hey everyone this is Mark from the wave shop today I'm gonna show you how to
bounce your individual tracks
as wav files and then prepare them for transferring this is useful when you're
working with someone who doesn't use the same DAW
as you do so from working in Pro Tools and another producers working in logic
I need to be able to send the files in the usable format so that he or she can
work with them
now in order to do that they all need to be the exact same length
we need to have an agreed-upon length before the start the song
in case it needs to line up to a grid so let me show you how to do that
the first thing and this is very important is to add cross fades
if you haven't already if we don't do this the files that we export
will probably contain pops and clicks so let me show you how to do that
let's go over here to our group menu click on the all group
now with the all group selected
I'm just scroll across here
and select all of the audio files in this song
says you see they're all selected right now that i'm gonna hit command F
this brings up a batch fayed's menu now we're gonna check the box that says
create new fades
and create new fate ins and outs to leave the adjusting existing fayed's
unchecked in case I have created some unique fayed's before this
will use five milliseconds then click OK
that creates any new fades so now we're sure that everything is cross faded
we won't have any unnecessary clicks and pops
so as you can see some of these tracks have an audio file that spans the length
of the song
but others have multiple audio files
within the track this is a composite track
so what we need to do is make it so that every single track
has one audio file that is the same link and starts at the same time
so here's how we'll do that when assuming here
using T
I'm gonna go to the beginning of the song
now what I like to do
you is turning on
mode over here
click one measure before the start of the song
middle zoom out with are hold SHIFT click at the end of the session
zoom in Center the end with the rare okie
and make sure that the end of this selection
matches near the end of the song
so we can see that I've selected all the audio on both ends
and when is your back out now here's the trick
this is called consolidate now one way to do it
is to go up to edits
consolidate clip but I like to do it with the
pro to a shortcut so many hit shift option 3
now it's Missy rendering
what it's doing right now is it's making audio files are the exact same length
that selection that I just made
so once that's done rendering it'll look like this in all your audio files
will be the same link on each track that's exactly what we wanted
here's how to do it if you're working in Logic Pro first make sure
you have all the cross fades applied to your audio files
then got to file export
all tracks as audio files
gonna create a new folder
titled way
is with the tempo
create and I'm gonna say format
as wave and 24-bit because that's what I work in
so it's
sporting the tracks now so all of them are the same length that's what we need
the rest of the process is the same for both Pro Tools
in logic sessions let's take a look at it so the next step in the process
is to locate these files in your hard drive
put them in a new folder and then compress the folder
minute command tab to open finder
I've got the session right here call Devin band makes
and if I open up this folder we can see within here
the audio files folder when open that up as well
this is actually really helpful that we have the date modified right here
because we can see when we created these audio files
so I know that I just consolidated these regions at 9:46 p.m.
so I know that from here to hear
are all the audio files that I just created
what I'm gonna do is right click
copy 18 items known going to create a new folder
and call this waves for Devin
band mix
within this folder or paste the audio files that we just created
now that all the audio files are within that folder when you go back one
and one thing that's always good to do is to put the temple
in the session file I'm gonna go to get info
and put dot 120 bpm
this helps whoever's receiving the file to know what to set their session
so now I'm going right click on this folder we just created
go down to compress
this will create a dot zip file this file
is the one that you would send over the Internet to whoever is receiving your
session
so if you're sending it to the wave shop to get your free mix that's the file you
choose
