File preparation
how to prepare your files for a mixdown
General
1. Name each track simple but effective, for example:
DO NOT include the song title in the filenames
2. File format for audio tracks:
ask if you have different formats!
3. Stereo tracks only for:
4. Only consolidated audio files, exported from the very beginning of the corresponding project.
5. A standard midi file for each song, containing ALL midi informations incl. tempotrack (mastertrack) and marker track.
6. In case of fixed song speed, mention the BPM and signature.
7. Include a stereo roughmix for each title. mp3 will do.
When you export files, set the corresponding channel fader to 0dB, bypass all serial fx, set the channel to solo. In case you export a mono track from a stereo file, turn down the fader by -3dB to prevent clipping. Once all exports are complete, import everything into a blank project to check everything for clipping, missing files, empty tracks etc. This ensures you won't send over empty or corrupted files.
