Soonvibes.com is a service that caters for all artists, music lovers or professional who want to promote their tracks or discover new music. Tracks are evaluated blind, which means we do not know the track and artist before we rate it. Also the tracks are displayed in random order to maintain objectivity. An anti-cheat system is also in place to prevent fake ratings. The best tracks make it into the music charts which allows contact to be made with industry professionals (publishers, record labels, DJs, radio stations, etc).
Yes completely.
On Soonvibes, the number of listens is irrelevant, only the ratings and comments are
taken into account.
What's more, the tracks are only rated in a random way. So it's not possible to ask your friends or your fans to come
and rate your music.
Lastly, the tracks are rated "blind", meaning we do not know the artist's name before we rate the track.
We use around twenty criterias to identify the best tracks. For examples:
- "Like" / "Dislike"
- Add to favorites
- Add to playlists
- Comments and semantic analysis
- Shares
- Average listening duration
- Favorite tracks of users with badges "Verified artist" and "Talent Hunter"
- etc
We also use other criterias but we cannot reveal how works precisely our system. The most important thing is to boost
the feedbacks of your tracks to reach at less 50 listens (with likes / dislikes) to simplify the analysis and
detection.
Upload your tracks on Soonvibes and get feedback on them (ratings and
comments)
VERY IMPORTANT: you must boost your tracks with FEEDBACK or FEEDBACK+ options
(during the upload process) to receive quick feedbacks. With this options, you receive more feedbacks and then we can
discover you easily !
More infos about FEEDBACK and FEEDBACK+ here: http://www.soonvibes.com/en/offers/get-objective-feedback-your-tracks/
- WITHOUT VIBES: you can upload 1 track per week. You will receive
feedback on your tracks.
- WITH VIBES: you have unlimited uploads. You will receive feedback very fastly on your
tracks

The display order of the tracks is random. We always promote the tracks that have received fewer ratings.
We only display tracks in affinity with the ROOMs you selected in the blind rating.
The "playlist" brings together all the tracks you have added to your playlists, making
them accessible in your personal space.
The "favorites" is the fastest way to save a track for later on Soonvibes.
Some tracks are free to download.
It depends on each artist. When they put their tracks online, the artist decides whether their tracks will be free to
download or not.
When a track is not free to download, the artist is able to provide a paid download link to their music (e.g. iTunes,
Beatport, etc.).
It is important to understand that many artists display their tracks to collect feedback and improve and do not even
want to sell it.

Presentation of the Soonvibes Talent Pool is explained here:
Are you an artist or DJ? What are the benefits to become a verified artist? All the answers are just below:
We verify manually some artists. They have a "verified" label on their artist
profile.
We only do that for the best artists. We identify them via our Talent Pool selection, winners of contests, our charts,
etc...
When you are verified:
- your tracks are more visible (on home page, on dashboard for professionals, etc)
- you earn Vibes twice a month
- you have a badge on your profile
This feature is completely free and allows any music producer to test out their music
while maintaining anonymity.
Internet users rate and listen to the music without knowing the identity of the author and track. This function is
very useful if you want to experiment with new sounds without any apprehension... You can test out your tracks without
worrying about being criticised
You can disable the anonymous function at any time.
Simply log into MY TRACKS, or directly on your music page.
Simply log into MY TRACKS and click on the track edit icon or the delete symbol.
Maybe you registered as a "Music Lover" instead of "Artist". To change this, please send us an email and we will change your profile.
Yes you can upload all your tracks for free. There is no limit for the moment.
- You must be the owner of the music rights
- You must upload a complete track (so no audio loop, etc.)
- You must comply with the Soonvibes rules
If you activate FEEDBACK or FEEDBACK+ promotion your track is displayed within the blind rating app until it receives 50 ratings. Then it still displayed but with very low priority... You can re-boost it using the "FEEDBACK" function.
We display the original Mp3 file you uploaded on the desktop website. We display the mp3
128 kbps version on the mobile app.
It's VERY IMPORTANT to encode correctly your wav/aiff in mp3 version. (if not you will loose your
original quality).
For example, you can use Audacity, ffmpeg or CDex with Lame Mp3 encoder.
You can use the different promotional options we offer: FEEDBACK and FEEDBACK+
It must receive at least 30 ratings in order to appear in the charts.
For instance, to be displayed in the "3 last months" charts you must receive at less 30 rates in the 3 last months. If
you received only 28 rates in 3 months and 2 other rates more than 3 months ago, you won't be displayed in this charts
(but you will be visible in the "12 last months" charts).
In addition we don't display tracks uploaded less than 2 months ago.
At the moment this is not possible because they must rate the tracks randomly.
This allows all users to give ratings objectively and avoid friends to give non objective feedbacks.
The aim is therefore to receive objective scores without relying on friendship (since this distorts objectivity).
Friends can however write a review and share music tracks.
Every hour.
