Updated May 9, 20242 min read
Uploading your first beat to SoundSeam is quick and easy. This guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Before You Begin
Make sure your beat is ready for upload. We recommend having your audio files in high-quality formats (WAV or MP3 at least 320kbps).
- Prepare your beat in WAV specifically
- Have artwork ready
- Have stems ready
Upload Process
Follow these steps to upload your beat:
- Log in to your SoundSeam account
- Click the 'Create' button in the top right corner
- Drag and drop your beat file or click to browse your files
- Drag and drop your artwork and stems, or click to browse your files for them
- Fill in the title, description, genre, BPM, etc.
- Add tags to help users find your beat (these make your beat searchable)
- Set your pricing and licensing options
- Add collaborators and their splits
- Click 'Publish' to make your beat available for sale
Pro Tip
Adding high-quality tags will help your beat get discovered by more artists. Use relevant keywords that describe your beat. We designed the search engine to look at tags just as much as your title.
After Uploading
Once your beat is uploaded, it will be immediately available for purchase. You can track views, plays, and sales in your Dashboard.
Important
Make sure you have the rights to all sounds used in your beats. Using uncleared samples can lead to copyright issues.
