Feels like bad karma. Petty. If I produce and mix a project I just hand in everything. The chances of the label having all my plugins (and summing box) are pretty small. If they want to use an outside mixer they'll usually tell me so I can prep the files for that mixer. They usually prefer a flat mix. No plugins, automation etc. If it's just a mixing gig, I send them the stereo master and keep the Pro Tools file. They already have the session from the Producer.

Then import just the audio tracks (don't need auxes and masters) from your mix session but don't include plugins, sends, volume automation etc. You then have a raw tracks master. Might want to keep the pans though.

I should get an intern to fix messes like that... In the meantime the clients I can't convince to record everything here I insist on bringing everything they can for me to prepare by hand. Seeing other people's mixing habits is more or less a freakshow to me...eeeewwwww is what I tend to say the most. |

Re: Engineer is giving my band information, IS IT THE TRUTH??
I'm talking about being on the receiving end of "burn and walk away".
To be utterly clear, I want from the client EVERYTHING THEY'VE GOT. And they should ask for everything as well from whoever they are working with. That includes whatever state of the working session file was current. Ideally, I will even have their computer's startup drive! Basically NO ONE other than a pro mixer knows how to prepare a session for mixing. They don't know when they are printing effects, printing trims, printing bad edits, nothing. They don't even have the ability to hear what they are doing. I have learned to assume total ignorance and incompetence and I have yet to be proven wrong. And to be clear to the OP, this does NOT mean I want someone else's mixing doodles. I'm saying I would want everything you sent to the other mixer (and possibly more, if you "simiplified" or "consolidated" anything for them). |

So you are saying that as a producer/engineer you're giving the clients final edits as consolidated audio and no session data. Which means that they have no means of changing anything without going through you. Then presumably the clients go to some other mixer to have them mixed. In that case I'd rather as a mixer to work with the producer directly. Or maybe you're saying as mixer you're giving them consolidated multitrack audio? Why would they want that...that's just another form of what they handed you. Are you talking about stems? Oh if you are both the producer and the mixer and you are giving them consolidated multitrack audio for safekeeping or something then I guess it makes vague sense. One hopes you have an excellent naming convention though (for scribble strips, Title Case Is The Best Standard!!!, BUT MANY IDIOTS USE ALL CAPS and a lot of other morons think they're cool using all lowercase). |
