Buy SoundCloud Comments

Comments on SoundCloud are different

On most platforms, comments sit in a list under the post. On SoundCloud, they also sit on the track itself. Each comment is pinned to the moment in the song where it was written, and small avatars appear along the waveform. As the track plays, the comments pop up at their moment: "this drop!" right on the drop, "that bassline" on the bassline. A track with comments along its waveform looks alive; a bare waveform looks unheard.

SoundCloud comments add comments to one track, spread along the waveform and shown in the comment list below the player.

Why comments matter for artists

Plays tell you how many times a track was played; comments tell you what people thought. For listeners, a track with comments feels like part of a community. For artists, comments are social proof when a label, promoter or blog opens the link, and they give you something to reply to, which builds a relationship with your listeners. Producers often watch where on the waveform comments cluster, because it shows which moments hit hardest.

How SoundCloud comments work

• Open your track and copy its link from the address bar or the Share button.
• Paste it on the order form, choose the amount and check out.
• Keep the track public with comments turned on while the order runs.

A track link looks like soundcloud.com/yourprofile/your-track. Your profile link is not enough, because comments go on one track. Check the track's settings: SoundCloud lets you turn off comments, and lets you hide comments from the public. Both must be allowed for the comments to appear.

What the comments say

The comments are short, positive reactions of the kind listeners usually leave on music, placed at different points along the track. They are general rather than about your exact lyrics or instruments. If you want a comment that says something specific, such as credits or a link to your next release, write it yourself; artists often pin their own comment at the start of a track.

Who buys SoundCloud comments

• Producers and DJs sharing new tracks, edits and mixes.
• Rappers and singers releasing singles and demos.
• Artists pitching to labels and blogs who send SoundCloud links.
• Podcasters using SoundCloud to host episodes.
• Collectives and small labels promoting their roster.

Comments with plays and likes

Comments look most natural alongside plays and likes. A track with 300 plays and 150 comments looks odd; a track with a few thousand plays, a few hundred likes and a few dozen comments looks like a track people enjoyed. If you are building up a release, plan all three together. See SoundCloud plays and SoundCloud likes.

Reply to your listeners

Every comment is a chance to talk. Reply to comments on your tracks, thank people and answer questions about gear, samples or upcoming releases. Listeners notice when an artist replies, and real listeners who see an active comment section are more likely to add their own. Your replies also appear on the waveform, so your voice becomes part of the track.

Get the track page right

• Upload good artwork at the size SoundCloud recommends.
• Write a description with credits, links and the story behind the track.
• Choose the right genre and tags, so listeners in your scene find it.
• Add the track to a playlist or album with your other work.
• Pin your best track to the top of your profile with a Spotlight, if your plan allows.

How many comments look natural

Keep comments in proportion to the track's plays. On most tracks, only a small share of listeners comment. A few dozen comments on a track with a few thousand plays looks healthy; hundreds of comments on a track with a few hundred plays does not. Spread comments across your important tracks rather than putting them all on one.

A worked example

A house producer finishes a new track and plans to send it to a few labels. They upload it with full credits and artwork, pin their own comment with a thank-you to the vocalist, and order a modest number of comments together with plays and likes. When the label's A&R opens the link, the waveform is dotted with reactions, many of them around the drop. The producer replies to each comment and shares the track with their mailing list.

Moderate your comments

SoundCloud lets you delete spam and unwanted comments on your tracks. Remove anything abusive quickly, so the comment section stays a friendly place for real listeners.

Before you order

• Make sure the track is public.
• Turn comments on and make them visible to the public.
• Use the link to one track, not your profile.

What comments do not do

Comments add comments to the track. They do not add plays, likes, reposts or followers, and they do not decide where SoundCloud recommends the track. For those, see SoundCloud plays, SoundCloud likes and SoundCloud followers.
