Prepare your master
Export the final mix as an uncompressed WAV — 24-bit / 48kHz is the delivery standard. Listen to the whole file once, start to finish, on headphones and on a phone speaker. Check the start and end for clicks, and leave no accidental silence at either end.
Artwork that passes review
Artwork requirements vary by destination. Confirm the current file, colour, text and logo rules before delivery.
Metadata & codes
Metadata is how the world finds you: artist name spelled exactly the same way every release, the real title with no decoration, the correct language and genre tags. Identifier codes — ISRC for the recording, UPC for the release — are assigned during onboarding; you do not need to buy them anywhere.
Choose your release date
Give yourself runway. A date several weeks out leaves room for review, delivery and pitching before day one. Align the date with anything you control — a video, a show, a post series — so the release lands with support rather than alone.

YouTube Content ID scans YouTube for videos that use your music and earns you money when they do — even videos you didn't upload. Here's how it works and how to switch it on. Only opt in tracks you fully own.
What Content ID does
Content ID creates a digital fingerprint of your recording. When someone uploads a video using your song, YouTube matches it and can run ads on that video — sending a share of the revenue to you. It's a real, passive income stream for music that gets used in covers, edits and background audio. Your distributor registers your tracks with Content ID on your behalf.
Turn on Content ID with your release
When you distribute with Mazufa, you can opt your release into YouTube Content ID monetization, subject to eligibility and current terms, Fees and deductions follow the current plan and applicable agreement, keeping royalty treatment under the applicable agreement for what it earns. Important: only enable it for recordings you own outright (no uncleared samples or others' content), since Content ID claims usage as yours. Pair it with YouTube Music distribution.
