In the sixth class of the digital music distribution course, we will learn to prepare our content to meet the standards required by streaming platforms.
In order to make the user experience of Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. the best possible, a consensus has been reached in which they recommend to music producers that their works and everything that surrounds them be delivered under some rules that we will see throughout this class.
The audio format, its normalization, the format of the lyrics, the names of artists and record labels or the roles of the collaborators and participants are some of the characteristics that we will review Let’s start!
We already have it! We finally understand how we have to upload our jobs without being rejected or asking for requirements that we don’t understand.
It is very important to pay attention to this phase. It depends on it, not only that our music sounds good, but also that search engines and playlist reviewers find us easily.
As we have seen, we must also assign some codes that will allow radio stations, publishers and entities that use licensed music to track our compositions.
To assimilate this class I propose the following practice:
- Export one of your songs in integrated -14Lufs and -1 dB of true peak
- Design a cover in 3000×3000 px
- Request the ISRC and UPC code (even if you are not going to make physical copies)
- Format the letter as specified in class so that there are no problems.
Now that you have everything ready to move on, you are ready to see how to promote publications with traditional methods and with the extra services that aggregators give us.
As always, if you have any doubt or question, you can send it through the support form of the subscriber intranet. See you in the next lesson! 🙂
