The Ultimate Guide For Uploading Beats To BEATSTARS

[@EdTalenti]

I hope I covered everything as far as uploading beats to Beatstars. Do you have any further questions? Did you find this helpful? ⤵️🔥💯

[@seanh6080]

EdTalenti I have a question when they get the mp3 tagged will they end up getting the one that's tagged everything 30 seconds???

[@simonasgudavicius]

Can many people purchase the same beat? Or is this - one beat per person kinda thing? Would need a video for beat licensing. Is there an option for royalty free beats? I mean, a person pays one time and uses the beat how he/she wants? Thanks if you have time to answer.

[@EdTalenti]

@@seanh6080 That's up to you to decide how to place your tags!

[@Beatmachinezmusic]

Hey bro, yes you covered everything great info. i have only one question its not about upload it about custom pro page 2. the thing is when i go to " Read full License" and new window pops up its kinda grey and it should be white if you know what i mean, and maybe its dumb question but i don't know where to change that color. So i was wondering maybe you know that? Cheers bro. Keep it up!

[@kuro-uv6fh]

Was really helpful. Still got one question: are you able to upload a untagged mp3 version and a untagged wav file at the same time? Poorly beatstars doesn't cover this at all. Thank you for your help and have a nice day!

[@BoomdockBeats]

You can tell its an older video when Ed don't laugh after everything he says and does lol love the energy now days but still watch the throwbacks

[@dirtypunkbeats3272]

Hey man, i've been a musician for nearly 20 years, only recently, finally, started making beats...it took way too long! Anyway i recently discovered your channel and your advice has been super helpful! I've been making notes (yes notes!), and got my beats ready, literally just uploaded my first beat to YT and Beatstars. So thanks! Gonna get an IG soon too. Keep up the good content my dude! =)

This was very helpful man thanks for breaking this stuff down

[@MrArtist1971]

Thank you so much for this Ed. My little daughter will give you a hug if we ever meet someday. :)

[@MrPastige]

Do you usually export everything for the stems? Like instead of just the drums, exporting the kick, snare, cymbal etc. ? If so, do you think it's unusual to not do so when selling them?

[@cobayo1239]

For the mixed .wav file at -6db, should we take everything off (eqs etc.) and only mess with the faders? A little confused on what can be left in the mixed version, thanks!🙏🏻

[@Zoloxer]

Basic eq, compression and leveling that’s all 👍🏼

[@dja.selekta]

I think he meant disable the master bus effects, that will probably help going forward knowing the end target.. Thank Ed

[@ftgmusicstation491]

I learned a lot from this video😍😇

[@Karinmelon]

Thanks for this video! I really needed to learn about what to mix and master. One other question though..do we have to upload track stems, or is that just optional? I hope you also upload a video about licensing and contracts :) I'm interested in learning where to register your beats when leasing to many artists. For example content id, copyrights and so on.

[@EdTalenti]

Thank you for the support! You don't have to do the trackouts it's totally up to you what to sell, under what conditions and for how much. There are no forced rules, just common practice ✌️

[@Karinmelon]

@@EdTalenti Thanks! :)

[@KingMatiCBeats]

Thanks for the great info bro, i agree posting beats on KZbin is kinda pointless now very hard to generate such traffic on here so you right its time to do something different than posting beats lol

[@Kris_jellybeard]

Hey Ed, can you do an update video on this Beatstars> seems lot of changes and I plan to start also selling some of my work (usually sync licensing). Need a bit knowledge on lenght of uploaded beats here and what about the use of them later on when another party uses them outside beatstars, what licenses prevail?

[@richardg8687]

Hello Ed, thanks for this video. Should we normalize the stems? Or simply export them at the volume level in your mix.

[@i7ami]

Keep the stems at mix level, this is in case they blow up and wanna send it off to be remixed, idk I usually have 2 folder in my zip file one with dry stems n the other wet with track fix applied.

[@beatarsenal1463]

How long should the stems be? The whole track or 4 bars, 8bars???

[@EdTalenti]

The stems should be the full track, starting at bar 1. This way whoever buys them can simply drag them into a new project on their DAW at the beginning of the arrangement, and everything is already lined up and ready to go ✌️

[@beatarsenal1463]

EdTalenti thank you

[@solowkeytv]

Good info and video mane! Do the -6dB wav have to be untagged? If the customer is going to buy I would like my tag in the beginning.

[@MusikLov]

@EdTalenti. No one talks about what you should do before even getting to this point. I've looked everywhere and I can't find any information. Every one has the same advice: quality beats + branding. But what about registering your beats before sale? Should we use songtrust at all? It's super frustrating that this information only seems to be available in some obscure law book that most of us will never read. Do you have any guidance on this? Maybe resource or advice? Your truly frustrated follower, Eddie

[@a.d.r9066]

What volume should one upload track to Beatstars? -6db for headroom for vocals. Would that mean anything less then -6db would be ok too? Like -12db. for example.

[@richardg8687]

Thank you Sir, for the mastered tagged version that potential customers will hear will BeatStars normalize it or is it best have it bounced at a particular level? If so what is ideal Peak, RMS or LUFS values?

[@brendan_mcginn]

Richard Grey I am guessing-14lufs or whatever works for your preferred streaming platforms.

[@crown_resident]

I really appreciate the video

[@prodkunka9761]

I know how to get my wav file, but how do I get my stems??? I’ve never heard of having to get the stems for anything. But I’m going to start using beatstars as soon as I can figure out how to get my stems and artwork and how to master my tracks. I enjoy ur videos man. I wanna do what your doing ahah

[@axeltigane741]

If you use FL studio, render your track/beat/song as a unmastered wav file and select SPLIT MIXER TRACKS on the rendering menu/settings. Now every track that is on the mixer is being rendered individually. You should have a separate folder for your artwork, tagged mp3, untagged wav and trackouts and render them directly in those folders to make things easier and to stay organised. Finally, compress your trackouts into a zip file and you are ready to go.

[@Relaxinginstrumentalmusic4u]

Hello I love your video. I’m just signing up with beatstars Have been doing beats for about a year and I love it. When I uploaded one of my songs it came up warning and it mentioned track stems. I wasn’t sure what to do so I didn’t finish the upload . Also you said the master track should be in MP3? Why not Wav as well? I’m still learning so I appreciate any advice and guidance I can get😊

[@minocal1]

On the first WAV file you mentioned. Never mind ozone, because thats all you mentioned. what about compression on master output and countless other options you can place on master chain? You saying nothing on master output? or what? 2nd point put tags on it> Where do place the tags? intro verse chorus outro.? Also Mp3 mastered. Ok ? At what volume on that one or should we all guess what it should be? 3rd point: Stems ready. Don't master them. What does that mean? no plugins at all on any of the stems? The stems are for rappers purchasing the beats. The rappers are not producers with software what are they going to do with unmixed stems? Also why do you need to provide stems? Then You said keep them at minus -6 db . that makes no sense what do you mean each stem at -6db?

[@qmennen]

Great video! Although I didn’t understand one thing: In the video you said the artist would never hear the mastered MP3 version of the beat, but in that case what are they buying when they buy the $25 MP3 version?

[@EdTalenti]

They get the mixed version not mastered. If it was mastered they wouldn't be able to add vocals without making everything clip! They should add them to the mixed version and then master the final thing ✌️

[@ecklectic3126]

Yeah I also think you should give a mastered beat. Just lower the beat in your daw...then when its mastered you're good. Cause they could mess the whole beat up

[@chraosta]

Thank you highly valuable!

[@jamezgilbeaux9228]

[@WOODNOX]

WAV: 44.1khz, 16-bit or 32-bit, Stereo MP3: 320kbps, Stereo

why not 24 bit wav?

[@alejandroisasi2837]

I really like your content and the way you come truth

[@EdTalenti]

[@reupramon9407]

For the wav file when keeping it -6db, can we just bring the Master knob down -6db, or do we have to level all the sounds till the Master knob reaches -6db?

[@shacqmusic9685]

your mixdown as loud as it can get and then you bring down the master fader to hit max -6db

[@ikeaman7247]

I think either can work.

[@SGSEN]

Hi Ed! I've got a question regarding the stems. What about panning and automation? do you turn them off? or you leave it there? And what about the levels of each track? You turn them back to 0 db? Thanks!

[@lucasm.3588]

Man, most of the time they're are going to use the Wav one because it sounds better, it has more richness and details. And the site automatically creates and Mp3 version from your untagged Wav file.

[@kicesoroor7509]

Hey man great video. Couple of questions. I’m putting a limiter on all my master channels to bring my tracks to 0db for upload, is that a good enough volume for the listeners? And I guess I’m a little confused by how many versions I’ll need of the tracks I’m uploading... say I want to sell only a basic lease and a premium lease but no stems, do I just upload mp3 or is it wav? Thanks man

[@tyranena_corazon]

mp3's are useful for streaming. however if you're selling licenses, your clients will absolutely prefer a .wav version.

[@sandrovrinten9136]

Thanks for this helpful video! I do have a question though. If someone buys a license and puts it up on Spotify. Do you have the right to get a share of the money they made by streams?

[@granitecareplus1402]

Can one upload tracks one has previously released on iTunes/Spotify?, as long as one owns them?
