Step 1: Launching the SoundCloud App
Before we dive into the uploading process, make sure you have the SoundCloud app installed on your iOS device. If you haven't downloaded it yet, head to the App Store and get it installed. Once installed, tap on the SoundCloud app icon to launch it.
Step 2: Navigating to the Upload Screen
Once the app is launched, you will be greeted with the SoundCloud home screen. To access the upload screen, tap on the orange "+" button located at the bottom center of the screen. This will open up a menu with various options. From the menu, select "Upload a track."
Step 3: Choosing Your Track
Now, you'll be presented with a screen where you can choose the track you want to upload. Tap on the "Choose a track" button and browse through your device's music library to select the desired track. If it's not already on your device, make sure to import it into your iOS device's music library first.
Step 4: Adding Track Info and Artwork
After selecting your track, you'll be taken to the track information screen. Here, you can add important details such as the track's title, artist name, genre, and a captivating description. You can also choose to upload your own custom artwork or use the default thumbnail generated by SoundCloud.
Step 5: Selecting the Privacy Settings
Privacy matters, right? SoundCloud allows you to choose who can access your track. By default, tracks are set to "Public," meaning anyone can listen. But if you prefer a more limited audience, you can select "Private" or "Only me" depending on your preference.
Step 6: Uploading Your Track
Now that you've made all the necessary adjustments, it's time to share your musical masterpiece with the world! Simply tap on the "Upload" button, sit back, and enjoy the process. The length of time it takes to upload your track will depend on various factors such as file size and your internet connection speed.
