Your beat is mixed and ready. Now export it properly and get it out into the world.
Export your beat as a WAV file at 24-bit/44.1kHz for the highest quality. For sharing online, MP3 at 320kbps is standard. Always keep the WAV master — you can create MP3s anytime but can't recover quality from a compressed file.
If you're not ready to learn mastering, use LANDR for AI-assisted mastering. For DIY mastering: add a limiter on the master bus, set the ceiling to -1dB, and push the input gain until your track is loud enough to compete with reference tracks without distorting.
DistroKid ($22.99/year) puts your music on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms with unlimited releases. Upload your mastered WAV, add artwork and metadata, and your music is live within days. Start building a catalog from day one.
Post beats on YouTube and Instagram Reels with visual elements. Engage with communities on Reddit (r/makinghiphop, r/edmproduction) and Discord. Consistency matters more than perfection — release regularly and improve publicly. Your first 50 beats will teach you more than any course.
