When you buy a track on Your Ghost Production, you receive a downloadable ZIP pack containing the delivered files for that specific track.
The exact files included depend on what deliverables exist for that track. Not every track should be described as if it includes the exact same package in every situation. For standard non-legacy tracks, the delivered package is typically: mastered WAV, unmastered WAV, stems ZIP, and MIDI ZIP. For vocal tracks, the package also typically includes instrumental mastered and unmastered WAVs.
That is the practical answer.
The professional answer is that you are not only buying an audio preview. You are buying access to the delivered track package connected to that listing, under the rights and purchase terms shown or linked at the time of purchase. The files matter because they affect what you can do after buying: release the track, prepare distribution, request a new master, make edits, create performance versions, work with a vocalist, or build alternate versions where the delivered assets support that.
Before purchasing, you should check the track information, rights badge, vocal type, and listed deliverables. After purchase, you should download the ZIP from your account purchases, open it, check the contents, and back it up immediately.
After buying a track, you download it from your account purchases after payment is confirmed.
The verified YGP buying flow is simple: browse a track, add it to cart, complete checkout through Stripe, then download it from your account purchases after payment is confirmed.
This means your download is tied to your account and order status. Use the correct account when buying, and make sure the payment is completed properly. If checkout is interrupted or payment is not confirmed, the purchase may not be ready for download.
Once the order is confirmed, go to your account purchases and download the ZIP package for the track. Do this as soon as possible. A purchased track is an important release asset, and you should not wait until the last minute to download or inspect the files.
The ZIP package contains the delivered files for the track you purchased.
For standard non-legacy tracks, this is typically:
Mastered WAV
Unmastered WAV
Stems ZIP
MIDI ZIP
For vocal tracks, the package also typically includes:
Instrumental mastered WAV
Instrumental unmastered WAV
The word “typically” matters. The correct rule is not that every track always includes every possible file type. The correct rule is that the package contains the delivered files for that specific track, and what is included depends on what deliverables exist for that listing.
A serious buyer should check the listing and the downloaded package. If a file you expected is missing, or if something does not match the track, contact support with the order reference and track details.
A mastered WAV is usually the finished version of the track.
This is the file most buyers think of first because it represents the final listening version. It is the version prepared to sound finished, balanced, and ready for normal release use, assuming it meets your release plan and distributor requirements.
The mastered WAV can be useful for:
distribution upload
private review
label pitching
DJ testing
content preparation
final reference listening
approval before release
A mastered WAV is not the same as a compressed MP3 preview. It is a higher-quality audio file format intended for professional use. If you are preparing a serious release, you should normally work from the WAV files in your delivered package rather than from a preview or compressed reference.
Still, check the file after download. Play it from start to finish. Make sure it matches the track you bought. Listen for export issues, silence, glitches, clipping, wrong versions, or anything unexpected.
An unmastered WAV is a version of the track before the final mastering stage.
This can be useful if you want to send the track to your own mastering engineer, have a label handle mastering, or make final tonal and loudness adjustments before release.
Some buyers prefer to use the mastered WAV as delivered. Others may want a different master to fit a label, album, playlist, DJ set, or overall catalog sound. The unmastered WAV gives more flexibility because it has not been pushed through the same final mastering treatment.
An unmastered version can be useful for:
custom mastering
label mastering
album or EP consistency
broadcast or sync preparation
final loudness adjustments
tonal correction
mastering for different platforms
This does not mean every buyer needs to remaster the track. If the mastered WAV fits your release and the terms allow your intended use, you may not need extra mastering. But having the unmastered WAV can be valuable if you want a different final result.
Stems are separate audio groups exported from the full production.
A stems ZIP may contain grouped elements such as drums, bass, synths, vocals, effects, leads, pads, or other track parts, depending on how the producer exported them. The exact organization can vary by track and producer.
Stems are useful because they give you more control after purchase. Instead of working only with one full stereo file, you can adjust or rebuild parts of the track.
Stems can help with:
making extended mixes
creating radio edits
removing or lowering certain elements
building live versions
making DJ edits
adjusting vocal balance
creating instrumental sections
preparing alternate arrangements
sending the track to a mix engineer
making small changes without the full project file
For example, if you want a shorter intro, a longer outro, a cleaner breakdown, or a version with less vocal, stems may make that easier. If you want to create a performance version for your DJ sets, stems can also help.
Stems are not the same as a full DAW project file. They do not necessarily include every plugin, automation curve, instrument preset, or original session setup. Buyers should not assume project files are included unless that is specifically confirmed for the track.
MIDI files contain musical note information rather than finished audio.
A MIDI ZIP may include MIDI files for melodies, chords, basslines, or other musical parts, depending on what exists for the specific track. MIDI can be useful if you want to change musical elements after purchase.
MIDI can help with:
changing melodies
rebuilding chord parts
adjusting basslines
creating alternate drops
layering new sounds
working with a vocalist
making key changes where practical
creating live versions
adapting the track to another arrangement
MIDI is especially useful for producers or buyers who plan to customize the track. For example, if you want to replace a lead sound, add a new synth layer, or create a different version of the drop, MIDI gives you a cleaner starting point than trying to replay the notes by ear.
Like stems, MIDI does not mean you receive the original project file. It gives musical data, not the full production session.
For vocal tracks, the delivered package typically also includes instrumental mastered and unmastered WAVs.
This is useful because vocal tracks often need multiple versions.
An instrumental mastered WAV can be used for:
DJ sets
live performance
radio edits
content versions
sync-style edits
vocal-free promotion
alternate release versions
An instrumental unmastered WAV can be useful if you want to master an instrumental version separately or adjust it for a specific purpose.
Instrumental versions are important because vocals may not be needed in every context. You may want a vocal version for streaming and an instrumental version for performance. You may want to send an instrumental to a vocalist, editor, label, or content team. You may want a clean version for certain uses.
If you buy a vocal track, check the package carefully and confirm that the vocal and instrumental versions match what you expected.
Do not assume that you receive project files unless the specific track or purchase terms clearly say so.
A project file means the original DAW session, such as an Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, Cubase, or other production project. That is different from WAV files, stems, and MIDI.
The verified YGP context says buyers receive a downloadable ZIP pack containing the delivered files for that track. For standard non-legacy tracks, this typically includes mastered WAV, unmastered WAV, stems ZIP, and MIDI ZIP. It does not say every track includes project files.
This distinction matters.
A full project file can depend on specific software, plugins, sample libraries, third-party instruments, and licensing limitations. Even if a producer has the project file, it may not be practical or allowed to deliver it. Buyers should not plan their release around receiving the DAW session unless that is confirmed before purchase.
If you need a project file for a specific reason, ask before buying.
No. You should not assume every track includes the exact same files.
YGP’s verified rule is that the downloadable ZIP pack contains the delivered files for that track. What is included depends on what deliverables exist for that specific track.
Most standard non-legacy tracks typically follow the mastered WAV, unmastered WAV, stems ZIP, and MIDI ZIP structure. Vocal tracks also typically include instrumental mastered and unmastered WAVs. But legacy tracks, special listings, non-exclusive beats, older uploads, or track-specific cases may differ.
That is why the listing matters. Always check the track page and delivered package.
A professional buyer should avoid assumptions like:
Every track includes project files.
Every track includes identical stems.
Every MIDI ZIP includes every musical part.
Every vocal track has completely unique vocals.
Every track includes the same rights.
Every package is useful for every type of release.
The actual track package and purchase terms are what count.
You receive the files, but the rights are controlled by the track-specific rights badge and purchase terms.
File delivery and rights are connected, but they are not the same thing.
Receiving a WAV file does not automatically mean you own every copyright interest. Receiving stems does not automatically mean you can resell the track. Receiving MIDI does not automatically mean there are no restrictions. Receiving an instrumental version does not automatically mean you can use the vocal separately from the track.
On YGP, the site shows a rights badge per track, such as “Royalty-free / commercial-use track” or “Non-exclusive beat.” The practical intent in the current setup is that buyers can release and use the track commercially under their own brand or artist identity, per the purchase terms shown or linked on the site, including Customer Agreement, Terms, or FAQ at the time of purchase.
That is the correct way to think about it.
The files are what you download. The rights are what define how you can use them.
You may be able to release the mastered WAV as-is if the track fits your release plan and the purchase terms allow your intended use.
Many buyers purchase ghost produced tracks because they want music that is already close to release-ready. The mastered WAV is usually intended to serve as the final version. But you should still check everything before uploading it to a distributor.
Before release, review:
track title
artist name
metadata
rights badge
purchase terms
vocal source
AI disclosure if relevant
file quality
start and end points
loudness and master quality
whether you need a radio edit
whether you need a clean version
whether the label or distributor has special requirements
A ready-to-release track still needs proper release preparation. The file is only one part of the process.
You may be able to edit the track, depending on the delivered files and the purchase terms.
Stems and MIDI can make editing much easier. With stems, you can adjust arrangement and mix elements. With MIDI, you can change musical parts. With unmastered WAVs, you can remaster the track. With instrumental versions, you can prepare vocal-free edits.
Common edits include:
shorter radio edits
longer extended mixes
intro or outro changes
clean versions
instrumental versions
DJ edits
live performance versions
alternate masters
vocal level adjustments
arrangement tweaks
Before making major changes, check the terms. Some rights may allow normal release preparation and adaptation, while other uses may require caution. Do not assume that receiving stems means every possible derivative use or resale use is allowed.
After downloading the ZIP, open it and check the contents.
Do not leave this until your release deadline. If something is missing or broken, it is easier to solve early.
Check:
Does the ZIP open?
Do the files match the purchased track?
Does the mastered WAV play correctly?
Does the unmastered WAV play correctly?
Do the stems unzip correctly?
Do the MIDI files open?
Are instrumental versions included if expected?
Are the files named clearly enough to understand?
Is there any unexpected silence, distortion, glitching, or wrong version?
Is the file package complete based on the listing?
If something looks wrong, contact support with the track title, order reference, and a clear description of the issue.
There is no fixed “X days” download-expiry rule in the current YGP app logic.
Downloads stay available as long as the order is paid, not refunded, there is no active refund request pausing downloads, and the track remains in the expected sold state for delivery. The best practice is to download and back up immediately.
This is important.
Do not treat your account as your only backup. Once you buy the track, download the package and store it safely. Keep a copy on your main computer, an external drive, and a cloud backup if the release is important.
A purchased track may become part of your artist catalog, label schedule, or commercial project. Treat the files like master assets.
If something is missing, incorrect, broken, or unclear, contact support.
Useful information to include:
track title
order reference
account email
date of purchase
screenshot of the download area
screenshot or list of files received
description of what you expected
description of what is missing or broken
any error messages
Do not edit, rename, or rebuild the package before reporting the issue if you need support to investigate. Keep the original ZIP if possible.
YGP can moderate track information, but producers are responsible for accurate metadata and rights disclosures, and mistakes can happen. Users should contact support if they spot an issue.
The more specific your report is, the easier it is to check.
Do not assume every track includes the same files.
Do not assume project files are included.
Do not assume full copyright ownership unless the applicable agreement clearly says so.
Do not assume royalty-free means copyright-free.
Do not assume all vocals are unique unless the track information and rights support that.
Do not assume MIDI includes every musical element.
Do not assume stems are a full replacement for the original project.
Do not assume download access replaces your own backup.
Do not assume a track purchase guarantees label approval, playlist placement, streams, bookings, or sync opportunities.
The right mindset is simple: use the files professionally, follow the purchase terms, and check the package immediately.
The delivered package can support different stages of your release process.
The mastered WAV helps with the final release version.
The unmastered WAV gives flexibility for mastering.
The stems help with edits, performance versions, mix changes, and alternate arrangements.
The MIDI files help with musical adjustments.
Instrumental versions help with vocal-free releases, live use, content, and alternate versions.
Together, these files can give you more control than a simple one-file download. That is one reason professional ghost production packages are useful for serious buyers.
But the value of the package depends on how well you use it. A buyer who downloads the files, checks them, backs them up, and prepares a proper release is in a much better position than someone who buys a track and leaves the ZIP untouched until release day.
When you buy a track on Your Ghost Production, you receive a downloadable ZIP pack from your account purchases after payment is confirmed.
The ZIP contains the delivered files for that specific track. For standard non-legacy tracks, this is typically mastered WAV, unmastered WAV, stems ZIP, and MIDI ZIP. For vocal tracks, the package also typically includes instrumental mastered and unmastered WAVs.
The exact contents depend on the deliverables that exist for the specific listing. Always check the track page, the rights badge, the purchase terms, and the downloaded package.
After purchase, download the files immediately, open the ZIP, confirm the contents, and keep your own backup.
