Getting your label in the Top 10 labels will depend on a similar mechanic used by many other playlists in the music industry. Time + Sales = a place in our Top 10.

To start selling your tracks on our platform, you first need to create a virtual label. This label is not an official record label but serves as the name of your account, allowing customers to find your tracks. Please note that you cannot use the name of a famous artist, label, or company, nor a name that resembles them, including VST/FX brands.
Creating your own virtual label on House of Tracks is the first step toward selling your music professionally. It helps you establish a recognizable brand and connect with buyers looking for high-quality tracks.

Working with multiple producers under a single label is not allowed. This is because the label owner is ultimately responsible for all content released under the label. Becoming a record label requires a deep understanding of music distribution, branding, and legal responsibilities—ensuring that every track meets industry standards. At House of Tracks, we provide the tools and expertise to help you navigate the complexities of label ownership, from curating exclusive releases to managing artist relationships. Learn more about our platform and how we support aspiring label owners on our About Us page.

If any issues arise with the content offered by a label, we may need to take action by temporarily removing all content until the issues are resolved. Protect the integrity of the music industry by reporting any fraudulent activity or abuse on our platform—your vigilance helps us maintain a secure marketplace for artists and buyers alike. For more insights into our commitment to transparency and quality, visit our About Us page.

In rare cases where the issues cannot be resolved, we will permanently ban the label from our platform. Allowing multiple producers to work under one label could create complications, especially for those who are not involved in the issues leading to the ban.

When uploading a track, a simple MP3 file won’t suffice. You will need to provide three folders: a master folder, a stem folder, and a MIDI folder. Additionally, a preview of the track in MP3 format is required. Ensuring your track meets House of Tracks' Upload Requirements is crucial for a seamless submission process. By including a master, stem, and MIDI folder, along with a high-quality MP3 preview, you enhance your track’s visibility and marketability.

The master folder should contain the mixdown and mastered version of the track. If the track includes vocals, you should also provide a mastered instrumental version and an instrumental mixdown. Following House of Tracks' Upload Requirements ensures a smooth submission process. Properly formatted mixdowns and mastered versions increase your chances of selling your music successfully.

The stem folder should contain all individual elements of the track as separate stems, delivered in WAV format. Meeting the correct Upload Requirements is essential for a seamless submission process. From properly formatted WAV stems to high-quality mastering, every detail matters in maintaining industry standards.

Uploading high-quality artwork is a great way to make your label stand out. Ensure that all artwork is in JPEG format with a resolution of 320x320 pixels.

Well-designed artwork enhances brand recognition among potential buyers and leaves a lasting impression, which can positively impact your sales.

You can’t use all samples, even if they are royalty-free. The only samples you can use are one-shots and top-loops, as long as they are royalty-free. Ensuring originality in music production is crucial. At House of Tracks, we uphold the highest standards by allowing only royalty-free one-shots and top-loops, protecting both producers and buyers from potential copyright issues. For more insights into our commitment to quality and authenticity, visit our About Us page.

When using top loops, ensure they are only used to enhance your main drums. All melodic elements of a track should be composed by the producer. Therefore, using MIDI packs is strictly prohibited.

All tracks you upload to our platform must be 100% original. This means remixes and samples from existing tracks are not allowed.

Additionally, tracks uploaded to House of Tracks must remain exclusive to our platform. If a track has been previously published online or performed live, it is no longer eligible for sale on House of Tracks.

Violating these rules will result in a permanent ban from our platform. Maintaining originality in music production is essential, and we enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy on unauthorized sample packs to protect both producers and buyers.

No, you cannot sell other people's tracks. Every track you upload must be your own.
