This is the final step.

Here, I’ll explain how to organize your well-recorded sources—and what information to include—when sending everything to a mixing engineer.

If I summarize it in one line first:

• Export your organized vocals and instrumental as WAV / 24-bit / 48 kHz,

  aligned from 00:00 and matched to the same length, then send them to your engineer.

• If your project is 44.1 kHz, export as 44.1 kHz / 24-bit as-is.

• Everything else is simply “good to know.” Add it gradually when you have time.

If you follow just this, you’re already in a good place for a standard mixing request.

1. File Format & Export — This Is the Minimum You Need

The most practical default is:

• Format: WAV
• Bit depth: 24-bit
• Sample rate: 48 kHz

If your entire project was done at 44.1 kHz,

don’t force it to 48 kHz—export as 44.1 kHz / 24-bit as-is.

Before exporting, confirm these two points one more time:
