Mix Delivery Guidelines
*** PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR LATEST ROUGH MIXES AS ‘.MP3’ FILES FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ***
*** REMOVE ALL PLUGINS FROM THE LEAD VOCAL ***
(if any plug in or effect processing is key to the songs production then please duplicate the track and remove all plugins as a backup for SAW. Name this track ‘Raw Vox’ )
If guitar + bass ''DI'' tracks were used to feed amp sims etc please provide these also.
IF BPM IS KNOWN - WRITE IN MAIN FOLDER NAME AFTER SONG TITLE
FOR EXAMPLE: ‘’HITS DI JOUR - 125BPM’’
What to do next:
-
Label all your tracks properly ( refer to my label system below )
-
Consolidate your tracks; each track should be the entire length of the song and they all need to start from the beginning of the session. This way when I import your multi-tracks into my session, they line up perfectly.
*If you are unclear on how to do this, there are a ton of YouTube tutorials.
