Preparing songs for Beatstars

AnsweredClosed

GraysenApr 9, 2020

Wondering if you can provide some guidance on preparing songs for Beatstars:

They ask for .wav, which I get; mp3, check; but they also ask for trackouts?????

Also, what are tags?

With all of that said, I am also wondering about when do the Loudness Requirements come into play????

Lots of stuff going on here, but I want to make sure I am uploading quality products before I move forward. Thanks in advance

Hey man, I don't have too much experience in later years with these online beat selling stores, but the formats haven't changed in years.

.WAV is your high quality file (which artists will use to record.)

.MP3 is your lower quality file, still acceptable for listening, but not for working with on a professional level.

Trackouts, also known as stems, are when you render each sound to its own file for the whole length of the song.

This gives the mixing engineer full control over the whole song, but they don't have access to your .FLP (FL Studio Project.)

In order to create these trackouts/stems, you have to make sure that each individual sound is on their own mixer insert.

On the actual export window inside FL Studio, you'll see Split mixer tracks. That will render each sound into its own file.

These trackouts are usually around 2GB for the whole project, to give you an idea.
