Step-by-step Guide:

1. From your BeatStars Studio, click the "Create" button and select "Create Album" to get started.
   You can also navigate to your Album section and click "+ Add Album".
   
   
   
2. On the "Basic Info" tab, you can change the information about your Album that will be visible on your Marketplace or Pro Page.
   
   
   
   • Artwork: Change the artwork by clicking 'Edit Artwork' to upload a file or create new artwork in Canva.
   • Title: Choose a name for your Album.
   • Type: Select the type of album you are uploading: Beat or Song.
   • Release Date: Schedule a future release date, or leave it as today's date for immediate release.

3. Finally, you can set the visibility of the Album: 
   • Private: if you only want your album to be visible to you.
   • Public: if you want your album to be visible to everyone on Marketplace & Pro Page.
   • Unlisted: if you want your album to be visible only to those you send the link to.
     
     
4. Click "Next Step" when you are finished.
