The image needs to be a minimum of 350px x 350px resolution in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format, and the mint fee in tokens in your wallet.
The image is an important part of your Audio NFT as it is the first impression your viewers see regarding your creativity and attention to extra detail on your image will definitely guarantee you extra dividends in the long run by putting your work in front of more viewers / listeners.

Soundkit: A sound kit (also known as a sample pack) is a collection of sounds intended for producers to use to produce music. For many producers they form as the backbone of their productions. The majority of the time, packs usually come as a themed package or genre specific. For example, you could make a pack consisting of only piano or strings samples, or a pack consisting simply of a different drum components: snares, kicks, hi-hats,etc. Sound kits provide an excellent way to both inspire creativity, jump start production ideas and provide some seriously good content of which you’re able to manipulate into whatever you want to fit your style.

Track Stems: Used for a musical arrangement of a single or a group of instruments to create a full track. For example, a percussion track that features drums only at a particular tempo, a bass track with a tempo and key, a synth track with tempo and key. Stems can be reused and remixed in different tracks, in countless ways. This is what makes them so popular and profitable for aspiring musicians. Other users will be able to use your track stems to build their own track by paying you royalties to use the stems you publish. Hence the importance of the Key and Tempo fields.
Speech: Have something you want to say? Speak your heart’s desire… and more. You can do anything… from conversations, poem reading, debating, opinions, ideas, jokes, confessions, your child’s first words, it’s all up to you.
Vocal: A musical vocal performance in the absence of any other musical instrument. You can upload your own vocals for others to join in, or duet with your favorite artist.
Sound FX: Sound FX are extremely important for conveying a message more powerful than words and establishing a setting or mood. They are not the icing on the cake, but an integral part of the cake’s batter. Some of the most popular sound effects genres are:
weather sound effects, vehicle sound effects, fire sound effects, comedic sound effects, electronic sound effects & ambience sound effects.
