Sending your tracks
to loudroom.

Quick guide for Solo and Pro subscribers — what to send and how to send it. Stem mastering instructions further down (Pro only).

Quick checks before you send

01

WAV, not MP3

24-bit if your DAW lets you (it's a dropdown in the export window). 16-bit also works as long as your meters aren't hitting red.

02

Don't push the volume

No limiter, no maximizer, no peaks hitting red on your final mix. Loudness is my job.

03

Drop the file directly

Your upload folder link is in your welcome email. Drag the WAV straight in — no need to ZIP. Filename can be anything; I sort by your artist name.

What you get back

A streaming-ready master, delivered as a private listening link (Samply). You can A/B against your reference in the player, then download the master from there.

Format: 24-bit WAV, at the same sample rate you sent me your mix in (44.1 / 48 / whatever). Need a different format for a specific use (CD, broadcast, vinyl-ready)? Tell me at upload.

Stem mastering

Pro only

Stems give me more to work with than a stereo bounce — I balance and process individual elements (vocals, instrumental, fx) instead of just the finished mix. Included on Pro at no extra cost.

What to send

A reference file plus your stems (max 5), all dropped in the same upload folder.

Reference

Your stereo mix exactly as you want it balanced. Name it 01-reference.wav. If you're sending two songs in the same upload, use 02-reference.wav for the second.

Stems — max 5

Suggested 4-stem layout for most rap/hip-hop tracks:

  • 01-stems-instrumental.wav — drums, bass, melody, all together
  • 01-stems-main-vocal.wav — lead vocal
  • 01-stems-backing-vocal.wav — doubles, adlibs, harmonies
  • 01-stems-fx.wav — wet sends only (reverb tails, delay throws, vox effects)

If the instrumental needs more granular control, you can split it into drums, bass, and melody — but cap at 5 stems total. Beyond that the gain is marginal vs the time it takes.

Why the reference matters

I balance the stems against your reference. If the stems don't sum to match the reference (e.g. you boosted the vocal stem after rendering, or the kick is hotter when soloed than in the mix), I'd be working against your intent. The reference is the source of truth — send it exactly the way the song is supposed to sound balanced.
