Bit Depth

Bit depth affects the dynamic range of your recording.

Uploading 24-bit masters generally provides the best balance between quality and compatibility.

Audio Quality Best Practices

For the highest quality release:

• Export your final mastered track.

• Upload the original master.

• Avoid converting MP3 files to WAV.

• Check for clipping or distortion.

• Listen to the complete file before uploading.

• Ensure the beginning and end of the track are not accidentally cut.

Loudness Recommendations

Although streaming platforms apply their own loudness normalization, we recommend:

• Peak level below

  -1 dBTP

• Integrated loudness around

  -14 LUFS

  for streaming

These are recommendations only and are not required for distribution.

Common Reasons Audio Files Are Rejected

Your upload may be rejected if:

• The file is corrupted.

• The upload is incomplete.

• The format is unsupported.

• The audio contains excessive clipping or distortion.

• The track is silent or extremely short.

• The uploaded file does not match the release metadata.

Troubleshooting

My audio file won't upload.

Verify that your file:

• Uses a supported format.

• Is not corrupted.

• Plays correctly on your computer.

• Has finished exporting completely.

My audio sounds different after release.

Streaming platforms encode audio using their own playback formats and may apply loudness normalization.

Minor differences in playback are expected.
