-- How To Hire And Send Tracks To A Pro Mixing Engineer --
You’ve saved up some cash and want to hire a mix engineer for your next project. You’ve always wanted to hire a professional mix engineer but feel a bit daunted about what to send to them and how the whole process works.
In this video, as well as recapping on some of the more obvious things, I go over some of the more forgotten considerations that will help you have more confidence when making first contact with an engineer.
Exporting your tracks from your DAW to send to a professional mixing engineer is fairly straightforward in of itself, but what other things do you need to send and what do you need to ask yourself about the different mixes you might need?
Every mixing engineer has their own requirements about the files you send them for mixing, things like naming, bit depth and sample rate and which service you use to send them.
This video will help both you and your mix engineer get the best possible result from your tracks without all the back and forth over email and avoid any misunderstandings along the way.
