Hello, I was thinking of riding the soundcloud. I usually render my sound files from Renoise at 9600 and 24 bit. With Audacity which should I compress the audio to for best results for uploading to SoundCloud? Thanks
just upload a wav file if you’ve got the bandwidth. 16bit/44100.
soundcloud re-encodes everything to 128kbps MP3 anyway, even if you upload a 128kbps MP3
oh i see, thanks! I was uploading a 78MB file! Erm, so basically with soundcloud you have to pay once you get over 2 hours of listening?
You have to pay if you want to upload more than 2 hours of content. If you reach that limit, you have to remove your old stuff or buy a subscription.
If you want to to give downloads - upload as flac.
The re-encoding is just for the SC-player. If you’ve uploaded your track as a wav, then the people who download it will also get the wav (if downloads are enabled ofc).
yes, absolutely! should have clarified, thanks.
