2 Music Requirements

Ghost Producer World has built a solid reputation for its commitment to professional quality and high standards – and we plan to keep it that way. We put real effort into handpicking tracks that reflect our values and the level of excellence our platform stands for.

Originality

All submitted works must be 100% original and fully produced by the seller. Works previously sent to artists, labels, DJs, or any third parties are not accepted.

Uploading tracks that have already been shared on other ghost production platforms, websites, or social media is strictly prohibited. To maintain integrity and accuracy in our verification system, collaborations are not allowed.

Quality

Works listed for sale on our platform must meet both technical and commercial standards in terms of quality and structure. Each track should be fully finished, professionally mixed and mastered, and on par with top industry releases and playlists.

3 Upload Information

Name

The name of the work should creatively express and sell the work just like an original song would. We are selling finished, professional works - a strong, original title adds value, while generic, tag-based, or SEO-style names reduce it.

Follow these guidelines:

• Use Title Case.
• Choose an original song-style name, e.g., "Love Reigns".

Do not:

• Mention artists, labels, genres, or dates.
• Use double titles, e.g., "Get Over You (La La La)".
• Use tags or SEO-style names, e.g., "Hard Solid Groove".
• Use ALL CAPS (except for official abbreviations).

Genres

Select up to three genres that best describe your work. The first genre is the main one and may be displayed individually in certain sections, so choose it carefully.

Tags

Sellers can add up to three tags to better describe their works – for example, related labels, DJs, or artists. Tags should be used to describe the style, references, mood, or composition of the work.

Description

Write a short, commercial description of your work. The description must start with a capital letter, not use ALL CAPS, be written in English, and use correct spelling and grammar.

SEO Tips

• Use a clear and original name to increase your chances of being featured in Favorites and Premium.
• Add accurate tags that include relevant keywords such as labels, artists, or mood.

4 Tracks File Requirements

Required files summary

* Only if the track contains vocals (even a short cut or sample).
*** Selling is optional, uploading for verification is mandatory.

1. Extended Mix  Required

The main, full-length version of the track, designed for DJ sets. For four-on-the-floor genres, an intro and outro are mandatory. Deliver a remastered WAV 44.1 kHz / 24-bit and an MP3 320 kbps.

• Integrated loudness between -9 and -2 LUFS.
• Master true peak between 0 dB and -0.3 dB.

2. Extended Instrumental  Conditional *

Only needed if the track contains vocals — even a short cut, an ad-lib or a brief sample, buyers prefer a separate instrumental. Deliver a mastered WAV 44.1 kHz / 24-bit.

• Integrated loudness between -9 and -2 LUFS.
• Master true peak between 0 dB and -0.3 dB.

3. Extended Mixdown  Required

The non-remastered WAV 44.1 kHz / 24-bit for every extended version of the track.

• No plugins on the master output channel.
• All non-mastered mixdowns must share the same true peak level.
• That peak must be between -3 and -6 dB.

4. Radio Mix  Optional

A shorter radio-edit version. Deliver a mastered WAV 44.1 kHz / 24-bit and an MP3 320 kbps.

• Integrated loudness between -9 and -2 LUFS.
• Master true peak between 0 dB and -0.3 dB.

5. MIDI  Required

Include MIDI files for every melodic element used (bass, lead, pad, arpeggiator, synth, etc.). Name each file clearly — e.g. Arp.mid, Lead.mid, Bass.mid.

6. Stems  Required

Non-mastered, multitrack WAV 44.1 kHz / 24-bit stems, packed in a ZIP.

• Disable all plugins on the master channel when exporting.
• Render each stem for the full length of the track.
• No empty stems.
• Name each stem correctly — e.g. Kick.wav, Lead.wav, Bass.wav, HiHat1.wav, HiHat2.wav.

Always check your stems before uploading. After exporting, load them into a fresh project in your DAW: playing all stems together must sound identical to the non-mastered mixdown, with a master output level between -3 and -6 dB. Volume mismatch and incorrect stem exports are the most common mistakes — review your work before submitting.

7. Project File  Required ***

The complete original production project of the Extended Mix, with every element and setting. Supported DAWs: Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Studio One, Cubase.

Example upload

Here is how a correctly prepared upload should look:

GPW Uploader

If you prefer, use our uploader app: just drag your folder into the app (without the MP3 files). The app uploads everything and automatically generates the required MP3 files for you.

5 Creation Process

100% original only

Ghost Producer World accepts only tracks with 100% original melodies — composed from scratch, with no ready-made melodic samples. Our A&R team reviews every submission and rejects anything built on ready-made melodic samples. This is what lets us promise buyers a catalog of genuinely original music.

Vocal type

If your track contains vocals, you must clarify its origin:

• Non-exclusive: E.g., Splice or Loopcloud. Must include sample pack name and vendor license.
• Exclusive: You are the author, or you have a signed contract/license from a third-party vocalist granting full commercial rights transfer.
• AI-generated: Must provide the AI Provider (e.g., Suno) and a commercial-use license PDF.

Setup & Notes

Provide detailed information about your setup (OS, DAW version, main software/hardware). Use the Notes section to share insights about your creative decisions, which adds massive value for buyers looking to learn from your project file.

6 Selling Terms

Price

The work’s initial price is set in US dollars. GPW reserves the right to request a price revision if it appears inconsistent with the quality.

• Minimum price: $100
• Maximum price: $2,000

Prices must be rounded to the nearest 50 or 100 (e.g., $250 is allowed, but $249 is not).

Project file

You can choose whether or not to make the project file available for sale. Selling it adds an extra amount to your payment. Even if you choose "No", you must still upload it for our internal security verification.

Author attribution

You can decide whether your name appears in the credits as the composer/producer upon release. If you choose to remain anonymous, attribution is not required. This is irreversible after the sale.

Commission & Discounts

GPW commission depends on your producer level: it starts at 20% (you keep 80%) and improves as you level up — down to 15% (you keep 85%) at Legend. You can apply manual discounts of 15% after 1 month, and another 15% after 3 months. GPW may also run platform-wide Flash Sales.
