To release some music with us, you’re going to need:
- Some audio files: All tracks must be in WAV format (16-24 bit, 44.1-96 kHz).
- An artwork: The image must be at least 3000x3000 pixels, in JPEG and with a good quality (not blurry or pixelated).
- Some metadata: That will include all the details and credits of your tracks (e.g. the songwriter, the lyricst, the musicians, etc.).
