Sending mix

[bonham1333]

Hey

I have a question, I am quite new into this and
I am sending my recordings today for first time to someone who
is about to mix it and I am a bit confused how to do this,
The mix is about 30 tracks and I have a lot of soundtoys plugins on the tracks, mostly
some delays,reverb that needs to follow. I thought about bouncing each track that has these plugins.. some are mono and some are stereo tracks, should I bounce the stereo as interleaved or multiple mono in the purpose of sending the tracks to the mixing engineer ?
Hopefully I am making myself clear :) ..also if there is some quick way of doing it, all help is appreciated.

Thanks

If someone else is mixing it then surely you should leave your tracks dry

Thanks for the answer..
There is no compression or eq or anything like that, I really want to give him as much freedom as possible. But I have
few stereo tracks with echoboy and crystalizer, plug'ins that pretty much makes the sound. But I am not sure if I should bounce them as interleaved or multiple mono, or is there some other way of doing it

I would ask the mixing engineer what he prefers. It really doesn't matter in terms of audio quality.

And you should print tracks with the plugins when they are vital to the sound.

Also, make sure to start printing/bouncing from the same spot for all tracks. It will make sync'ing a no-brainer for the people you collaborate with.

Yeah ,I'll print them and send him the whole session, makes sense :)
Thanks

Send the whole session, but include a mix with all your "special sauce" so he knows what to shoot for

I also think you should discuss this with your mixer as well as include a representative ruff mix with fx.

As a mixer I like to have both the special sauce track and the dry track.

Edit: I prefer to use interleaved files now.
