Uploading beats

Label beat files for upload and Autotag

Use clear beat names, BPM, key, and tagged/untagged labels so Trakroom can organize and Autotag your files correctly.

A clear filename makes uploads faster and helps Trakroom fill in useful track details before you publish.

Recommended filename information:

  • Beat name
  • BPM
  • Musical key
  • Tagged or untagged, when you keep both versions

Trakroom reads the file name when you drop a beat in and fills in the title, BPM and key for you. Put them in the name and you type less.

  • Angels 100bpm F#maj.wav becomes title Angels, 100 BPM, F# major
  • Lepa 98 BPM F minor.wav becomes Lepa, 98 BPM, F minor
  • Make It Out - Cheque x Blackbonez Trap Type beat 140bpm Cmin.wav keeps the whole title, dashes included, and pulls out 140 BPM and C minor

Tips:

  • Write BPM as 140bpm or 140 BPM, and the key as Cmin, C minor, F#maj or Gm.
  • Dashes ( - ) and bars ( | ) between words are kept in the title.
  • Don't put the genre in brackets, e.g. Kpako (Amapiano). The brackets are dropped and the genre becomes part of the title. Pick the genre on the upload form instead.
  • Nothing detected? You can still type the BPM and key yourself. Detection only fills in blanks.

Good examples:

  • Midnight Motion 102 BPM C minor untagged.wav
  • 102_Midnight-Motion_Cmin_untagged.wav
  • C minor - Midnight Motion - 102 BPM.wav
  • Midnight Motion 102BPM 5A.wav
  • Midnight Motion tagged.mp3
  • Midnight Motion untagged.wav

The order does not have to be exact. Spaces, underscores, hyphens, brackets, and common BPM/key notation are supported. A clear title plus one BPM value and one musical key produces the most reliable result. Trakroom understands named keys such as C minor, C min, F# major, and Camelot values such as 5A or 8B.

Tagged and untagged files:

  • Tagged means the public preview already contains your producer voice tag.
  • Untagged means the clean master does not contain a producer voice tag.
  • When a filename has no tagged or untagged label, Trakroom treats a file dropped into the Autotag workflow as untagged.
  • In Manual upload, place each file in its matching Tagged MP3, Untagged MP3, or Untagged WAV field. The upload field is the final source of truth.

What Autotag does:

  1. You provide one untagged lossless master in the Autotag workflow.
  2. Trakroom reads useful filename metadata and suggests the beat title, BPM, and key when it can identify them confidently.
  3. It creates a private 320kbps MP3 master from the lossless source.
  4. It generates a protected public preview using the producer tag preset you select.
  5. You can audition the generated preview before publishing.

Before publishing, listen to the generated preview and confirm the title, BPM, key, artwork, prices, and delivery files. Filename detection is a helpful starting point, but you remain in control of every field.

Best practice:
Keep one source folder per beat and use the same base name for every version. For example: Midnight Motion untagged.wav, Midnight Motion tagged.mp3, Midnight Motion stems.zip, and Midnight Motion artwork.png. This makes media-library reuse much easier and reduces accidental duplicate uploads.
