Data Format Guidelines

1. Raw Audio Data

Audio Format: All raw audio files should be in WAV format with a sample rate of 44.1kHz or higher.
Directory Structure:
- Each song should have its own directory inside data/raw/tracks/.
- Inside each song directory, include:
  - vocals.wav: Isolated vocals track.
  - drums.wav: Isolated drums track.
  - bass.wav: Isolated bass track.
  - mix.wav: The final mixed track.
  - etc...

2. Metadata

Format: JSON files.

Structure:

Each song should have a corresponding metadata file in data/raw/metadata/ named songname_metadata.json.
The JSON file should contain details about the applied effects, such as EQ settings, compression ratios, reverb parameters, etc.

Example structure:

{
  "vocals": {
    "eq": {"low_cut": 100, "high_cut": 10000},
    "compression": {"threshold": -20, "ratio": 4}
  },
  "drums": {
    "eq": {"low_cut": 50, "high_cut": 15000},
    "compression": {"threshold": -15, "ratio": 3}
  }
}
