  1. 1BPM & Key: Found at the top — lock these into your DAW first.
  2. 2Structure: See the arrangement timeline (intro, drop, bridge, outro).
  3. 3Stems: Each stem shows the instrument, plugin guess, and confidence score.
  4. 4Plugin suggestions: Start with the highest-confidence picks and A/B alternatives.

  1. 1Use high-quality audio — compressed MP3s can hide subtle timbre details.
  2. 2Clean stems yield clearer results. Try soloing elements when possible.
  3. 3Check the confidence bar; anything above 85% is usually spot-on.
  4. 4Cross-reference similar plugins if your exact one is not listed.

Rebuilding in Your DAW

Turn a blueprint into a finished remake with this workflow.

Audio Quality Matters

Upload lossless WAV or high-bitrate MP3 for the most accurate stem separation and plugin detection.

Reference, Don't Copy

Blueprints are educational tools. Use them to study techniques, not to distribute cloned works.
