I’ve created a “Made With Ardour” Spotify playlist [1] which includes tracks listed in this forum.
The rules to be included in the playlist:
The track has to be mixed with Ardour
No limit on the number of tracks from each artist
Only one track per release (single, EP, album, etc)
Hopefully I will notice new tracks posted in this forum. If not, send me a message. If you as an artist would like me to change/remove a specific track, send me a message.
I’ve used the official Ardour logo for the playlist, I hope that’s OK?
What a cool idea! Thanks for doing this!! We (Rated Blue) will have a new release soon and very much appreciate your time in compiling this playlist. I’m enjoying a few tunes I have missed by other Ardour users as I type this…
Hmmm I can’t seem to find how send a PM to you, is it possible to swap out Rated Blue - ‘Straight Up’ for “When You Got A Name” from the Turnabout album? No rush, thanks again for your time and effort on this!
I think there may be some confusion, the Spotify playlist above is from Ardour users that are already on Spotify, you have attached your Soundcloud link but your song needs to be on Spotify.
3rd party sites like CD Baby, DistroKid and Soundrop (there may be others I haven’t mentioned) can get your music onto Digital retail streaming platforms like Spotify, Google Play Music, Amazon, Apple etc… etc…
Good idea. I think we need competition THE BEST OF ARDOUR 2019 - something like LMMS has https://lmms.io/competitions/. it would be an opportunity to fund Ardour
That’s an awesome idea, mr. brain! A community playlist like ‘Made With Ardour’ is a great way to showcase everyone’s work. If you or others ever want to keep a backup of that playlist, or share it across platforms like Apple Music, YouTube Music, or TIDAL, MusConv makes it super easy to transfer the entire playlist without losing any tracks.
I have removed all albums I have been involved in from streaming services, including those made with Ardour.
I suspect I am not the only one doing so recently. Spotify never had made me get any money worth mentioning, but their move to not paying at all for tracks with less than 1000 plays a month really made them reveal what a rip-off they’ve always been for lesser-known artists.
So, instead of a Spotify playlist, can something like a Bandcamp or Mirlo playlist be constructed?
I think your initiative is great, with very good intentions to promote Ardour and its creators…
but - there’s a big but…
Spotify is probably the worst platform for hosting these tracks.
Here’s a video in French… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVSOQATuogA&t=12s you can use the automatic translations of the automatic subtitles.
I know the platform world is probably shit, but Spotify right now is the worst.
