I don't have stems for my original song, can I still upload to it to my SKIO profile?
Yes, you can still upload your song to SKIO even if you don’t have stems for it.
My upload got stuck in processing or seems to have timed out, what should I do?
If your upload gets stuck in processing, you should try uploading the file again. If you continue to have problems, please contact SKIO support. Always make sure you have a strong internet connection and it is best to use a laptop or desktop, not a mobile device.
Should I upload every stem or can I pick the stems I want to upload?
It is recommended that you upload every stem to your original song to give other users more flexibility in creating their remixes. However, you can choose which stems you want to upload. You do not need to upload any stems to remix contests or to contest song submissions, but it is a good idea to always keep them backed up on your hard drive in case you win the contest the label asks you for them.
What file formats does SKIO support?
SKIO supports the following file formats: .wav, .aiff, .flac and mp3
Whats the difference between Public vs Private Sharing settings?
Public sharing means that your song is visible to all SKIO users, while private sharing means that your song is only visible to users you invite to view it.
