When I am doing a simple Mixdown / Mastering job I like to work with stems. Optionally, you can also browse some tracks down as MIDI if the engineer / musician is doing more complex editing and rewriting of parts. It is very important that they name each track or sub bus in a way that is easy for me to know what it is. To do this I want the musician to bounce down each track. This means I want each instrument sound separately, and not just all the melody as one audio file. If that were the case I would want to have control over every individual part. Maybe change instrumentation, add deep processing and mixing. Let’s say I am working with someone that wants me to redo their track. Below we will look at the different methods. Each one is specifically for the needs of the project. There are two ways I work for producing with musicians and having them send me files of their project. We will first look at what our objective is and then doing it in each DAW. This article will look at the process of preparing stems and individual tracks for exporting to another DAW. I mainly like to work in Ableton Live and sometimes need a musician to send me bounced down the audio from their DAW of choice so I can use it in Ableton Live for mixing. I’ve worked with many different DAW’s in mixing. I have worked with many musicians on mixing and mastering their music.
