Its a great way to give your artists extra exposure and start generating some extra income. We will only have 1 or 2 comps max per quarter on each label so it won&#8217;t be something that might be &#8220;abused&#8221; in any way.<\/p>\n<p>Once you opt-in, if you wish for a certain track to not be included you can un-select this option on a track by track basis within your system when setting it up for distribution, so you will remain in control of what can be included.<\/p>\n<p>To opt-in head to &#8220;Labels&#8221; > Select the label > Label Name, Details and Aliases > Distribution Options > tick the box &#8220;Make Tracks available for use in Label Engine compilations&#8221; (as seen on the attached image)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/label-engine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Distro-options.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/label-engine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Distro-options.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Distro options\" width=\"978\" height=\"199\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/label-engine.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Distro-options.jpg 978w, https:\/\/label-engine.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Distro-options-300x61.jpg 300w, https:\/\/label-engine.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Distro-options-500x101.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 978px) 100vw, 978px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>If you have any doubts or questions, feel free to email us at support(at)label-engine.com or hit us up on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Label_Engine\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/labelengine\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late in 2012 we announced the creation of our in-house label &#8220;We Are Electro&#8221; (original post here), the idea behind the label was to release compilations of 20 Electro tracks to help cross promote artists and generate extra revenue for the labels that decided to opt-in.
