Tech Tip: Uploading Files on SoundCloud

I have been using SoundCloud for quite awhile now, but never uploaded any tracks. It's actually very easy!

1. Register/log in here.

2. Have the tracks you want to upload ready (they must be saved to your computer already).

3. Upload tracks.
I haven't used this feature yet, but you can go ahead and record yourself! So if you're interested in making a cover or singing an original song, go for it! If not, select "choose a file to upload"
This will open up another window; access and select the file you want to upload, then click okay.

4. Processing.
The music file has to process beforehand, but while you do that, you can fill in the other info! You can add a picture if you want, title the track properly and add artist info. After that, just hit save to finish uploading it.

If you're uploading, I believe you can only upload about 300 minutes worth of music before you have to upgrade accounts.

Tech Tip: 8Tracks

8tracks is full of music mixes-- so basically kind of like YouTube playlists-- just on another site. However, this one is more open to more topics. You can search pretty much anything (e.g. instrumentals, study music, chill, etc.). Lots of people upload their playlists on the site, so it's a nice way of finding music! If you're in certain fandoms, you can also search those. People make playlists for certain characters, too.

So if you like Dr. Who, there's definitely Dr. Who fanmixes. Some might be specifically for Rose or Ten, or maybe both of them together. Game of Thrones? Those are there too.

First thing is first: now, you have to register to listen to fanmixes, unfortunately :(.

1. Register here.
2. On the homepage, search for anything! If I'm cramming for a terrible test, I might want nice music to help me focus, so I'll search up "study" and "chill"
Here are some results:

As you can tell, those playlists are pretty popular, so hopefully, they're good. There are tons more, actually.

You can just click on the picture and the play button will show up, and there you go!

Happy listening :).
