Upload Instructions

In this article, we’ll go over preparing and submitting your file to Audio Buzz.
Please read this article carefully before uploading your track to our system.

Prepare & check your files

All tracks uploaded to our system must be saved in WAV or AIF/AIFF format in 16 bit/44.1 kHz, Stereo.
DO NOT upload mp3 files as they will be rejected by the system.

Make sure any samples, loops or other elements that are not your own work are appropriately licensed for commercial use before uploading any files to our system.

Remember, you are legally responsible for the tracks you submit.

Infringement of intellectual property will not be tolerated and may result in your file being removed and your account permanently disabled.

1. Name your tracks

When naming your track, make sure you capitalize the first letter in each word.
Small words like “of” and “an” may be lowercase. Your MAIN track should be named as follows:

Track-Name. wav

In the “Name” field – only enter the main track’s name. 
Cut-down versions of the main file should be named according to their duration, for example:

Track-Name_30sec.wav
Track-Name_15sec.wav
Track-Name-5sec.wav

Looped files should be named according to their duration, and be marked as looped, for example:

Track-Name_30sec-Looped.wav
Track-Name_15sec-Looped.wav
Track-Name-5sec-Looped.wav

Stem files should be named according to the stem type, for example:

Track-Name_Bassline-Stem.wav

Note: Cut-downs, looped and stem files will be uploaded in the next section’s “Upload audio files”

Currently your commission for tracks sold exclusively on Audio Buzz is 50%, while non-exclusive tracks will award you with 35%.
