I’m solo and work alone as well.
As far as I can tell for a 2 minute song to be priced as a two minute song it really needs to be over 2:10. For some reason AJ is arbitrary on pricing songs in the 2:03-2:07 length – even if the fade out takes the length over 2:00 and cutting if off would make the track sound chopped they still price it at the lower level.
The whole track length thing is a bit arbitrary. I’ve had a few tracks that were 2:03 or 2:04 get knocked down to the lower price even when editing them to 2:00 would clearly make the fades sound cut off. You learn to make sure your track length is a good 10 seconds longer than the “official” length or you are likely to get your pricing clipped.
I would like to take a look at it.
I soundproofed my studio using double drywall and Green Glue between the layers. It worked out amazing well:

Have you thought about throwing out the highest rating and lowest rating. Often that gets rid or outlying data.
I guess I don’t understand, how can a day spent writing music be a bad day? What ever the style? And you can make money doing it… it doesn’t get much better than that.
Congratulations Dmitry!
A stop loss is a must if you invest in the market.
