Free Vocals KIT’s utilize a file naming system that states the tempo, key signature, title, vocalists name, instrument, song structure and variation, separated by underscores. These elements are abbreviated to keep file names short and easily searchable.

Vocals, Bass, Drums, Electric Guitar, and Percussion are Vox, Bss, Drms, Egtr and Prc.

Ad_libs, Backing Vocals, Harmonies and Lead Vocals are Adl, Bv, Hrms and Le.

Bridge, Chorus, Verse one and Verse two are Bri, Cho, Ver1 and Ver2.

All sound recordings are 24 bit 44.1 kHz .wav files with a completely dry version (no post production) and some variations with effects such as compression, EQ and reverb (labelled with Fx)

Example:

128_Bb_Slow_Down_Sa_Vox_Cho_Le_D1.wav

128_Bb_Slow_Down_Sa_Vox_Cho_Le_D2.wav

128 = Tempo of 128 bpm

Bb = Key of B Flat

Slow_Down = KIT title

Sa = Vocalists name

Vox = Vocals

Cho = Chorus

Le = Lead Vocals

D1 = Double 1 (first recording of lead vocals)

D2 = Double 2 (second recording of lead vocals to give a stronger and fuller sound)

_ = Underscore to separate KIT elements

Example Project:

All in one:

128_Bb_Slow_Down_All.wav

128_Bb_Slow_Down_All_Fx.wav

128_Bb_Slow_Down_Inst_All_Fx.wav

128_Bb_Slow_Down_Sa_Vox_All_Fx.wav

128_Bb_Slow_Down_Sa_Vox_All.wav

Note: All in one tracks are intended as a guide and not to be mixed with the other layers.

For example, you shouldn’t mix the Vox_All with the Vox_Le (Lead) and Vox_Hrms (Harmonies). However, you could mix the Vox_All with the individual instrumental layers, if you don’t want control over mixing the individual vocal layers.
