File Preparation
General
• Remove all temporary or unwanted clips.
• Double-check all edits. Trim, fade, and crossfade until all tracks are free from audible edits and/or extraneous sounds.
• Optional: Apply timing correction and pitch correction to your liking
• Label each audio file descriptively, e.g. "Kick In", "Snare up", "Bass DI", "Main Vocal", "Low Harmony".
• Export individual WAV-files as 32bit-float with no change in sample-rate
• Zip all WAV files, and name the zip with:
• the artist name,
• the song title,
• BPM and key.
• Use the "upload files" button on the contact page to upload your zip
Keep only plugins that are essential to the sound, such as:
-MIDI / Virtual Instruments
-Amp simulation (if you're happy with the tone)
-Pitch correction tools, such as AutoTune, Melodyne or ReVoice
Bypass all other Plug Ins, such as:
-EQs, Filters
-Compressors / Limiters
-Expanders, Gates
-Reverbs, Delays, Chorus, Phasers, etc.
If a special effect (e.g. a certain delay) is important to your sound, export both a wet and a dry version of that channel (add 'wet' and 'dry' to the filenames)
Please follow these steps:
Export your files from Pro Tools (https://share.descript.com/view/1pGd7WGVtvV)
Export your files from Ableton Live (https://share.descript.com/view/vJlq5kkPJeL)
Export your files from Logic Pro X(https://share.descript.com/view/haGPacWJvXS)
Actually, I'd prefer another option.
There's a super-easy uploader built into the Contact p(https://www.mixartist.com.au/contact)age of this website. If you use my uploader, files synchronise automatically to my studio computer.
This means I spend less time managing files and more time mixing your songs.
Here's a brief explanation, you'll see it couldn't be easier.
