Question 13 of 24

File format of the stems you are sending

What arrives, not what goes back — your delivery format is a separate choice we settle at the end, and it can be WAV, AIFF, FLAC or ALAC at whatever bit depth and sample rate your release needs. For stems, send uncompressed 24-bit or higher: MP3 and AAC have already discarded detail that mixing cannot recover.

WAV (24-bit minimum, 44.1 / 48 kHz) AIFF (24-bit minimum, 44.1 / 48 kHz) FLAC or ALAC — lossless, compressed Other
