Session Delivery Guidelines

First, please include a copy of the current rough mix so I can ensure all parts made it over intact.

Pro Tools, Logic, or Reaper

If you're working in one of these DAWs, please send the session used for the most recent rough mix. Delete any unused tracks and audio. Print MIDI tracks to audio, and commit any instances of Auto-Tune or Melodyne. Leave all plugins, volume, panning, and automation exactly as they are.

Please freeze all tracks with plugins before sending the session. This step is essential to ensure everything plays back correctly.

Verify the session still sounds like the rough mix, and then Save As or Save A Copy to a new folder. Send the session as a .zip file.

All Other DAWs

Please send a single folder with all audio files to be mixed, exported from 0:00. Each track should be printed as a stereo stem, including all volume, panning, automation, plugins, and wet FX to match the rough mix as closely as possible.

If there are any group blends you’re happy with (e.g., violins, trumpets, BGVs), please print those as stereo stems with processing.

In addition to the fully processed tracks, it would be great to have an option of dry / unprocessed lead vocals if available.

Sessions can be sent via your preferred file sharing service. If you need additional space please let me know and I can generate a Dropbox file request.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
