Sound cloud annoys me because when lots of people post their work on a page safari always gets an error on my older iPads.
I like soundcloud but the spammers and fake accounts ruin the fun a little.Very sad you can just buy your followers and likes.
It's a great service but suffering from the usual corporate web plan:
Have great idea, and get in a crack design and development team to implement your new site.
Spend a few years developing, improving and promoting the site until it becomes a hit.
The accountants move in with suggestions for increasing the monetisation of the site.
Monetisation interferes with the usability of the site and the original developers and designers start to complain.
Accountants look at the cost of the in-house design team and decide they'd save more money farming the work out to cheap development companies - this is backed up by Management and Directors fed up with complaints from the origianl team that the site is losing it's original focus and user friendliness.
Original team leave, work farmed out piecemeal to a range of cheap development companies, bits and pieces are bolted on with no thought to the structure and UI as a whole, users complain and stop using the site.
Site is sold off at high profit to larger corporation who neglect it further until it's sold back to the original owner for fifty quid.
I'm guessing we're getting close to stage 6 with SC.
No....again deleted this facebooked spam software. No chance to like it anymore
Yes, it is pretty convenient and all but ubiquitous. My only issue is that I can't seem to upload a picture from the iPad.
No.... because of that i deleted my account again. Soundcloud is a bunch of facebooked shit today with spam followers ("buy soundcloud followers" etc.) and all about "give me a like and i give you a like". Today it's also more useful for famous artists not for unknown independent ones like in the past.

Just saw this on twitter. wise business decisions!
I used to have a Pro subscription and it was an absolute waste of money...constant copyright takedowns for our own tracks, legal threats for the alleged inclusion - in our dj mixes - of tracks we hadn't even used, a more often than not broken upload system, frequent login problems, needless "improvements" that actually made it harder artists to showcase work or communicate with labels. I stuck with it for a couple of years due to a lack of any alternative before deciding it just wasn't worth it.
The crappy audio quality ruins it for me, you never know what it's going to do to your tracks. I definitely prefer bandcamp, or even better just hosting on my own site where I can control the quality (320kbps AAC).
No. The upload works okay, but the support for editing your description, content tags and designating them private or public is still extremely flaky on iOS browser apps and there continues to be none of this user meta content functionality via apps even though there are now two official SoundCloud apps. It amazes me that SoundCloud put all of this effort into doing an SDK for uploading their content which has been incorporated into many apps but has put no effort into being able to edit the meta content descriptions for uploads which enables people to search for content. Until they provide iOS based user meta content editing support, I won't be signing up for any paid service with them as it shows a lack of interest, respect, and commitment to iOS based content providers.
Clearly their focus is on providing access to the music of preferred providers to the masses via their apps. When I open up the app, I get a bunch of content SoundCloud has selected for me, rather than content from the people I've chosen to follow. It even fails as some sort of musical Facebook, Twitter, or Flickr type model of social media where you can have some sort of preference over what content you receive and connect with groups sharing similar interests. SoundCloud fails to leverage their meta content data so they've become more like Apple Music, Spotify, or Google Music in terms of their mass market focus. The addition of ads further erodes the quality of their service.
I love Mixlr guys
no- there are so many places with unlimited uploading and more control- and they are having financial problems- so don't expect them to be around much longer- another mp3.com diaspora-
Agree with the general opinion listed above.
I have mixed views of Soundcloud because I create both original music and also do remixes. If you create original music, it's just another tool that happens to be popular at moment, similar to how Myspace,mp3.com was before. But Soundcloud only thrived because of the DJ community and after big companies started getting involved with Soundcloud, they basically turned their backs on the DJ community and issued many takedown notices. If they'll do that to the very supporters that helped them, that tells you their mindset and thus, I wouldn't want to invest my time and energy into a platform that I have little to no control over. Use it as an additional tool but don't invest too much into it.
Soundcloud is useful and, like all in this world, is not perfect (as is Youtube, not to say). Imagine not having it...
This!
Regarding sound quality, one thing to keep in mind is to not upload mp3s. It has something to do with their conversions I think. I uploaded an mp3 file, the quality was horrible so I took it down, converted the same mp3 file to wave and uploaded that. Much better. Of course you'll get the best result if you bounce directly to 24 bit wave from your DAW and upload that.
Here's an article on Palm Sounds about how Soundcloud has unilaterally decided that Soundcloud users are better off without groups and other changes.
Funny that this popped up again. Haven't been able to connect SC via web or Audioshare on my iPad for two days.
So yeah, "not very" would be my answer to the OP.
It seems every few months, features that used to work on my iPad no longer do. I don't have a paid account, but I'm getting a lot less for free than I was before. I was very close to paying for their pro account just a few months ago, but decreased functionality and general unreliability have changed my mind.
mp3 isn't a problem by itself - I can't tell a difference between .wav upload and 320kb mp3
(which still is significantly smaller)
24bit is never and under no circumstances required, it just bloats up the file.
That format is only useful to upload a raw acoustic take of a voice or instrument to share it with someone for further DAW processing and will only make sense with 'download enabled' .
Which in turn will publish your file on a number of obscure download sites worldwide.
An mp3 file for SC should not exceed -1 dB fullscale, and preferably start with some silence (at least that was suggested frequently).
But in any case the stream results in a not so small change in soundcharacter.
It will smooth things out, so you may be better off with a 'sharper' pronounced mix.
I once uploaded a microphone sample which had some biting highs because that was the mic's character. The stream came out just perfect - it was a great sound, stunning...
cheers, Tom
Cancelled my pro account last week, I can't do the simplest of things on iOS i.e logging in, adding to groups, editing track info can take a hundred touches of the icon until it stays on said screens. Emailed them with feedback and they didn't respond with anything helpful.
So I'm out!
For now!
I also agree with Telefunky regarding keeping the db down to improve sound quality and reduce artefacts due to compression.
I have never had any problems with it.
I never upload directly to it from my iDevices. Perhaps that is why?
I don't have any problems uploading from an iOS device, it's the general operation of the app. I suppose I could do everything from the laptop, but the hassle of waiting 10 minutes for it to fire up puts me off for now.
I'm happy in that it allows me to share my music with like minded souls, and discover stuff I wouldn't have otherwise, for free. I don't like the way the website works on mobile devices, and the UI could benefit from a general tweak. I'd give it four stars though, and in conjunction with YouTube, Bandcamp etc. provides a great platform for musicians to expose their noises.
Free service, so....yup....but ongoing iOS app snafu ultimately nixed it imho, without access to a desktop version there's little or no ability to edit your pages. These days bandcamp seems to be a better option.
I've decided not to confirm my pro account. Now even porn promoters have appeared...
I'll use YT and Bandcamp, give a try to Orfium, and use the free SC account only for showing short teasers
I had that issue when I first started using Soundcloud, and I remember waiting upwards of 25 minutes for it to go live. Now, GB tells me when it's ready (right away, practically) and hasn't been wrong yet.
Too bad about groups, it was (in theory at least) a good way to see what other people were doing with specific apps & VSTs. soon enough it will just be 99 million bots faving each other....
as for music discovery, I've disliked pretty much everything I've heard on soundcloud and have longed wished for a mute feature. but i'm a curmudgeon so w/e.
