Step-by-Step Guide

SoundCloud free account works — no Pro plan needed.

1

Upload Your Track to SoundCloud

Go to SoundCloud.com and create a free account. Upload your track as an MP3 or WAV. Give it a title, genre tag, and cover art — this adds to the atmosphere of the case file.

🎵 Recommended: Ambient, lo-fi, jazz noir, or cinematic instrumental tracks work best for case file scores.

2

Make the Track Public

On your track page, click Edit (pencil icon). Under Permissions, set the track to Public. Private tracks cannot be embedded on external websites.

🔓 Public = anyone with the link can listen. Required for embedding.

3

Enable App Playback

Still in the Permissions tab, toggle "Enable app playback" to ON. This is the critical setting — without it, SoundCloud blocks the track from playing on sdrumart.com.

⚠️ This is the step most people miss. If app playback is off, the embed won't work.

4

Copy and Share Your Track Link

On SoundCloud, click Share under your track, then Copy Link. Send that link to us and we'll handle the rest — embedding it into a case file page with a custom noir-styled player.

📋 The link should look like: soundcloud.com/yourname/track-title

Once your track is live and public, pick a feature tier:
