How to Distribute Your Music to All Platforms with SoundOn

In today's digital landscape, getting your music heard by a global audience is the ultimate goal for any independent artist. The key lies in effective distribution—making your tracks available on all major platforms and using advanced tools like stem distribution for greater creative control. This guide will walk you through how to master music distribution with an all-in-one platform like SoundOn, designed to help you achieve your career goals while retaining full control of your art.

Understanding Stem Distribution in Music

Stem distribution involves breaking down a track into its individual components or "stems"—like vocals, drums, bass, and melodies. This empowers producers, DJs, and remixers to deconstruct and reimagine your work, opening up new avenues for collaboration and creativity. For example, a DJ can isolate your vocals for a live mashup, or a producer can use your instrumental stems to create a completely new remix. SoundOn streamlines this process, allowing you to easily manage and distribute your stem files, maximizing your music's creative and commercial potential.

Distributing Music to All Platforms

To truly succeed, your music needs to be everywhere your potential fans are. Distributing to all major digital streaming platforms (DSPs)—like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music—is non-negotiable. This is where an artist-first distribution service becomes your most important partner.
