Has Soundcloud stopped accepting 24bit files?

Post by Drew Stephenson »

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this yet, there's a new prompt when you go to upload content to SC that offers a 'new upload experience' (don't bother, it's actually less clear) but it also looks like they've stopped accepting 24bit wav files.
Is this actually the case or is my set up just playing SBs?

(P.s. tried the support chat but it just routed me back around to the same two statements that don't actually help.)

My last intergalactic smash hit 'No Class' was uploaded no problems at 48k 24bit, only last week. It was 65Mb big, I didn't notice any performance issues, and it just dragged and dropped over from explorer as per usual. I didn't browse for it and find it that way, I always drag and drop. I'm always gob smacked how quick and seamless that process is - and it's right there ready to stream almost immediately. Then it's over to SubmitHub and total rejection time! :lol:

Yesterday was fine, today they have the new upload option and it was not fine. I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens.

Weird, tried it from this machine and it works. Most odd.
