How are you guys posting your mixes? Soundcloud wont allow me...?

Right there you cut out listeners, before even uploading ... Not everyone thinks the same as you, and not all your listeners are djs at all ...

Perhaps... but probably because all my followers are DJs, and I don't have many followers. I don't post anything on Soundcloud, only promos if I need to. Honestly, I think you're the only person making a big deal over 5-10 seconds lol So 1 out of 10 listeners will be disappointed at the first 5 seconds. If you put an special intro then someone else will be angry that there's an intro. You can't please everyone. Whatever you do, someone will complain. So do whatever you want.

You asked what we do and we gave our answer and you're not happy. I don't know what more you want. You know the answer now, if you want to post mixes on soundcloud, put an intro or leave 5 seconds of silence.

i've got 1 second at the start of my most recent one, and it went up fine. but then it's a dnb mix, so less likely to caught i guess..

I don't use any tricks at all and I've never had a dnb mix taken down.

maybe dnb peeps are less knobbish about it - free promo and all that.

Those uploading to Soundcloud are you allowing downloads or no? I have had no issue but I also do a tracklist and downloads disabled. I'm wondering if I'd get more hits if I allowed downloads but then I might risk having the mix pulled. Then again I see numerous DJ mixes on Soundcloud available for download so...I dunno.

[ImNotDedYet]

allow downloads - yes. You'll get more hits and listens. I highly doubt allowing download has anything to do with the mix being pulled. The actual content of your mix is what gets it pulled.

I also have downloads enabled ... I get a like for every 10 plays, and also a download for every 10 plays ...

But maybe disabling downloads gets u more play-hits, because the ones who download will not come back probably

[ImNotDedYet]

I know some people here (and I'm sure a number of others "out there") like to download so they can listen on the go instead of streaming...

have never had a mix get taken down. maybe don't play the most popular beatport top 10 tracks *shrugs*

has nothing to do with DLs allowed or not
its all about the content owner and if they have said to remove it.

Not long ago i contacted Mixcloud and told them to remove a live mix some dj put up because he never actually played at the gig.
was supposed to and never showed
then he wanted to get paid for reserving the time anyway.

He was going to be a few hours late but by then, other djs were playing so he lost is time of the night. Infact
there wasnt even any time LEFT in the night for hte place to be open so, no dice for him.

Then he recorded a mix titled "Live at ______ nightclub (promotional team name)" mixes live by DJ SO and SO

but it never happened and he was actually bad for business. He kept trying to get these underaged girls into the club.
Big no no (21+ only)
so we dropped him. and apparently, mixcloud dropped his mix
