<p>Recording is not pressing “REC” and hoping for the best.</p><p>Recording is a sacred process.</p><p>It’s where your voice, your mind, and your soul are stamped into time forever.</p><p>And only those who understand this go from good to legendary.</p><p><br></p><p>Here’s the uncomfortable truth:</p><p>Many artists think the studio is a place to freestyle, vibe, and flex.</p><p>But the true ones treat it like a lab, a dojo, a battlefield.</p><p>They don’t just “lay vocals.”</p><p>They craft, review, delete, redo, refine.</p><p>Because they know — every take is a decision that echoes forever.</p><p><br></p><p>Want to change the game? Here’s how real recording artists operate:</p><p><br></p><p>They prepare before the session.</p><p>Rehearsed flows. Tested melodies. Lyrics that breathe.</p><p><br></p><p>They experiment, not guess.</p><p>They try harmonies, run doubles, layer ad-libs with purpose.</p><p>They know what they’re building — sonically and emotionally.</p><p><br></p><p>They listen more than they talk.</p><p>Great artists listen like producers. They step out of ego and ask:</p><p>“Did this line really land?”</p><p>“Is this hook sticky enough?”</p><p><br></p><p>They understand silence is part of the sound.</p><p>Not every beat needs filling. Let it breathe. Let the listener feel the space.</p><p><br></p><p>They leave the booth better than they entered.</p><p>Every recording session should teach you something about yourself.</p><p><br></p><p>Here’s what separates pros from amateurs:</p><p>Amateurs record to post.</p><p>Pros record to live forever.</p><p><br></p><p>So today, don’t just go record.</p><p>Go document your truth.</p><p>Build your legacy.</p><p>Sculpt your masterpiece.</p><p>Every song you drop is a spiritual fingerprint on the world.</p><p>Make it count.</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Contributor Rankings
The Contributor Rankings shows the Top 20 Contributors on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis.
The all-time ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.
