Is it better to use different alias names for different projects you're working on?
Just wondering if it is better to stick with only one name even though your music style may have changed up from what you were previously making, or should you create a different name for the different sound or style you're working on?

Depends what sort of cross over there is between styles. If none then a different name can help people differentiate.

I have a few aliases ... Just simply because if you want to capture a new audience, sometimes its better to just use a new identity and work it from the ground up, than pushing something with a name whats known for doing 'x' style, sometimes it can be hard to put your point across in different styles.

My thoughts exactly, just wasn't sure what everyone else thought.

by step correct
Once I get a few more tunes done I'll be changing my name..
Step Correct was like my DnB name since like..1996 or some shit. Dated. OG though..never heard of anyone else with it.
Too many name changes can work against you I think though..
