All saved recording ﬁles in the Spider Jam use a proprietary ﬁle format called JAM.

Each JAM ﬁle contains a Guitar track, a Mic/Aux/WAV track, and a track that contains

information regarding all the saved settings for that recording. To view your list of saved

recordings, navigate to the Recordings tab and turn the wheel. You’ll see a list like this:

Spider Jam also uses WAV ﬁles. All Mixdown ﬁles are 16 bit 44.1 mono WAV ﬁles. Every

ﬁle on your SD card.

A WAV ﬁle can be imported back into Spider Jam for overdubbing (it will play back on the

Mic/Aux/WAV track), or it can be copied to your computer for further recording, editing

and mixing in your DAW. When you import a WAV ﬁle from your SD card, you’ll see it

listed in Spider Jam’s display, along with other recordings you have stored on SD card.

You can also import WAV ﬁles created on your computer for playback and overdubbing

in Spider Jam. As mentioned above, each WAV ﬁle will play back on the Mic/Aux/WAV

track, leaving you an open Guitar track for overdubs. There are also ways to sync a WAV

ﬁle imported from SD card with a Spider Jam Drum track, as described on the next page.

Think of a JAM ﬁle as a folder. Within that folder are three ﬁles that make up each

recording. Storing them as one JAM ﬁle makes it a lot easier to keep track of all your ﬁles.

You’ll see the JAM ﬁle extension if you look at your ﬁle names on your computer.

WARNING: do not change the names of your JAM ﬁles on your computer. If you do,

they may not play back properly in the Spider Jam. To avoid issues, always name your ﬁles

in the Spider Jam when you ﬁrst save them. Try to stay within an 8 character limit.
