You can, however, SWITCH distributors if you need to. Make sense? You have to pick one for each release, which is why it’s so important to choose the best music distribution company for your needs. You can’t ask Symphonic and DistroKid to distribute the same song to all the stores, then that same song would be listed in Spotify, Apple Music and everywhere else TWICE. You can use multiple distributors for multiple releases HOWEVER you can only use 1 distributor for each release, of course. These music distribution companies do this for you. Some of these companies are closer than others to this reality, but no one is completely there yet.įor clarity, you need a distributor to get your music into Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, TikTok, Instagram Stories, Deezer, Tidal, etc. Digital distribution companies are evolving into one-stop royalty collection shops for DIY musicians.Įventually, you will be able to use digital distribution with one of these services and they will collect 100% of all your sound recording and composition royalties from around the world and you won’t need to worry about registering or collecting all your money elsewhere. And Believe, a French company, owns TuneCore. The Orchard is owned by Sony and INgrooves is owned by Universal. Some work directly with artists and they take around a 20% commission for it. INgrooves, The Orchard and Believe are all distributors in the space that primarily work with labels. It’s worth noting, that this comparison is for standalone music distribution services that primarily cater to independent musicians – not labels.
Literally in the past 4 months from when we started the update to when we posted it, SoundCloud got out of distribution and migrated everything over to Repost Network. So for the past few months we at Ari’s Take have been learning everything we could about these 19 companies.
You’ll find three variations of this NKI patch in the download pack, one containing all of the samples mapped across the keyboard and two additional ones that work as mini drum kits.I’m keeping this review updated and any time a company lets me know their changes or I hear from you that something has changed at one of these companies, I update the report.
It also features a bitcrusher which is linked to the modulation wheel. The first one is a rather simple affair, with on-screen controls for the filter, volume envelope, a reverb, and a delay effect. The pack contains two different types of NKI patches. Apart from a whole bunch of drum samples, Game Boy Drum Kit also contains a nifty bonus collection of SFX hits, arpeggios and some lovely pulse wave bass sounds. Some of the included hits are quite unlike what you’d normally expect to hear from a Game Boy, especially some of the snare drums which sound quite C64-like (they were built in the wavetable editor in an attempt to recreate the classic Rob Hubbard SID chip snare sound). While creating the drum sounds in LSDJ, I’ve tried to come up with as many different types of drum hits as possible.
All of the included sounds were made from scratch in LSDJ and they are provided royalty-free for use in music and video production (both free and commercial). The download pack also includes a set of NKI patches and a simple SFZ patch which is there to help you quickly load up the samples in any SFZ compatible instrument. Game Boy Drum Kit contains 64 drum samples in total, all of which are included as 24-bit WAV files (44.1 kHz). Fairly Confusing’s amazing NI Kontakt instruments have been featured numerous times in our news section ( Bleepman is a recent example) and having him on board for this freebie sample pack has been a huge pleasure. This free sample pack is the result of several long scripting and editing sessions, as well as an unexpected collaboration with SzcZ (aka Fairly Confusing Waveforms).
All of the included samples are 100% dry and unprocessed, apart from the fact that they’ve been recorded through a compact tube preamp. Game Boy Drum Kit is a free collection of 8-bit drum samples which were recorded from a black Nintendo Game Boy running LSDJ software.
