Pros

“Being able to customize the background artwork on our audio waveforms and turn our header banner into a direct, clickable link.”

Angela W.

Graphic Designer

“As someone balancing the roles of a casual listener and a page manager for an independent artist, my overall experience with SoundCloud has been incredible.”

Angela W.

Graphic Designer

“Maybe soundcloud can learn from this and offer a better alternative to subscribing their users to become better seen when soundcloud isn't a production company and doesn't guarantee results.”

Steven C.

CEO-BOSS

Pros

“TikTok is highly effective for a music and vocal coaching business because it offers strong organic reach, especially for short-form singing clips, vocal tips, and transformation-style content.”

Michael Z.

Owner

“despite these flaws, TikTok brings a lot of lightness into my daily life and stimulates my creativity, I've learned plenty of practical little tips thanks to short, well-explained videos, which saves me time in several aspects of my life.”

Emma W.

President -Berklee A and R Group

“I have seen how creatives can use them as an Account Executive to drive campaigns for local artists and events and the trending audio tools are hugely useful in attracting attention.”

Luis V.

Account Executive

Cons

“Unresponsive customer service and ignoring the fact that there was a lot of spam clogging the channel.”

M. C.

Podcaster

“This can be pretty limiting and can prevent artists who are just starting from reaching a large fanbase before investing in something that could not earn back.”

Elijah P.

CEO

“In almost all my attempts to appeal copyright issues, I was not successful.”

Nkateko H.

Managing Director

Cons

“TikTok’s main drawback is its unpredictability, as reach can fluctuate heavily based on the algorithm, making consistent growth less stable for a music business.”

Michael Z.

Owner

“Without reliable screen sharing, it's more difficult to work collaboratively with colleagues on video drafts or campaign ideas.”

Luis V.

Account Executive

“I am really trying to build my account [sensitive content hidden] and it is so disheartening to now be locked out of that account for the second time in a month for multiple weeks with no response from support. If you know anything about the TikTok algorithm, it pushes videos out when you post frequently and consistently so this experience has hurt my growth on that app.”
