Schedule beat releases on Airtune: a 2026 how-to

You can schedule beat releases on Airtune by giving a beat a future release date in Airtune Studio. The beat stays out of sight until that date, then goes live by itself. That lets you finish and upload beats when you have time, and release them on a steady plan. This page explains how it works, what you can and cannot schedule, and how it fits with YouTube.

In short

• Set a future release date in the track editor and the beat goes live on its own.
• Only beats can be scheduled. Packs and loops go live when you publish them.
• YouTube waits too: a scheduled beat’s video job starts only when the beat goes live.

How do you schedule beat releases on Airtune?

You schedule beat releases on Airtune from the track editor in Airtune Studio. Upload your WAV and stems once, and Airtune reads the BPM and key from the audio, makes a tagged preview for streaming and autosaves your work. Fill in the title, tags, cover and licences as usual.

Then choose when the beat goes out. You can publish it now, or pick a future release date. When that date comes, the beat goes live automatically. You do not need to be online, and nothing else needs to be clicked.

The track editor also lets you choose who can see a beat: public, unlisted or private. The pricing page lists “Schedule a release for later” among Studio features. Your plan’s beat limit still applies: Studio Starter allows 15 beats a month, and Lite, Studio and Pro have no monthly beat limit. See Airtune Studio plans for every limit.

1. Open Airtune Studio and start a new beat in the track editor.
2. Upload your WAV and stems, then add the title, tags and cover.
3. Set your licences and prices for the beat.
4. Pick a future release date instead of publishing now.
5. Save, and the beat goes live by itself on that date.

What can you schedule on Airtune, and what can’t you?

On Airtune you can schedule beats, but you cannot schedule packs or loops. A beat can be given a future release date and go live by itself. Sound kits, beat packs and single loops go live when you publish them, so plan those for the day you are free to post them.

This matters when you plan a launch. Say you want a beat and a matching drum kit out on the same day. You can schedule the beat ahead of time, but you will need to publish the kit yourself on the day.

YouTube is the other piece. Airtune’s automatic YouTube uploads can publish or schedule videos to your own channel. When a beat is scheduled on Airtune, its YouTube job is created only when the release actually goes live. So the video and the beat page come out together, and buyers who click from YouTube find a beat they can buy.

What happens on YouTube when a scheduled beat goes live?

When a scheduled beat goes live on Airtune, its YouTube upload can start then too. Airtune creates the YouTube job for a scheduled beat only when the release actually goes live, not before. So your type beat video never appears before the beat it links to.

Airtune’s YouTube sync builds the video from your cover and audio with a template, writes the title and description, and publishes it to your own channel. Airtune says the video is usually ready in under two minutes. YouTube sync is on every plan, with video quality of 1080p HD as standard and up to 4K on Studio Pro.

This makes scheduling useful for YouTube producers. You can prepare a week of beats in one sitting, set release dates, and let the beats and videos go out on their own days.

Tip: connect your YouTube channel in Studio before you schedule a batch, so every release can go straight to your channel on its date.

Why should producers schedule beat releases?

Producers schedule beat releases so they can make music when they feel creative and release it on a steady plan. Most producers make beats in bursts. Without scheduling, you either post everything at once or have to remember to post each beat by hand.

A steady plan helps buyers and followers. A rapper who finds you on a Monday knows there will be something new soon. Your YouTube channel and storefront look active, instead of going quiet for weeks after a busy weekend.

Scheduling also lets you plan around your life. You can upload ten beats before exams, travel or a wedding season and still release on time. It helps you test, too. Release different styles on different days, then see which ones sell. Our guide to selling beats online in India covers what else buyers look for in a store.

• Make in bursts, release steadily without posting by hand.
• Keep your store and channel active while you are busy.
• Line up beats and videos so they go out together.
• Test styles on different days and see what sells.

How often should you release beats?

How often you should release beats depends on how many good beats you can finish and on your plan’s limit. There is no single right number. A pace you can keep up for months is better than a burst followed by silence.

Many producers pick one to three release days a week and stick to them. Each release is a reason for followers to come back and for your YouTube channel to show something new. Quality matters more than volume: one strong beat a week beats five rushed ones.

Check your plan before you set a pace. On Studio Starter you can publish 15 beats a month and 2 hours of audio a year. Studio Lite and Studio have unlimited beats and 13 hours of audio a year. Studio Pro, which includes Legacy, has unlimited beats and audio. Plans and prices are on the Airtune pricing page.

The audio allowance counts the length of the audio you upload, not the file size. So longer beats use more of it than short ones.

Worked example. Say you are a producer in Delhi on Studio Starter. You finish 12 beats over one long weekend. You schedule three releases a week, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, for four weeks. That is 12 beats in the month, which fits inside Starter’s limit of 15 beats a month, with 3 to spare for a quick extra release.
