When supplying music tracks, it is important to ensure that all necessary information is clearly communicated and that the audio files are of good quality. Below are instructions for delivering the different elements.
- Audio file MP3 or WAV:
Make sure that the audio file is of good quality and that it is the correct length. The format must be MP3 or WAV and the bit rate must be at least 128 kbps. If the track contains long silences, remove them before submitting to ensure that the total duration of the track does not include any additional time.
- Artwork/photo:
Each issue must have associated artwork or photo at 1400X1400 Dpi resolution. Make sure the footage is clear and of good quality so that it looks good on different platforms.
- Composer & lyricist:
It is important to mention the name of the composer and lyricist of the song. This can be done in the file name of the audio file or in the metadata of the audio file.
- Artist and other collaborators:
Include the name of the artist and any other contributors to the song, such as producers, musicians, mixers, etc. Make sure this information is spelled correctly to avoid confusion.
- Owner of the recordings:
Don’t forget to include the name of the owner of the recordings. This could be the artist himself or a record label.
This information can be provided in the form of a document or in the metadata of the audio files. It is important to provide all information correctly and completely to ensure the song is displayed and credited correctly across platforms.
If there are special requirements or instructions from the platform on which the music tracks are delivered, please ensure that these are followed and included in the delivery. Please also remember to include the supplier’s contact details for any questions or problems with delivery.
It is always a good idea to make a test recording and check it before the tracks are finally delivered. This prevents any problems with the quality or the information provided. By following these instructions, the music tracks can be successfully delivered and displayed correctly on different platforms.
