When I completed effort on Equilibrium, which I also mentioned previously .. I made a very bad mistake at the last minute and didn’t even realize I had done it until after I submitted my music. TuneCore requires that mp3s be encoded in high quality, which makes sense!  but for previewing purposes and for promotional purposes, I had been encoding my music at a lower bitrate.. prior to uploading these tracks, I went through and re-encoded my files at the proper quality, as I’ve done many times before.

To my horror, after the music was submitted and I was previewing the newly encoded tracks in my car the next morning, I realized that I accidently enabled another drum track I had put together for one of the songs, rather than delete the drum track I simply muted it so that it wouldn’t come out in the encoded file and I wouldn’t lose the work incase I decided to go back to it at some point .. the result is that the song came out sounding like a huge mess!  I immediately wrote TuneCore support, and while I admittedly didn’t get a response for a couple of days, a very help guy by the name of Jake Smith jumped to the rescue and gave me a means to correct the problem before it was too late, he took the album out of “Finalized” status which let me re-upload a correct version and save myself a major embarassment.  He was even nice enough to provide a direct e-mail address so that I coulde let him know when it was ready to push out to the stores.

The moral of the story is that I should have previewed the work before submitting it, but I didn’t anticipate such trouble from simply re-encoding the files as I had done so many times before – stupid mistake!

Thanks again TuneCore!
