Look below for necessary steps to deliver files.

 

GUIDE TO DELIVERING MULTITRACK FILES FOR MIXING:

1) Print your tracks DRY without any reverb, delay, etc. Avoid inline processing like compression and EQ as much as possible. Remember to turn off reverb and delay effects on VST instruments before printing them.

2) Do all of your editing including vocal comps, copying choruses, auto-tuning, etc.

3) CONSOLIDTATE all your tracks. All tracks should be bounced from the exact same starting point. Please attempt to keep stereo tracks stereo and mono tracks mono. (if you don't know how to do this just ask and we will guide you thru it)

4) Properly label your tracks! Don’t send me ‘track1.wav’, ‘track2.wav’. Label tracks appropriately like, ‘piano’, ‘snare’, ‘chorus vox hi’, ‘V. bkgnd vox’, ‘intro talk’, etc. so I don’t waste your time trying to figure out what is what.

5) Preferred format is WAV or Broadcast WAV, 24bits, 44.1kHz. If you tracked your song at only 16 bits, then keep it at 16 bits – do not convert. If you tracked your song at 48kHz, then keep it at 48kHz. I do not recommend 88.2 or 96kHz without discussing it with me first. 


6) Please include the following when delivering your tracks: A) the consolidated files. B) rough mix if you have one. C) A *.txt file with notes including the file format for the tracks, tempo, name and contact info for the engineer and/or producer, and anything else such as what was used to record, problem areas, ideas, influences, etc. 

 

7) ZIP all your files and upload them using www.wetransfer.com, www.sendspace.com (or a similar service) to jumbosoundsstudio@gmail.com. Alternative arrangements can be made for sending file data on DVD if necessary.
