurebeatproducers

/r/edmproduction

/r/dnbproduction

/r/RealDubstepProducers

/r/trapproduction

/r/makinghiphop

/r/WeAreTheMusicMakers

You definitely have some but I don't think you have them all.

art36 · 2014-03-28T14:13:49+00:00

I'm not so sure that banning astroturfing or artificially boosting your popularity is a good move, though. How many small time artists do you think will actually get substantial exposure in this sub through a natural process of upvotes/downvotes? The fact is that people typically only upvote content they're already familiar with and will only check out unfamiliar content if it's been substantiated by receiving lots of upvotes.

How can the community incentivize users to check out new content when people are only upvoting content they already know?

larzinator · 2014-03-28T14:37:55+00:00

Awesome post! You should consider putting up /r/IsolatedVocals under misc subreddits. Its a great subreddit full of isolated vocals of known and lesser known songs, great for remixing and sampling!

Aek0z · 2014-03-28T14:44:30+00:00

Annnnd this thread is saved! Thank you for this greatly informative post!

ProjectOneOfficial · 2014-03-28T15:33:29+00:00

This is cool post, reddit can sometimes be a huge help or dud when it comes to music. I try to come here not only to share my music with everyone but to get feedback on the songs. Everyones feedback really helps because everyone hears a song differently and may be able to point out errors that others gloss over. I'm not saying you have to click EVERY post that promotes music but it really does help the poster if you listen and give advice on 1 or 2 songs.

iSlacker · 2014-03-28T16:08:30+00:00

Is there a good place to post lyrics for critiques?

2014-03-28T18:50:35+00:00

Not every user submits links on a regular basis and to limit people to 10% of their content as their own will just lead to there spamming of random content to fill up links. I understand you don't want spam but you shouldn't base it on a % of content. Maybe a per week/month allotance not a %.

lenny247 · 2014-03-28T18:38:05+00:00

yeah right, expect the usual "spammer, spammer, spammer" fuck that. if you make original music, reddit is the last place on the internet for you.

agsinger · 2014-03-28T20:43:51+00:00

After 6 years as a Redditor I have realized Reddit is an awful place to promote music and totally given up. SoundCloud and my blog work better. Redditors just don't care. I love you guys still though.

MashMeister · 2014-03-28T22:28:18+00:00

this subreddit has so many fucking rules for an art that's about the freedom of expressing yourself. Good info here, but stop trying to control what and where musician's want to post.

Wow. You're a total badass. As an obsessed music listener and someone looking to get into producing, this rocks. Helpful and considerate posts like these are the only reason I'm still subbed to /r/Music still.

There is also /r/mediacomposing for compositions for film/televisions/video games and the like. It's still a small subreddit, but with a little promotion it could flourish.

Thank you so much for making this list of different subreddits. It's really going to expand both my mind and the collection of subreddits I'm actually on! :)

Frekavichk · 2014-03-28T17:09:29+00:00

Does this also apply to people playing already made music.

Like could I do this with my sax quartet, link a few songs we've played?

ForcedWhimsy · 2014-03-28T17:15:08+00:00

Great post! What about "classical" instrumentalists and vocalists. I don't see much about band, orchestra, choir, or specific instruments much. I subscribe to /r/bassoon but it's really small.

Also, any music education out there?

There are so many musicians out there where this post don't apply to them.

WhenTheRvlutionComes · 2014-03-28T17:19:06+00:00

Under 10% of your submitted links must be to your own work.

This means you must be a regular redditor, not someone who only promotes their own work.

So, comments don't count towards this in any way? Because I am a regular redditor, I have thousands of posts and thousands of karma (tens of thousands under an old name I don't use much anymore). But I don't feel like watching the news feeds at sites and such for brand new news articles, so I don't really post links. As of now, my submitted links would consists of 1 rather mediocore picture I took of a river and uploaded to r/earthporn once, which got 4 upvotes, and which I didn't talk about in its thread, nor have ever mentioned again outside of this post. Therefore, a full 100% of my submitted links are OC, well above 10%. Does that make me a spammer?

Questions:

1) Is there a way to reach a wider audience with cover songs than /r/ICoveredASong? (Not sure if covers are included in the definition of "original music", since they're not really original)

2) Are covers allowed on Radio Reddit? (Again, ambiguity in the definition of "original" (or I guess the connotative definition to be applied))

Excellent summary! Thank you! I especially appreciate all of the subreddits.

Under "Music production, discussion, technique and community subreddits" I would suggest the following multireddit for people who want to design and build their own digital music instruments:

Digi_instruments. It includes a number of subreddits related to digital music instrument design, including a number of gems like r/DIYGear, r/cigarboxguitars, r/diypedals and r/Luthier.

Ayavaron · 2014-03-28T18:28:52+00:00

You probably shouldn't try to promote your music on /r/EDMproduction. I feel like that's a bad suggestion, even with a paid advert. In general, it seems like a bad idea to ever promote your stuff on a maker-oriented subreddit. That seems less shitty to do in a listener-oriented subreddit.
