Stargazer Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I have always wondered how would it be to upload CD-quality files to Youtube. It have seemed very complex to me. I uploaded a video and seems like the requirement is the money from the ads. So I can upload almost any file, if all the money from the ads goes to "respective copyright holders" (record companies etc.) I will be uploading more music. This is the first test. I am not in terrible need for money right now. Of course I am finnish myself, so even though I don't directly benefit a penny right now, some of the money goes into finnish pockets 😄. I think this sounds very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 It does sound good... So the original file is CD-quality, and YouTube doesn't downgrade it in the upload process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Nope. Here is the the whole fricking album. 10 hours of work. The Youtube text said that I am allowed to release this music. I did it the official way. The claim was, that Youtube might show ads in the videos, and all the money goes to "respective copyright holders". I don't get any money, if I don't make a "claim". After that I might get some share from the videos, maybe. It allowed to show the autographs and everything. On top of that, I study in Kuopio (maybe 60 miles from Kitee). So basically the Finnish label guys can visit my studying place if they want (concerning copyrights). I was a little amazed how easy this was. I used Adobe Premiere Elements to make the videos. So I exported the video from Premiere at full quality, which makes a "downscaling" effect. This means, that technically this material is much below CD-quality, but the conversion is very good. Note, I made the conversion in the video editing program. The Youtube "downscaling" cannot use that much of CPU-power. That is propably why these sound so good. (Of course Adobe software have a very good audio scaling algoritm.) So, these videos are completely legal right now. I just wanted to test this. I will download these videos to another specific new channel. I will replace the link. So that everything is not under one channel. I cannot change Youtube Channel, because it requires phone authorization, and my Apple iPhone is dead (recharging doesn't work.) Typical musical problems.

Fugazi Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Ok let me know when your new channel is set up, I can link to you from the Century Child album topic. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Update. I made a new channel just for relasing music. I deleted the material from the previous channel, that's why the link is broken. Maybe a mod can remove the link (it seemed difficult to delete the broken link). I used all my daily upload space. So I will add the missing songs (08 - Feel For You and the live songs) later. Note: I tried to upload an album stream version of the album, but it was blocked. It went through, when I uploaded the same songs individually and made a playlist. So maybe it is not a good idea to spend 20 hours on an album stream (somebody elses music.) Download the songs individually. Just a tip for saving time. Youtube didn't delete the album stream from my account, so seems like you can upload almost anything for personal use, even though the video would be blocked "worldwide", as the term stated. Anyway, here it is. Fugazzi, you can add the link to the "Century Child" -page as you wished earlier. It didn't activate the playlist. Maybe now. The playlist can be found on the channel. https://youtu.be/rVzO-eQh2zU Edit: It doeesn't automatically start playing the playlist as usual. Maybe next time. I think this is the link to the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVzO-eQh2zU&list=PL35Pn1DA8jXVs1V8fyP4ow_MRxlPSYb4z Edit 2: For some reason I cannot upload profile pictures or anything on the channel right now. That's why there is a beautiful pink circle symbolizing my channel. I'll try again in 2 weeks. Edited October 9, 2021 by Stargazer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Update Nov 2021: I added a nice Channel Logo. It was quite difficult, because the logo just wouldn't load. Now, after 1 month I succeeded. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really bothered, just curious! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet began doing tricks, so it was just safer to leave it be with the other background. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, ya'know.

Fugazi Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I just noticed you even have the lyrics included in the videos. Good job! 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
