SP404 For Songwriters: File Structures, Guides, and Soundpacks

Thanks for your patience! Here are the files I'd like to share as a result of working on my year-long video essay on the 404. Buying this card is directly supporting my further study in the coming year.

There's a lot to unpack here. I wanted to share the file management templates so that you don't have to start from nothing. There's blank folders for you to start filling, samples for you to add to your card, construction projects for you to build your own sounds, and quite a bit more.

Library download is 7.18gb.
