Let's connect?
I am getting to know y'all slowly and everyone is so wonderful and helpful here. I was wondering if we could connect with each other on Insight Timer? If you're comfortable, please share your profile link and I would love to listen to your audios. :) And if you'd like to listen to mine, here it is: https://insighttimer.com/kaustubha

Hello ☺️ sounds wonderful, I've just given you a follow - looking forward to listening. Here is mine, I write music tracks: https://insig.ht/t2MrU7W1oNb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=live_stream_share
Fun Feedback - Track titles "Too short & Generic Sounding" 🤔
So 🤔 the IT crew rejected one of my premium tracks because the title was "too short and generic sounding." 😅 I originally called it "Presence". I have 100 tracks up there and this is the first time I've had this kind of feedback, and many of my other approved tracks have short names like this as well. Does anyone know if this is a new thing they're doing? It's a bit hard to name music the same way that meditations are named. I replied to them to suss out the vibes so we'll see what they come back with. I'm really not worried about having to change it at all, (in fact I've already done so - easy fix), but it's moreso that the goal posts keep changing and it's hard to keep up 😅 I am also a super abstract person, so a lot of my song titles reflect the imagery and impression I feel when I make a song. So it's hard to try and be true to that and also keep in mind what they will accept. Fun times! 🥳

@Ahsa M yeah I might have to. I used to do a similar thing but dropped it 😅
Plays on IT in the first month
Hello, I have 7 guided meditations posted on IN for a month (4 free and 3 premium). The total plays is 227 in my first month. I am curious how the others here did in their first month - it would be good to have a point of reference. I am not sure if this low, or average. Thanks in advance!

yes that is a FANTASTIC RESULT 🥳 You should definitely be proud of yourself. I produce music only so it can be a little bit different in terms of measuring performance, but I certainly didn't do that well in my first month. Keep it up! 🤩
Musician Collabs
Hi! I was inspired by an earlier post here for Teachers in this group who are musicians to create music for meditation Teachers. Love the idea! As I sat with it a bit, my astrology lens kept thinking about Pluto moving into Aquarius in November for the next 20 years... which I believe is going to have a strong emphasis on collaborations and community-building. (Thank you, Doug, for leading the way here!). So, I had the idea to create one base meditation track (called Chakra Play) and then invite musicians to take that track and add in their creativity. Which allows the listener to experience the wide variety of creations that can flow when different individuals play together. #plutoinaquarius I shared the idea with @Sarah Parfett and she's playing with the base track now. And I'm inviting anyone else who wants to play, to do the same! The base track just uploaded to my IT profile today, link below. It's a free track so that lots of listeners can get to know all of us. And my description each time a new co-creation is uploaded will focus on introducing the musician in the collaboration! Lmk if you'd like to play and I can send you the link to the mp3 file. There's no rush, it's an open invite. Big love! xoxo https://insig.ht/rfsnv4THjNb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=live_stream_share

If anyone is hesitant, don't be - it's actually the best fun! I've done two collabs with @Samantha Linden and also @Vivienne Gerard . Both collabs were incredibly rewarding 🥰
Title Analyzer
I've been using this free tool for years when writing a title for a blog. I decided to start using it to help me with track titles. I love the insight I'm getting!
