+All seven files were resampled to 48 kHz stereo MP3. Tactical cues were silence-trimmed, equalized by role, and balanced to approximately -17.5 to -19 LUFS. The rain and fire recordings were reduced to stable excerpts, balanced near -25 LUFS, and rebuilt with a one-second end-to-start crossfade so repeated playback does not introduce a hard seam.
