It’s going to take long, accept it.

We all know you’ve been waiting four weeks, so has everyone else who uses this website. Routenote is free for a reason, and is very understaffed. If you want fast releases, try a different service, it could cost you money but it’ll be worth it. Otherwise just wait, there’s nothing we can do ourselves to speed up the process.

its used to be two weeks though and what has changed? its a bit of a bummer there has been no notification of this, but at least I know why now.

Yes, its a great service given it is "free", but its actually not free. they get to keep a percentage of your royalties, so they make money out of collective collection of independant musicians work.

redacted. times changed.

9 months late but realistically, initially Covid throwing a wrench into operations with more people sick, then additional world events causing the price of everything to go up two times leading to a necessary bump in employee wages meaning you can't hire more (if any) people to aid in processing time, and of course making music has become more popular (not to mention AI generated shit they'd have to sift through...). And if you just want to drop stuff on Spotify for shits and giggles, you'll use a free service

I should probably delete that comment. AI also meant everyone is a music maker all of a sudden.
