I will prepare audio for streaming distribution


Sobre este Serviço
Is your finished audio ready for distributor upload? I will prepare your audio file for streaming distribution by converting formats, matching loudness, checking true peak levels, and delivering clean, organized files.
This gig is for hobbyists, independent artists, podcasters, and small creators uploading through distributors such as DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, Amuse, Ditto, UnitedMasters, and similar services.
What you get:
- Format conversion for distributor upload
- Loudness matching for music or podcast delivery
- True peak check/limit to reduce clipping risk
- WAV and MP3 delivery
- Clean file naming
- Organized delivery for singles, EPs, albums, or non-ACX podcast episodes
Default targets:
- Music: -14 LUFS
- Podcast / spoken word: -16 LUFS
- True peak: around -1.0 dBTP
Important:
This is distribution preparation, not full mixing, not noise removal, not ACX compliance, and not creative remastering. Please send your finished stereo mix. Severe clipping, bad noise, or unbalanced mixes may require a separate service.

Perguntas frequentes
Is this full mixing or mastering?
No. This gig prepares a finished audio file for distribution by handling format, loudness, true peak, and delivery organization. It is not full mixing, not stem mixing, and not creative remastering.
What file should I send?
Please send your final stereo mix. WAV or AIFF is preferred. MP3 is accepted, but conversion from MP3 cannot restore lost quality.
Which loudness target should I choose?
For music distribution, -14 LUFS is a common default. For podcasts and spoken word, -16 LUFS is a common default. If your distributor or platform requires a different target, tell me before the order starts.
Do you guarantee platform approval?
No. I prepare your files to common distributor and streaming specifications. Final approval depends on the distributor, platform, metadata, content rules, and source audio quality.
Is ACX included?
No. ACX has stricter requirements and is not included in this gig. ACX work requires a separate service.
Can you remove background noise or fix bad recordings?
Not in this gig. This service is for distribution preparation. Noise removal, dialogue cleanup, and audio repair are separate services.
Can you fix clipping?
I can apply true peak limiting if the file has enough headroom. Severe clipping, distortion, or poor source recordings cannot be fully repaired by format conversion or loudness matching.
Do you deliver separate files for every streaming platform?
Usually no. Most distributors use one finished audio file per track and deliver it to many platforms. I can prepare a main distributor-ready file and, if needed, a podcast/platform MP3 version.
What files will I receive?
Default delivery includes WAV and MP3 for each processed file. FLAC or AIFF can be provided if your distributor accepts it and the source quality supports it.
How do revisions work?
Revisions cover corrections within the agreed scope, such as loudness target, format, true peak, or file naming. They do not include new mixing, noise removal, arrangement changes, or creative tonal redesign.
