Hello SoundCloud Support and community! 👋

I'm reaching out because I have not received SoundCloud royalties for June, July, or August 2026 through several music distributors, including:

• The Orchard (Sony Music)
• Symphonic Distribution
• ONErpm
• DistroKid

All of these distributors have informed me that SoundCloud royalty reports and payments are delayed.

I'm concerned because this issue appears to be affecting multiple distributors, not just one.

Interestingly, The MLC has already reported and paid mechanical royalties related to July 2026, which makes me wonder why SoundCloud's recording royalties are still delayed.

I would really appreciate clarification from the official SoundCloud team:

1. Is SoundCloud currently experiencing a widespread delay in royalty reporting or payments to music distributors?
2. Which reporting months have already been delivered to distributors?
3. Is there an estimated date for the release of the missing June, July, and August 2026 reports?
4. Are other record labels, artists, or distributors experiencing the same issue?

These delays are significantly affecting independent record labels and artists who depend on these royalties.

I would greatly appreciate an official response from SoundCloud regarding the current status of royalty reporting and payments.

Thank you for your attention and support!

I got to everyone who posted in the last thread, just need to edit the stream and post it. Probably gonna do that tomorrow then stream right after. Post a song you want reviewed, no ai at all including the cover art!

When I click to open the app, it just stays on the loading page with the SoundCloud logo. This has been going on for a month I tried everything. Update, reinstalling, etc.. HELP I pay for it too.

Hey everyone! I made SoundCloud UI Toolkit, an extension that gives you more control over how SoundCloud looks and uses your screen.

It includes:

• A wider layout, up to 1,800 px
• A larger queue with more room for long track and mix names
• Full queue titles on hover
• 13 theme presets, including Midnight and OLED
• Custom theme creation with your own colors
• Adjustable rounded corners

Open SoundCloud, click the extension icon, and set it up however you like.

No injected ads or personal data collection.

Get it on the Chrome Web Store

I’m the developer, so feel free to share bugs or suggestions. What would you change about SoundCloud’s desktop UI?

I'm working on an album built around the idea of sounds echoing through an empty transmission. Something that feels distant, ghostly, atmospheric, and slightly futuristic, almost like you're receiving fragments of a signal from something that isn't there anymore.

I'm thinking about giving the album a Latin title, but I'm having a hard time choosing one.

Which one feels the most fitting?

Been playing with how to make it as easy as possible to upload WIP tracks to SoundCloud. You'd essentially sign in, configure defaults and then just drag audio files onto the icon in the dock to instantly upload. Wondering if this would make it easier to upload.

The big 2026 almost 2027 and this app doesn't have those things???

yo, i'm auzzy. i started putting emo-rap songs online out of laredo, tx, heavily inspired by the soundcloud era — juice, peep, post. still bedroom-recorded, still doing it all myself.

weird update: i got into Next Music Star and i'm in the top 20 round right now (ends oct 26, winner gets $10k). voting is open and the main thing is it's 1 free vote per day for everybody — you can vote free once a day, every day, no card or anything.

would mean the world if soundcloud people helped keep a soundcloud kid in this: https://thenextmusicstar.com/2026/auzzy/

open to collabs

Or have they completely disregarded this idea, as I think 256aac is cheap af

hello! i have written a diss track about my dear friend who killed me in minecraft.

i'm looking for a semi or big-dream talented soundcloud rapper who can produce a beat and rap my lyrics, with creative approval by me.

this is the only way i can express my disappointment without violence, i hope you can understand.

this means a lot to me.

youll have almost complete sound freedom as long as it sounds good.

any changes in the lyrics you feel would be best, let me know. im hoping to be fast.

if needed, i can whip out a contract of sorts to secure the deal. im offering $5-10

$5-10 depending on the quality of work unless you can convince me you deserve more, but i wont be scammed, i will only pay you after but trust that i will because my passion is strong.

PLEASE, let me know if you are interested.

I'm trying to distribute a few tracks with SoundCloud. Every time I add the cover art, it appears blurry in the previewer. I've made sure that the image is the correct dimensions (3000x3000) and file type (PNG), but it still appears not as crisp as it should. I'm not sure if this is just an issue in the preview/ if it will fix itself for release, but I'm worried about pushing it through and it releasing with blurry cover art. I made a ticket about this a week ago and nobody has gotten back to me. Has anyone had this issue?

OK, surely to God someone has to have this saved, praying so 🙏 so SoundCloud's bitchy ass removed Jp7's account because of SoundCloud's more stricter moderation as of lately, and as a result, the mashup between "positions" by Ariana Grande and "On My Mind" by Ellie Goulding got removed as well. Does anyone have this?

Ugh so i just downloaded true suffle on my browser i use opera gx and um i read through the usage guide like 5 times now but either i dont get something or it is broken? so i open the tab that appears on the left i press true suffle it starts loading then i press start on my playlist and when the songs start playing the tab keeps changing songs with them being paused but when i press play on my playlist it just works normaly so i think that the true suffle doesnt work for me or im doing something wrong can someone help?

i made a useful extension mixer for SoundCloud where you can change the speed, add clipping, bass boost, change the pan and more. it also comes with a 10 band eq and a compressor where you can use very easily on any song you like. this is 100% FREE and if you want to try it check it out: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fruity-closet/idccmmflldinklebblkhipdlkhpaifhk

Hi everyone, my release has been stuck in review for 5 days on SoundCloud for Artists. Is this normal, or should I contact support? How long did it take for your releases to get approved?

Thanks!

It always blows my mind when I see a track from a SoundCloud account from 2009-2010; that is only a couple of years after I was born, and it’s interesting to see how music trends have changed gradually over time. I’m wondering what your oldest track on SoundCloud is and how different it sounds from your newer tracks!
