Formats
Every pack follows the same layout so that any DAW can open it without conversion.
Audio files
Stems are uncompressed WAV, 24-bit, at the sample rate of the original session (usually 48 kHz). All stems in a song start at the same point and have the same length, so they line up when placed at the start of a project.
File names
Names follow the pattern song_tempo_key_number_instrument.wav, for example nighttransit_96_Fm_07_subbass.wav. Songs recorded without a click use free in place of the tempo.
