Release scheduling helps you prepare and publish music on a planned date. A clear schedule gives you enough time to review the release, coordinate promotion and correct any issues before delivery.

Choose the Release Date

Select the date on which the release should become available. Before confirming it, check that the audio, artwork, metadata and artist information are complete.

Allow Enough Preparation Time

  • Schedule the release well before the intended launch date.
  • Leave time for review, corrections and final approval.
  • Prepare promotional assets before the release becomes public.
  • Avoid last-minute changes whenever possible.

Verify Time and Regional Settings

Check the time zone and regional settings used by your Artist OS installation. These settings can affect how dates and scheduled actions are displayed.

Final Review Before Scheduling

  • Confirm the release type: Single, EP or Album.
  • Review all track titles and artist credits.
  • Check the track order for EPs and albums.
  • Verify the final master files.
  • Inspect the cover artwork.
  • Confirm the selected release date.

Changing a Scheduled Release

A scheduled release may be edited while it is still available for changes. Once it enters a final delivery or approval stage, some information may become locked. Review every change carefully before saving it.

Best Practices

  • Use a release calendar to prevent overlapping campaigns.
  • Keep the release date consistent across promotional materials.
  • Complete all required fields before scheduling.
  • Perform one final quality check after saving.

Next Step

After the release is scheduled, continue with the distribution and delivery process and monitor its status from the Release Management area.
