How to Get Your Guitar Samples Approved
To make sure your guitar samples get approved and earn you those valuable credits, follow these guidelines when you upload:
Submit WAV Files Only
Why WAV? WAV format ensures the highest audio quality, which is what producers and musicians look for. Your file needs to be crisp and clear to make the cut. Remember, the maximum file size allowed is 20 MB, so double-check before you upload.

Use Descriptive Names
Make It Clear: A great sample name should give listeners an idea of what to expect before they even hit play. Avoid generic names like "Guitar Loop 1"—be specific. If it's a funky riff, call it something like "Funky Wah Guitar Loop." This not only helps your sample stand out but also makes it easier to find.
Choose the Right Category
Get It Right: Correctly categorizing your sample is crucial. Pick the main category that best describes your sound, and don’t forget to select a sub-category if it applies. This helps your sample reach the right audience and increases the chances of it being used.
Tag Your Samples Well
Be Thorough: Tags are key to getting your sample noticed. Use as many relevant tags as possible, and don’t hesitate to add custom tags that fit your sound. The more accurate your tags, the better your sample will perform in searches.
Focus on Quality and Uniqueness
Keep It High-Quality: Only submit high-quality, unique sounds. Avoid anything with long silences or abrupt cutoffs. And remember, duplicates won’t be accepted, so make sure your uploads are original and polished.

- Try Different Sounds: Experiment with a range of guitar tones, from clean to distorted, to expand your chances of getting approved.
