Re: Exporting Audio (WAV) for a Mixer
If there's processing in the Master Bus that might be necessary but I wouldn't recommend it if there's glue compression or shared parallel fx chains

Re: Exporting Audio (WAV) for a Mixer
Hey, I haven't used the commit feature much but would this capture volume? I know it captures clip gain and inserts.

Re: Exporting Audio (WAV) for a Mixer
Why would a mixer actually want the volume and pan settings from the rough mix??
FWIW: If I had a session that was so locked in that I didn’t really want a mixer to have a completely new look at it (which begs the question as to why I would then be sending it out to be mixed by someone else) i would certainly search out someone working in pro tools so he/she could just open my existing session. But when I get things to mix, I don’t really need volume or pan settings from the roughs.

Re: Exporting Audio (WAV) for a Mixer
If I were the mixer would definitely ask for the raw files. It’s like sending your mix to the mastering engineer maximized at 0dbFS.

Re: Exporting Audio (WAV) for a Mixer
Yeah forget the pan and volume, that's all part of the mix. If the mixer wants to check your choices then he'll listen to your rough mix.
Check all the fades and crossfades on the tracks. Check all edits such as comps, tuning, timing and such. Commit any EQ, processing which is core to the sound of the track, especially amp simulations for guitar and bass. That said, err on the side of caution and don't box the mixer in with over processing. Commit any virtual instruments. Consolidate all tracks to the full length. For example, if the song is 3:48 then make sure the final audio tracks are all 3:48 in length. Check with your mixer what file type is acceptable. 44.1/48 x 24 is pretty ubiquitous. So either convert from your consolidated tracks or else just send them a copy of the consolidated tracks. Hope that helps. Stephen

Re: Exporting Audio (WAV) for a Mixer
Not difficult at all: If you want all the automation/plugs/panning rendered, then select across all tracks and timeline and right-click to "commit" - choose "edit selection", check "consolidate clips", and render auto/panning if desired. After committing, select across the newly rendered tracks and shift-cmd-k to export desired clips to a new folder.
If you don't want panning/mono-to-stereo/auto/plugs, then just select across all tracks and timeline, shift-opt-3 to consolidate all edits, then shift-cmd-k to export the new files to a new folder.
