Workflow

Publish a Mix

The mix is recorded. How do I actually release it?

Publishing is packaging: the file is a third of the work, the tracklist and presentation are the rest.

Step by step

How to run it

  1. Master to platform loudness

    Normalise once, then leave it alone.

  2. Make square artwork

    One reusable template with a changing episode number reads as a series.

  3. Write the tracklist with timestamps

    Artist — Title [Label], one per line.

  4. Stamp file metadata

    Title, artist, artwork and year in the file itself.

  5. Pick the platform per goal

    Mixcloud for safety, SoundCloud for scene reach, YouTube for search.

  6. Add chapters and a description

    Where recorded, what it is for, who the labels are.
