Best Way to Bounce/Create Mixdown

[shameusf]

Hi all,

I have, what I'm sure is a very simple and obvious problem. I'm finishing off a two year recording project over the next few days and will be sending it shortly to a good friend and professional engineer for his opinions on the fruits of my labours.

Can anyone tell me what the best way is to send these to him from my existing Protools 11 sessions? Should I be bouncing to disc, or creating some kind of master mixdown version of my tracks? And what is the best file format (using Protools 11) for this?

I remember 'back in the day' bouncing to disc as a different file format. Is that still the best way? I've also seen people use different ways of creating a superior audio master file.


Cheers muchly in advance. The back end of the recording process really isn't my area of expertise.
