Audio files requirements

UpdatedSeptember 2, 2023

                                            

  •  Mastering:  In Order to ensure good Audio Quality, and meet the Standards of today’s Music Industry, all Audio Files, must have undergone a professional Mastering before their Distribution.

  •  Audio quality: The audio files should not have any Sound imperfection. Audio files containing any background noise and other sound imperfections will not be accepted for distribution. Silence, cuts, pauses or extended silences are not allowed. The audio cannot have more than 10 seconds of silence neither in the beginning nor in the end of the track. Other kinds of silences, such as cuts, long pauses or sudden endings, should be avoided too as they can be misunderstood as audio errors.

  • Audios and titles
    Audio files and track titles must always match. We do not accept audio uploads to tracks that do not correspond.

  •  Minimum length
    If it is a single, a song has to last more than 30 seconds, otherwise, the channels can interpret the release as click fraud. If it is part of an EP or album it can be permitted as long as it has coherence with the whole release or if the song is an intro, interlude or an outro. Generally speaking, unless it is artistically justified, we recommend audios longer than a minute.

  •  Previews, commercials, snippets and trailers
    None of these formats are permitted.
  • Minimum audio resolution: 
          The minimum requirements for uploading audio masters are:
