How do I download all stems as a ZIP?

The short answer

The ZIP option packages the four WAV downloads into one archive. It is convenient for moving the set into an audio project or keeping a complete practice session. A ZIP does not improve the sound of the stems or change their separation.

Try this workflow

  1. Finish a full split or a preview split.
  2. Choose the all-stems ZIP download.
  3. Extract the archive and check the four files before importing them.

What to check before you finish

Use a folder name that includes the song and whether it is a preview. This prevents a short preview from being mistaken for the full recording. Keep enough storage free because WAV stems can be much larger than the original compressed song.

A practical example

For moving stems into an editor, download the ZIP, extract it into a song-specific folder and import the four WAVs together at the same starting position. Play the original as a reference if needed. Keep preview and full-track folders separate, especially when their filenames look similar in a download list.

More questions

Does ZIP make WAV audio lower quality?

No. An archive packages files without turning their audio into a lossy format.

Is the ZIP a saved mixer project?

No. It contains the audio exports, not a complete editable session with every browser mixer setting and interaction stored for later restoration.
