Small Hours — original GarageBand arrangement

25.1793197279 seconds, stereo, 44.1 kHz, 24-bit PCM WAV.
An original MIDI composition rendered with GarageBand software instruments:
piano, guitar, bass, strings, vibraphone and drums. This is the first GarageBand
mix, without the later additional Ride and Air percussion part.
It is not a live recording of acoustic instruments.

Both MP3 versions were encoded directly from this unchanged WAV using
FFmpeg 7.1 / libmp3lame at constant bitrates of 128 and 320 kbps,
with gapless/Xing metadata. No separate EQ or remastering was applied.

The browser decodes both formats, matches average RMS level, applies a common
peak ceiling, and uses the same output path and full 25.1793-second duration.
It adds identical 5 ms start/end fades. No format-specific EQ or effects.
RMS matching compensates for the approximately 0.44 dB lower average level
of the 128 kbps encode; it does not guarantee identical perceived loudness.
Browser/device resampling and output processing may still occur. The player
does not certify a bit-perfect or lossless downstream connection.

The WAV has 1,110,408 stereo frames. Both decoded MP3s have the same frame count.
The supplied WAV is the first GarageBand master, preserved byte-for-byte.
The older scripts/generate-listening-samples.py creates the initial 12-second
synthetic prototype and does not reproduce this GarageBand recording.
