but maybe i shouldn't make a session at all, just bring plain audio files? is that right?
in that case, should i make 5.1 files, or (properly labeled) mono files? in the latter case, it will take an hour just to route everything  |
No...I often mix from stems. It's really dependent on what the producer wants. I've done, for instance, remixes where the dialog is being replaced by Spanish and then reseated into various stems. Often, I'll have several stems for music vocal backups (sometimes recut, sometimes not), SFX, music cuts and other stuff that may be on a track or two that needs to be added to the mix.
