Free Storage
By selling your tracks at AudioSparx, you'll get free
storage for
all of your precious audio files. As you may well know, master track .wav files can
easily take up hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes. We store your files for free and
perform rolling real-time off-site backups for maximum security of your files. Please
make sure to keep your own copies of your music files, AudioSparx is simply an
additional backup resource
YOU'RE IN CONTROL
You retain full ownership of your content. Configure your tracks with title, description,
keywords, etc. You can sell your tracks individually or in multi-track "soundpacks" (like production music
albums or mini-libraries). You can upload multiple related track edits (e.g. full track, 15/30/60 sec edits) and group them
together to appear as a unit on the site. You can configure one or more artists under your account if you have content
from multiple different sources. We make it easy with batch upload and batch edit capabilities, a pricing wizard, and
other helpful tools to maximize your control to configure your tracks to maximize searchability.
REAL-TIME MONITORING
You can run reports at any time to see how many plays and sales you have. We provide many
different reports and helpful information to help maximize your sales.
PERFORMANCE ROYALTIES
For musicians, we provide an optional publishing administration service. This saves you
from having to chase clients for cue sheet information, filing cue sheets, etc. Our publishing administration service is
entirely optional -- if you have your own publishing company and prefer to do the work yourself, that's 100% fine. AudioSparx
has an experienced and dedicated publishing administration group who has access to various information systems and tools
that individual artists and composers don't have access to. We can maximize your performance royalty earnings and help
to ensure you get paid in situations where otherwise you might not. Therefore, we highly recommend that you let us handle it for you.
OTHER COMMERCIAL MUSIC DEALS IN U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD
AudioSparx also licenses
music to multiple different external companies for use as commercial background music. The music is played in stores,
restaurants, malls, and many other types of commercial venues, as well as on-hold music for telephone systems.

after registering, and then you can sign in to your new account at AudioSparx. Please note that your account will work for all of our websites --
you don't have to register on each of the sites just to sign in to them if you wish to do so.
Submit One or More Artist Applications
After you sign in to the AudioSparx website, you will be at the Account Menu. There in the middle of the menu you will see an option to "Submit New Artist Application". Click that and proceed to review our license terms, then continue forward if you're okay with the license and then proceed to submit an artist application. If you have multiple artists you wish to monetize content for, you can submit multiple artist applications under the same login account and each artist will have their own separate artist profile screen, tracks, etc.
Upload Artist Graphic & Configure Artist Profile
After being accepted here, you will need to upload a high-quality graphic or photo
to your artist profile(s) and also configure the basic participation opportunities for the artist(s). This means you need to opt in or out of the
various services we provide to ensure that we include or exclude your music from various opportunities as as you desire. Please note that our staff
must review and approve the uploaded photo/graphic and once it has been approved, then you will be able to commence uploading and configuring
your tracks.
Upload Tracks
After the artist graphic has been reviewed and approved, then you would proceed to upload your tracks in high-resolution uncompressed format (i.e. WAV or AIFF). Once you get the hang of uploading individual tracks, then you can use our powerful batch upload and batch edit features to upload and edit multiple tracks at once.
Run Reports
You can run real time reports for any time period to see how many plays and sales your tracks are getting.
Get Paid
15 days after the end of each calendar quarter we will email you a commission report that details your earnings for the previous quarter, and then 45 days after the end of each quarter we send payment if your earned commissions are $25 or more. Otherwise your earnings continue to accumulate to the following quarter. We generally pay via PayPal although we do support other payment methods for countries where PayPal is not supported including Wise, Payoneer, and Crypto (USDT or Bitcoin).
Free to Participate Here
Participation at AudioSparx is always free, we do not charge any application fee or subscription fee to participate here!
20 Tracks Preferred
For new vendors licensing music, we prefer a minimum of 20 music tracks. For others licensing sound effects,
ringtones or beats and loops, we prefer a minimum of 50 tracks to participate here. However, please note that you can submit an
artist application with only three (3) tracks and then grow your catalog over time. We always consider quality before quantity,
and we realize that creating great tracks takes time. Don't rush the process, focus on quality, and bring us finished, ready-to-play
tracks that will inspire our professional clients.
Revenue-Sharing
AudioSparx will market your music, sound effects, loops and/or ringtones on our web sites and in industry channels. As money is earned from your content, you make money on a revenue-share basis.
Perpetual Commitment Required
At all times, you retain all copyright ownership to all of your tracks. However, to participate as a vendor at AudioSparx, we do require a perpetual license term commitment for each and every track you upload.
Why a Perpetual License?
The primary reason we require a perpetual license for participation at AudioSparx is to provide our
clients with a stable shopping platform where tracks do not suddenly and unexpectedly disappear due to a track takedown. It is not
uncommon for ad agencies and TV/Film production companies to take several months to make decisions about tracks they are considering
licensing for a big ad campaign or TV/Film production, hence, we can't have tracks suddenly becoming unavailable -- it makes us look
bad and creates a big problem for our professional clients. There are other reasons as well --
to learn more, see this article.
Non-Exclusive License
Your license to AudioSparx is a non-exclusive license, meaning that you can license your music to any third parties at any time and without negatively impacting your license to AudioSparx.
Upload and Configure Your Tracks
It's FREE to participate here! It just requires a bit of your time to upload and configure
your track settings. Fortunately, that is a one-time upload and configuration process and then the tracks will be online available
for licensing for the rest of your life! You are in control of, and in charge of managing your catalog here, and our staff handles
literally everything else including marketing, licensing, development, operations, support, publishing administration, and distribution
of your audio content. To learn more, see this article.
