Before you start editing your audio file, it’s a good idea to make a backup copy of the original file. This way, you can always revert back to the original if needed.
2. Basic Editing Techniques
DistroKid offers a range of basic editing tools that allow you to make simple adjustments to your audio file. You can trim the audio file, adjust the volume levels, and add fades at the beginning and end of the track.

3. Advanced Editing Options

Before applying any effects, it’s important to experiment with different settings to find the right balance. Be sure to listen to the track with and without the effects to determine what sounds best.
4. Checking for Errors
Once you have finished editing your audio file, it’s important to listen to the track in its entirety to check for any errors. Pay attention to any glitches, pops, or clicks that may have been introduced during the editing process.
If you notice any errors, go back and make the necessary adjustments. It’s always better to spend a little extra time perfecting your track than to release it with errors.
5. Exporting Your Edited Audio File
After you have finished editing your audio file, it’s time to export the edited version. DistroKid allows you to export your audio file in various formats, including MP3 and WAV.
When exporting your audio file, make sure to choose the format that is best suited for your needs. For example, if you are releasing your track on streaming platforms, MP3 may be the best option.
