Best Practices for File Transfers

Please ZIP your files before sending and name the ZIP archive using the convention: ClientName_ProjectName_TodaysDate.zip
The date should be in the international YYYY-MM-DD format.

 

If you are sending a Pro Tools session, please do the following:

  • Make sure all edits are in place & all tracks are complete.
  • Commit all tracks (choosing ‘Make Inactive’ option for original tracks). This ensures I can hear your plugin chains.
  • Do a ‘Save As…’ making sure to include all media.

 

If You Are Sending Stems:

  • ONLY SEND STEMS IF WE HAVE ALREADY TALKED – 99% OF THE TIME INDIVIDUAL TRACKS ARE WHAT I NEED
  • Bounce/Render all stems as stereo tracks.
  • Make sure all Stems start at 00:00.
  • It is a good idea to leave a couple of seconds of silence before any sounds start.
  • Please name your Stems descriptively (e.g. Acoustic Guitars.wav, Vocals.wav, Drums.wav, etc.)
  • Broadcast waves are best, but regular wave files are acceptable.

 

If you are Sending Individual Tracks:

  • Bounce/Render/Export all tracks in their original stereo/mono format. Most should be mono.
  • Make sure all tracks start at 00:00.
  • It is a good idea to leave a couple of seconds of silence before any sounds start.
  • Please name your Tracks descriptively (e.g. acoustic_guitar-1.wav, vocal-1.wav, kick.wav, etc.)
  • Broadcast waves are best, but regular wave files are acceptable.
