Question about how to host multiple projects on Soundcloud
Posted: Wed Mar 09, 2022 6:10 pm
Many of us are in multiple projects. But it seems that Soundcloud only has one artist or project per account (I checked their site thoroughly to see if I've been missing something)? I upgraded to Pro Unlimited in December 2021, so I could start previewing pre-release mixes to people and replace them.
We are ready to release the actual album at this point (well, we will be once I master the final mixes that I posted to my account earlier this week). But I want to make sure the album (presumably it will have to be posted as a playlist?) will continue to identify my pseudonym (Zhar-ptitsa) as the artist, even though the playlist identifies the actual band name followed by a colon to separate the album title.
The other thing I'm not sure about is whether I should continue putting the track number in the file name, as it seems unnecessary on Soundcloud given that we can arrange the track order (some earlier hosting services stayed lock to upload-order).
Anyway, regarding the original question, do we need to sign up for separate accounts on Soundcloud for each project, to avoid confusion with listeners? And if we decide to start allowing donations or actually charging, I'm guessing this becomes more important still?
