Common questions
Do I need Premium to submit music?
No. Music submission is always free and separate. You just need an account. Premium unlocks your professional public Artist Page, which goes beyond a single Song Page.
What is an Artist Pulse Report?
A personalised intelligence report showing your trending rank, engagement breakdown, and a 30-day growth roadmap based on real Local Sounds platform data. Included monthly with your Premium subscription.
Who can run an Amplified Campaign?
Amplified is available after Local Sounds approves one of your music submissions. Both packages include 12 months of Premium access, including an unlocked Artist Page, so you do not need a separate paid subscription first.
Can I cancel my Premium subscription?
Yes, at any time. Your profile page will remain active until the end of your billing period.
How many releases can I add to my Artist Page?
As many as you like. Your profile grows with your discography. You can also highlight your latest release so it always sits at the top.
How does Fan Tipping work?
Fan Tipping is included with every Premium subscription. Fans can support you directly through a secure Stripe checkout on your Artist Page. Available to artists with an Australian bank account; setup takes about 5 minutes from your dashboard. Full payout details are available on the Tips page.
