Singles Before Album Release (The grayed out method)

Can someone help school me on the method behind uploading an album to Distrokid, but setting individual release dates for certain songs that will be released as singles before the album release date?

I’m really looking for having the album uploaded and having songs grayed out until their release date, but still have the entirety of the album details contained within the single album entry on any given streaming service.

I struggled with this during my previous album rollout and had to upload singles as their own release, then later take the ISRC code and paste it into the album entry, then delete the single entry afterwards. I absolutely loathe this look and want to do it right this time.

Any and all help is appreciated!

Put together some new boards for rehearsal last weekend to try some variations applicable for the studio, bigger shows, and smaller shows (and an excuse to wire a bunch of boards up lol).

Great sounds out of honestly… everything. May make some small swaps here and there, but there’s some distinct flavors going on between each board.

Cheers ✌🏼
