Established etiquette for delivering raw tracks.
Haven?t done a lot of multi studio projects before, and was wondering if there was any established etiquette for delivery of tracks (Tape/Data).
Obviously all engineers involved in the project should speak before any recording starts, but the reason I?m asking is, that sometimes studio 1?s recording is done before studio 2 is even decided on.
Also let?s assume this would be cross platform, like Pre Production (Nuendo), Drum Tracking (Radar), Overdubs (Nuendo), and Mixing (Pro Tools).
You get the idea.
Thanks

Well put. Keep a .rtf/.txt file of notes. Tempo, takes etc.. If you think you don't need to write it down, write it down. There can never be too much info. Label everything clearly and 90% of potential problems will be avoided.cgarges wrote:Consolidated broadcast wav files with well-labeled media and track sheets are probably the most reliable cross-platform way to get stuff back and forth between studios.

The Grammy Association (with help from NARAS) has published a couple of documents relating to audio delivery standards, including the awesome "Recommendation for Delivery of Recorded Music Products".
Tracks sheets and album crediting standards are also on this page. Good stuff.

Does broadcast wav include the start time of the file? That would be nice. If not, make sure your damn tracks line up at 0:00. I'm mixing an album for this guy (he's using ableton and bouncing tracks to wav) and some of his tracks dont start at zero. Way annoying. Tries to get me to line them up and I make him re-send them.

Including once in this thread. But I didn't include a snarky bitch about how it's been posted in other threads before, so I guess mine doesn't count.@?,*???&? wrote:This has been posted at least 3 times before:

zero bounced tracks, well named... put the tempo in the title....
one thing that can be really helpful is to number the tracks as well as name them, so that they show up in the correct order... nothing like having an alphabetically ordered track list that takes 10 minutes to put into a proper console layout...
01_kick in
02_kick out
03_snare top
04_snare bottom
etc., etc., etc.... that way the console layout can stay consistent from studio to studio, and the logic of the original tracking can stay in tact... room mics should never come before snare....

Correct list
Is there somewhere we can look to see what this correct console layout list looks like. So that we can adapt it into use in our own sessions?
Thanks
