1. Gain staging</h3>
<div>
We often get tracks sent to us way to hot. As a rule of thumb you should aim for audio peaks at about -10dB. Transient heavy instruments (snare, tambourine, cowbell) might peak a bit higher, like -6dB.</div>
<div>
Any louder than that and we have to start with gaining down the tracks before start mixing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

</tbody></table>
<div>
All files should be named so it makes sense. A track called "Audio_05-03" does not make sense. There is no way for us to tell what the track contains. Label your track starting with a track number, followed by what instrument is represented on the track (and not the name of the person playing it).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Example:</div>
<div>
01-Kick</div>
<div>
02-Snare</div>

</tbody></table>
<div>
When you are recording your track you sometimes want to through on some plugins to make it sound more like the way you want the end result to sound. That's fine. I would recommend to use only stock plugins for this. That way you are sure that your mixing engineer has the same plugins. If you are using any other than standard stock plugins make sure to check with your mixing engineer if he or she has that particular plugin.</div>

</tbody></table>
<div>
It's always nice to have tracks color coded. Every mixer has it's own system for this, and there is no way for you to know how any particular mixing engineer wants it. </div>
<div>
So just choose one color for drums, one for bass, one for guitars ... and so on.</div>
<div>
My personal system is (obviously)</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Drums - Green</li>
<li>Bass - Red</li>
<li>Guitars - Blue</li>
<li>Keys - Purple</li>
<li>Strings - Orange</li>
<li>Horns - Brown</li>
<li>Vocals - Pink</li>
</ul>
</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Markers</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
Make sure you have your markers in place. That make things much faster for the mixing engineer. </div>
<div>
We usually want markers in this system:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Intro</li>
<li>Verse</li>
<li>Chorus</li>
<li>Vers2</li>
<li>Chorus2</li>
<li>Bridge</li>
<li>Chorus3</li>
</ol>
<div>
Obviously your song is not necessarily build just like this, but you get the idea.</div>

<h3>
7. Select unused</h3>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Select unused</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
Before sending your session you want to clean things up. When you record your song there are many snippets of sound that are not used. Those files are of no use when mixing and just takes up space witch makes the file bigger and slower to send.</div>
<div>
So make sure to delete anything that's not actually in the track.</div>
<div>
In the clips menu, go to "Select", then "Unused". Now every clip that's not used in the session is selected. Click "Delete" and make sure to delete the files, not just clear them.</div>
<div>
Now this will result in the files not used are actually deleted and gone forever. If you want to keep these files you should start with saving a copy of the session first, so that you only delete the files in the copy folder.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
8. Reference music</h3>
<div>
If you have any particular song you think would be great as a reference track, include it in the session.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Tips</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Always record a dry guitar/bass track. That way we have the option to re-amp if needed.</div>
<div>
Always record your music in at least 48kHz 24bit wav.</div>
<div>
Include the click track as a midi track.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<br />
<h3>
2. Turn off all effects</h3>
Always send tracks without processing. No eq or compressor and for the love of good music: <b>ABSOLUTELY NO REVERB!</b><br />
Only plugins or processing that should go on the track is anything that sets the overall character. Examples are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Amp simulations (always include the raw track)</li>
<li>Auto tune (or similar)</li>
<li>Virtual instruments</li>
<li>Very special effects that you are 100% sure about.</li>
</ul>

<h3>
5. Only send what's actually going on the song</h3>
If you have several takes on some instruments, or if you have a piano part you are not sure about. That decision is not ment for the mixing engineer to make. If you need help choosing what takes and parts are going to be on the song we can provide that service. But it's not included in the mixing price.<br />
<br />
<h3>

All tracks should be consolidated and start at zero. Even if the track only contains one single tambourine hit in the middle it should start at zero. This way it's very easy to import all tracks and know for sure everything is at the right place.<br />

<h3>
7. Exporting settings</h3>
We like to work with 48kHz 24bit files. For some reason many record their music in 44,1kHz. If so, send your files in 44,1kHz. Never under any circumstances record or export your music in 16bit. At least 24bit or 32bit floating point. There are just no reasons not to. And if you don't have an extremely good reason to record in 44,1kHz, Always record in at least 48kHz, more is fine too.<br />
And of course always export in WAV format.<br />
<br />
Export mono tracks to mono files. Only thing that really should be stereo tracks is keyboards and ... no, just keyboards.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
8. Raw mix</h3>
It's often helpful to get a raw mix of the track. That way it's easier for us to know in what direction to go. Include a raw mix as a stereo file along with the other tracks. Label it "Raw mix".<br />
<br />
<h3>
9. Reference music</h3>
If you have any particular song you think would be great as a reference track, include it with the rest of the tracks and label it "Reference".<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Tips</h3>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Always record a dry guitar/bass track. That way we have the option to re-amp if needed.</li>
<li>Always record your music in at least 48kHz 24bit wav.</li>
<li>Include the click track as a midi file with the tempo setting and markers.</li>
</ul>
