There is an upload icon—a block with up arrow—in the menu bar at the top of a forum text entry window. The forum will not accept postings over 2MB. You can't post a book chapter.

Catskill Cows should come in about 1.9MB in stereo (two blue waves). If you have a mono track (one blue wave) that's fine. ACX recommends Mono for submissions.

You should post clean, unprocessed work. Don't adjust anything before Export. No filters, effects, adjustments, tuning, or processing unless otherwise told.
