I just released something for the first time on Bandcamp two months ago and I got a couple of followers and almost 200 plays so far, but I don’t think it’s possible to “build a brand” based on Bandcamp alone. There’s no kind of “community”, there are no recommendations like “Those who purchased this have also purchased…” (as seen on Amazon or wherever) or “Those who like this do also like…” (as seen on SoundCloud or wherever), there’s no information about what the artists like and who they are connected with and so on. So it’s not that easy to get noticed and the chances of somebody discovering your music aren’t that great. That’s why connecting with other platforms such as SoundCloud makes sense. But if you really want to “create a brand” you will have to invest a lot of time and activity in social media, and even then there’s no guarantee of becoming successful. Especially not when creating a specific style of music that’s far from being typical “same-sounding” commercial charts music. So, as a non-professional who isn’t interested in “branding” at all, my tip is to connect your Bandcamp releases with other platforms, to be active on those other platforms (give likes to others, comment on their stuff, follow artists and also communicate via personal messages) and to type your fingers to the bone on social media. But whatever you do, don’t expect anything. 
Thanks for good detailed expaination 
I almost regret my efford of going on bandcamp.
I will continue on SoundCloud as usual. Beware: more releases to come on sc…
Ok, I’ll watch. But no need to regret going to Bandcamp. Just see it as an opportunity to “store” your tunes and maybe to get some pocket money now and then. Of course those are peanuts, but better than nothing. And who knows, maybe one day someone who can make you famous discovers your stuff, or someone to collaborate with. If it’s going to be like that, great, and if not, who cares. You don’t have to spend much time once you’re registered.
What I like about Bandcamp is how you can make your page match your aesthetic and artistic direction, compared to other streaming services
This is a song I just made quickly. I like it a little.
My latest track, released last night:
First finished track using my recently acquired TB-03. Could have gone farther on the mix and mastering part, but I kind of like that unpolished overcompressed feel, and want to try using my TB-03 more on other tracks now.
And, it’s been a long time I posted here, but don’t hesitate to listen to other tracks I posted on my soundcloud page over the last months.
My favorite one is clearly this one though:
Would love to hear your feedback !
I got some help from DJ Frostbite and I must say that this sounds pretty good now:
Sleepless Obsession: Quite nice acidline, a few too many vocal samples for my taste and yes, you could have gone further on the mix.
Galactic Fracture: Nice composition and buildup, good instrumentation, good interaction of acid, bass and synth layer, nice way to use a breakbeat loop next to the “normal” drums.
It’s more polished in comparison to your original, but I prefer the softer instrumentation of the original, which I think is more suitable.
Yeah, I’m going to improve the remix still a bit with a “better” instrument arrangement, because I’m not 100% happy with it
After a short break i’m back in the Renoise rabbit hole. 
That was pretty good !!
New episode of ‘We are not robots’
6:54 minutes of joy !!! Straight to my favorites 
Thank you so much
It was fun to make it, and even more after knowing it made joy.
pretty nice, a bit too “harsh” in the highs for my taste, which makes the lows sound like they miss a bit of depth when it’s not really. Last parts with the pads sounds more balanced to me
great job!
Thank you for reply
I agree. Its harsh.
I think it is my use of Limiter, Gainer and/or Maximizer to achieve loudness that fails.
Mabye I should prioritize clearness on a lower volume, instead of competing with the ‘standard’ volume-level of other artits work.
It’s not because of the loudness, it’s because of the lack of using filters. To tame harshness that was caused by high frequencies, use LP filters on those instruments. Like this:
You could also put a LP filter in your master track. The order of the chain would be:
Monoizer - LP Filter - Limiter/Maximizer - TP Limiter/Maximizer - Loudness Meter
So, the principle is: LP filters to avoid harshness, HP filters to avoid muddiness
I know this But thanks anyway for the good explaination.
There is just to much mixing work when balancing everything into standard, so I loose the time for composing and arranging, which is pure therapy for me (releases my stress).
Sometimes I make more damage to the ‘raw’ mix by filtering etc, than just keeping it as it is. And waste a lot of time.
A good arrangement doesnt need to be mixed (i hope to reach that one day )
A good arrangement is good because it’s mixed well.
In any case you need to balance the instrument’s volumes (= biggest mixing part).
And you need to use filters if you want to also achieve loudness and clearness at once.
