Question 1

How does Mix Market work?

Accepted Answer

Artists upload their unmixed stems and set a budget. Verified mixing engineers from anywhere browse the catalog, download the stems, and submit their finished mix. The artist listens to every submission and only pays for the one they pick.

Question 2

How much does it cost to upload a song?

Accepted Answer

It's free to upload. You only pay when you choose a mix you love. The price you set is what the winning mixer receives (minus the platform fee).

Question 3

Who can listen to my unreleased song?

Accepted Answer

Only mixers who have verified their identity with BankID can view song details, hear the rough mix, or download stems. Your song is never public.

Question 4

What happens if no mixer submits a good mix?

Accepted Answer

You're under no obligation to buy. If none of the submissions meet your standard, you can leave the song open longer or take it down. You only pay when you pick a mix.

Question 5

How do I get paid as a mixer?

Accepted Answer

When an artist purchases your mix, the payout is processed automatically to your connected payout account. Payouts are handled through Stripe.

Question 6

Can mixers use my stems for anything else?

Accepted Answer

No. Every mixer signs a binding NDA before accessing stems and again on each download. The stems may only be used to produce a mix for submission on this platform. Breaches mean permanent suspension and legal action.

Question 7

What file formats do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Stems should be packed as a single .zip archive. We recommend uncompressed WAV files at the song's native sample rate. Rough mixes can be MP3 or WAV.

Question 8

Who owns the rights to the final mix?

Accepted Answer

Once you purchase a mix, you own the rights to use it commercially. The mixer keeps the right to credit the work in their portfolio (with your approval).

Question 9

How do I become a verified mixer?

Accepted Answer

Sign up as a mixer, then verify your identity with BankID from your dashboard. Verification is required before you can view songs or submit mixes.

Question 10

Is there a subscription fee?

Accepted Answer

No. Mix Market is free to use. The platform takes a small fee from each completed sale.
