ADSactly Music Initiative #09

Hello you amazing Steemians and musos, yes it has been way too long.
We have unfortunately been inundated with work at our day job and at the same time the whole Hard Fork happened, so it was a good time to take some time off. There has been some amazing changes on the platform and for one, the curation increase has been very noticeable and in some cases it has increased almost ten times what it used to be, which we think will be amazing in the long run. We really hope that these small changes will help bring more users as well as musicians to the platform, as well as investment to help get this Steem market back to where it should be or was.

Introduction

We got together and decided we wanted to do something in the music space, as there are so many budding, talented musicians on the Steemit platform. We noticed that, although there were a lot of people posting, it felt like some of the contributors could use a little helping hand. I mean, who wouldn't want a little helping hand, right?
So where could WE add value? We could use our own in-house production people to help develop music for fellow Steemians looking for that little extra audio assistance.

We'll be running an initiative whereby Steemians can post their links below, and if the criteria are met (please read the criteria), we'll dig in with them and help mix their track, or add some instruments that they feel are missing from their song, or some little production techniques. If there isn't actually a post that our producer can work with, we might even just decide to give one of the entrants a bit of upvote love.

As time goes by and we put together enough collaborated content, we will then upload this content to digital stores (iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, etc.) and release a compilation album.
The other avenue where we would like to add value is to sync the music to commercials to try and develop some additional passive income for the artists.
Where will this go?
....Only time will tell!

We'll report back with the results in the following post so you, our followers, can keep track.

Disclaimer: Sometimes it might the case that out of all the entries, there isn't a post that can be worked with effectively; whether its due to a winner not getting back to us, or there being insufficient or inferior audio separates to work with. In this case we'll pick a song or track to show some love to.

Our Previous Winner

We’ve decided that we would like to give some upvote love to Hive account@fercomusic

A very smooth forest house track with some interesting elements, and just in time for summer, well, that is, summer for us down here. Ferco is also a relativly new Steemit user who only joined the platform last month, but he has been creating music for quite some time and we had a listen to some of his tracks on Sound Cloud, which you can go check out here. Since our last music post was quite some time ago, we have given one of his most recent posts some upvote support, and we would love you to do the same. Also please check out his submission below.

Please be sure to join our discord server and look out for the adsactly_music_initiative channel, where you can drop your music link as well as chat to us and others about all things music. We look forward to seeing some amazing new music tracks and projects, as well as meeting all the musicians who have come to Steem.

Now what are you waiting for? Go and get that music post and link it in the comments...Don't forget to check up in the "How It Works" section to make sure you submit within the parameters. Let's have some fun with music!
