Episode show notes:

Have you ever asked your mixing engineer to send you the finished, mixed multitracks? 

Or did you try and export every single track after mixing, so you can use them for backing tracks, remixes, etc.?

Let's talk about which types of files you really need in the end.

 

The one thing everyone needs is the final mix/master of their song.

 

But what about stems, multitracks, etc.? 

What's the difference between those and what do I export or ask for when I want backing tracks for my live shows, for example?

 

In this episode, we give you the answers:

 

• Let's define stems and multitracks
• What do you need for live backing tracks?
• What do you need for potential remixes / remasters / collaborations?
• Why it is not always possible to export multitracks and why it's usually a waste of time anyway.
• Why are my stems not exactly the same as the mix, when I combine them?
• Why it is a good idea to talk about all of this in advance, so your mixer knows which final files you'll need. 

Let's go!
