What Kind of Audio File Should I Use?

Here are the essentials to double-check before submitting your audio files to our team:

 

Check The File Format

We only accept WAV files. WAV files maintain the highest sound quality by avoiding the compression that can degrade the audio. Other formats like MP3, AAC, Dolby Atmos or FLAC are not accepted.

Check The Sample Rate

We accept files with a sample rate between 44.1 kHz (standard for CDs) and 96.0 kHz (higher definition). Ensure your audio file falls within this range to meet our requirements.

Check The Bit Depth

We require a bit depth of 16 bit (CD quality) to 24 bit (high-resolution audio). Files outside of this range will not be accepted.

Master Your Tracks

Before submitting your order, make sure your audio files are mastered! Mastering is the final step in audio production and it optimizes the sound for consistent playback across all devices and platforms. Unmastered tracks may not sound as polished or professional, which can negatively impact the listener's experience. That’s why it’s essential that you don’t skip this step!

If you haven't mastered your tracks yet, we offer some options to help you out:

  • Instant Mastering: This tool provides fast, automated mastering directly through our platform.
  • Professional Mastering with JP Masters: For a more personalized touch, we partner with JP Masters, a professional mastering studio that can ensure your tracks are polished to perfection!
