Send your track to a streamer for a review

A streamer's and chat's live reaction to your music, scores by clear criteria and a technical report on the sound — after every stream. Stream-Q brings together streamers from Twitch, VK Video Live and YouTube who listen to their viewers' tracks: pick the right one and send your track in a couple of clicks.

How it works

Five steps from a track to a review

01
Find a streamer
The “Live” block on the home page shows who is taking tracks right now. The streamer directory has a genre filter.
02
Prepare the file
Check loudness, peaks and file quality in the free analyzer, label the version, attach the lyrics.
03
Send the track
Through the stream page or the channel's Telegram bot: title, track type, genre and up to three things you want feedback on.
04
Follow the queue
The stream page shows your place and the approximate time. The bot messages you when you're next.
05
Get the report
After the stream — scores by criteria, the streamer's comment, judges' and chat votes, a sound analysis and the moment in the recording.

Finding

How to find a streamer who is listening to tracks right now

Directory and live streams

The home page shows channels taking tracks right now, with the first tracks in their queues. In Streamers you can search by name, filter by genre and show only those who are live.

Subscribe to a channel — the bot will notify you when the streamer goes live. The stream history on the channel page shows which tracks were played and how they were rated: that makes it easier to see whether the format suits you.

Track submission form: file or link, title, artist, categories — The track submission form on the website

Preparation

Prepare your track so the review is about the music

Overload, an MP3 upscale or five seconds of silence at the start pull the conversation into technicalities. Check the file in advance — it's free and takes a minute.

Loudness and peaks

Targets: around −14…−9 LUFS and a true peak of −1 dBTP or lower, zero clipping.

File quality

WAV/FLAC or MP3 320 kbps exported from the project. A WAV re-saved from an MP3 shows in the spectrum.

Title and lyrics

Label the version — “v2”, “demo” — and attach the lyrics for karaoke and the 18+ check.

Report

What you get after the stream

The report arrives as a link from the channel's bot and is kept in your profile. The technical analysis is measurements, not a neural network's opinion.

Scores by criteria

The final score is a weighted rating from the streamer and judges, plus scores for each criterion and a comment.

Judges and viewers

Each judge's scores, the average score of Telegram judges and chat votes — for reference.

Loudness and dynamics

Integrated, short-term max, LRA, PSR, PLR, per-channel true peak, the loudness curve and a histogram.

Comparison with the genre

The track's tonal balance against the genre range from Stream-Q tracks, with conclusions in plain words.

Tempo, key, quality

BPM, key with the Camelot code, real file quality and upscales, stereo and mono compatibility.

The moment in the recording

If the streamer added the stream recording, a button opens it right at your track.

Loudness and dynamics — like iZotope Insight

The same numbers professional meters show, with clear conclusions: for example, “the lows are 4 dB louder than typical for the genre” or “PLR dynamics of 6 LU — a dense master”.

You also see by how many decibels Spotify and other platforms will change the track's volume.

Technical feedback before the stream

A minute or two after upload the channel's bot sends a short summary: tempo, key, loudness, quality and up to three main notes. There's time to replace the file.

Version comparison

Sent a new version of the same song? The report shows what changed. Versions are recognized by sound, not by title.

Progress

Portfolio and charts

Portfolio

All your tracks from every channel in your profile: scores, loudness, peaks and how they changed, a score chart.

Charts and seasons

The best tracks of the week, month or past season. The “Artists” tab ranks artists by their three best tracks for the period.

Offline reviews and services

Can't make it to the stream? Order an offline review with a video reply, book a private session, mixing or mastering if the streamer offers them.

Bonuses

Notes — bonuses for activity

Notes are the site's bonus currency. Details, your balance and referral link are on the Notes page.

Earn them for tracks rated on streams, places in the top and friends you invite.
Spend them on promoting a track in “Discoveries of the week”, profile styling and skipping the queue — if the streamer allows it on their channel.
Notes can't be bought for money or withdrawn: they reward activity, they are not a means of payment.

Questions

Artists' frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to send a track?

Sign-up on Stream-Q is free. Most streamers take tracks for free within a per-stream limit, and a donation can move a track to the front of the queue — each streamer sets their own terms, shown above the submission form.

What format should I send?

Preferably a file: WAV, FLAC or MP3 320 kbps exported straight from the project. The sound analysis works on the file, and the streamer hears exactly what you sent. YouTube and SoundCloud links are downloaded automatically; links to streaming services are kept as links and aren't analyzed.

Who will hear my track?

A submitted track is heard by you, the streamer and the channel's subscribers. Without signing in, only the stream's best tracks are available.

Can I send a track without Telegram?

Yes, through the stream page on the website. Telegram is useful because the channel's bot sends technical feedback right after the analysis and a link to the report after the stream. For this to work with tracks sent from the website, link Telegram with the /connect command in the bot.

What if my track wasn't played in time?

If the streamer didn't get to it before the stream ended, the track stays unrated. The report on a played track and your full submission history are in your profile under “My tracks”.

What are Notes?

Notes are Stream-Q's bonus currency. You earn them for tracks rated on streams, places in the top, season wins and invited friends, and spend them on promotion in “Discoveries of the week”, profile styling and skipping the queue if the streamer allows it. Notes can't be bought or withdrawn. Balance and rules are on the /notes page.
