• 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

Export your files from Ableton Live

Export your files from Logic Pro X

Actually, I'd prefer another option.

​

There's a super-easy uploader built into the Contact page 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.
