What are the recommended file specifications for Track Stem files?
We recommend uploading Track Stem files in 44.1 WAV, 24-bit or higher.
We do not recommend using 16-bit files for stems, as producers and engineers generally prefer higher-quality files for mixing and mastering. Higher bit depth can provide more flexibility during the production process.
