Upload Quality
When I upload my music to Soundcloud the quality seems to get worse. Whenever I try to upload a song to Soundcloud the parts of the song are distorted, I checked if it was my headphones but the distortion is still there, especially with high hats, snares and sweep sounds. I tried converting my song to a WAV file so it's not as compressed. And that didn't work. So then I tried remastering my track, and that hardly helped. So I'm really confused, maybe it's just because Soundcloud doesn't have the highest quality for track uploading. But that doesn't mean I don't like Soundcloud, I just need some tips on making it so this doesn't happen.

My music does not get mastered with conventional techniques. Pure fractal synthesis straight from Sylenth1. The quality is alarmingly lower.

Hi there,
Some of our users are reaching out due to a degraded sound quality on mobile, and that can be caused by a bug on our end, but it sounds like this is not the case here. A good start might be this article to see if there is anything you can improve during the mixing & mastering process.
On a more general note, all of our uploads are rendered into 128kbps mp3 audio files for the purpose of streaming, i.e. the file does get compressed, which makes a slight loss in quality inevitable.
