What we do for your TuneCore release
Make one approved source travel well
Listening services can normalize and encode independently. A controlled, unclipped master gives each destination a stronger source.
Choose TuneCore as the destination
The canonical mastering flow includes 8 release destinations, 8 genre choices, and 3 loudness profiles. The main uploader accepts audio files up to 200 MB.
Compare first, export when approved
Upload, configure, process, and switch between Original and Mastered before joining. An active €4.99/month membership unlocks WAV and MP3 download and export.
TuneCore in depth
Prepare the master before distribution
TuneCore is the delivery path to listening services, not a substitute for approving the sound of the source. Follow its current audio requirements and listen to the final exported master before starting the release.
Questions about mastering for TuneCore
Does TuneCore master my music for me?
TuneCore distributes music and may offer additional services, but distribution itself does not replace approving the final master. Review its current product details before release.
What file should I prepare for TuneCore?
Follow TuneCore's current file requirements and submit the highest-quality master that satisfies them.
How long does MixMasterAI processing take?
Processing time depends on track length, source format, device performance, and current service conditions. The interface shows progress while the master is created.
Can I try the master before joining?
Yes. Upload, settings, processing, and A/B comparison come first. An account with active €4.99/month membership is required only when you choose WAV or MP3 download or export.
