1. Labeling Your Samples
To maintain professionalism and ensure smooth uploads, your sample files must follow this exact naming format: SampleName_BPM_Key_YourName_[CollaboratorName].wav Example (solo): MidnightGlow_140BPM_Cmin_ProdByK28.wav Example (with collaborator): Stars_98BPM_Bminor_ProdByJai_ProdbyK28.wav (a) Use “ProdBy” before your name. (b) Use underscores to separate each element. (c) Do not use spaces or skip elements. Must include: - Sample Name (clean and creative) - BPM (tempo, e.g., 98, 140BPM) - Key (e.g., Cmin, F#maj, Bminor) - Your Name (with ProdBy) - Collaborator(s), if any Mandatory Format - Files not labeled correctly will be rejected.
2. Tags
Tags improve discoverability. Use tags related to: - Genre: trap, drill, R&B, etc. - Instrument: piano, flute, guitar, synth - Mood/Vibe: dark, dreamy, ambient - Influence: Travis Scott, Cubeatz, etc. Don’t over-tag. Keep it focused and specific.
3. Collaborators (feature coming soon)
