# 1. Preparing Audio Files

To prepare your audio files:

1. Get all the audio files for the song
2. Make sure you have uncompressed audio of the highest quality
3. Also get the mp3s of your audio files (320kbps recommended)
4. Gather any additional media files, like alternate mixes, video, visualizer and stems
5. Keep things organized!

Now that you have all the files for audio and video gathered, with uncompressed and compressed versions, you are ready for the next step!
