How to upload beats to Airbit

Before you upload

Get these files ready. You can attach them mid-flow on Airbit, but having everything in one folder lets you finish the upload in a few minutes rather than spending half an hour hunting for stems.

• Master WAV: 24-bit, 44.1 or 48 kHz. Sent to customers after a paid lease or exclusive.
• Tagged WAV or MP3: master with your producer tag laid over it. This is the preview every visitor hears.
• Stems .zip: drums, bass, melody, FX as separate files. Required if you plan to sell trackouts or stems-included licenses.
• Cover art: 1500x1500 PNG or JPG, square. Airbit displays it in the marketplace grid and on the embedded player. If you do not want to export a fresh 1500x1500 for every release, JDTB renders the Airbit cover (and the BeatStars, YouTube, SoundCloud, TikTok, and Reels variants) from one source image.
• Beat metadata: BPM, key, mood, genre, tags. Airbit treats most of these as filters, so wrong values mean buyers using filters never see your beat.

Step by step: uploading a beat to Airbit

1. Open the Airbit upload form

Log in, click the green Upload button in the top right, and choose Upload a Track. The form is single-page: every field is on one screen, which makes it faster than BeatStars but also easier to miss a required field.

2. Upload audio first

Drop the tagged preview into the audio drop zone. Airbit processes the file in the background while you fill out the rest of the form. Do not refresh the page during processing or you will need to re-upload.

3. Title and basic metadata

Title, BPM, and key are the three fields buyers filter by. Use the name producers actually search for: Lil Baby Type Beat - Movement will rank against searches for Lil Baby type beats; a name like untitled_v3 will not.

4. Mood, genre, and instruments

These are dropdowns. Pick the most specific genre that fits, not the broadest. Drill, Trap, and Hip Hop are different things in the filters, even if they overlap musically. Mood drives a separate set of filters; angry, dark, melodic, and chill all return very different results.

5. Tags

Airbit's tag input is comma-separated, unlike BeatStars. Type the tags as a comma-separated list and Airbit will split them on save. Aim for ten to fifteen tags, mixing artist tags ("Drake type beat"), genre tags ("trap"), and mood tags ("dark", "melodic"). Avoid duplicate variations; Drake type beat and drake type beat count as the same tag, but Drake-type-beat with dashes counts as a different one and will not match buyer searches.

6. Description

Use the description to tell the buyer what they are getting. List the three or four artists the beat fits, the tempo, and any unusual elements (live drums, vinyl samples, particular synths). The description is also indexed by Airbit search, so include the highest-volume tag word naturally.

7. Licensing

Airbit's licensing block is where most producers leave money on the table. The defaults are a Basic Lease (MP3), Premium Lease (WAV), and Trackouts (WAV plus stems). Set:

• Basic Lease: usually $20-$40. This is the entry-level price.
• Premium Lease: usually $40-$80. WAV master.
• Trackouts: usually $80-$200. Stems included. Only enable this if you actually have clean stems.
• Exclusive: usually $300-$1000+. The buyer removes the beat from the marketplace permanently. Negotiate higher than the listed price for serious buyers.

8. Cover art and release

Upload your 1500x1500 cover. Airbit lets you set a release date for scheduled drops; today publishes immediately. Click Save at the bottom. Airbit will validate the form, show errors inline if anything is missing, and publish the track once everything passes.

Things to know about Airbit specifically

1. There is no public API. Anything that claims to integrate with Airbit is using browser automation under the hood. That is not bad, just worth understanding when you evaluate tools.
2. Email signups convert better here than on BeatStars. Airbit has built-in marketing tools for collecting buyer emails in exchange for a free download. Use them. Producers who treat Airbit as just a marketplace miss the email-list benefit, which compounds over time more than any single sale.
3. The marketplace surface is smaller than BeatStars. That cuts both ways: less competition for the same search terms, but fewer total buyers in the room. Always upload to both.

The faster way: skip the Airbit upload form

Airbit on its own is fast enough. The cost is opportunity: producers who only use Airbit miss BeatStars buyers, YouTube discoverability, SoundCloud's native audience, and the social surfaces (TikTok, Instagram) where new buyers actually find new producers in 2026.

Airbit has no public upload API, so JDTB drives the Airbit upload form for you through our Chrome extension. You drop the master, the tagged preview, the stems, and a single source image into JDTB once. We render the 1500x1500 Airbit cover, fill in the title, BPM, key, genre, mood, comma-separated tags, and description, set the Basic, Premium, Trackouts, and Exclusive tiers from your defaults, attach the master and stems, and save, while fanning the same beat out to BeatStars, YouTube, SoundCloud, TikTok, and Instagram. The free tier covers ten uploads a month and includes Airbit.
