Question 3

A music publicist sends a pitch to 200 journalists and receives no responses. What is the most effective QA-driven first step?

Accepted Answer

Audit the pitch for relevance, personalization, and timing

Why should promotional audio snippets be quality-checked for loudness normalization before release?

Accepted Answer

Streaming platforms like Spotify and YouTube apply loudness normalization, so overly loud tracks may be reduced
