Preparing your song for collaboration with another producer or for a mastering engineer

- At this point, I want to talk about…collaborating, or sharing your mix…in a couple of different scenarios.…Either handing it off to a mastering engineer,…or collaborating with a mix engineer.…In either case, before you export anything…you'll want to look at the sequencer…and set an end point.…You can also use the left and right locators.…

I'm going to use the endpoint.…You'll want to listen to your mix and watch your meters.…You'll want to make sure you leave…plenty of space after the end of the wave forms…to allow any reverbs, or delays,…or other effects to finish tailing off to silence.…You don't want to cut that off.…Once you've done that, you can go to the file menu…and if we were exporting our finished mastered mix,…that we're going to put on a CD, or on the internet,…or wherever it's going, we would export…the song as an audio file.…

But what I want to show you is…Bounce Mixer channels.…If you're going to hand your project…to a mastering engineer, you'll want to ask them…what they want, as far as files.…Because they might not simply want a stereo mix.…
