Couple of big things for me. As Randy mentioned. Name all the tracks clearly and the audio files clearly so that there is no guess work. Also if your not using a track then either deselect it and hide it or just delete it from the session. I can't tell you how many sessions I get that have tracks muted or they get left un-muted and you spend time trying to figure out what in the hell someone was going for with that track.
Also if your using PT's then please do a Save Session Copy In and set it to copy ALL the audio files to a new clean session. I get so tired of opening sessions and not having files show up.
If you have something cool going on with the automation then make sure the mixer knows about it and doesn't delete it or print it to a new track with all the automation or cool effects you have come up with. Wouldn't hurt to leave the un-effected or automated track hidden in the session in case he want's to go back to it.
And my biggest pet peeve!!!! Don't ever print auto tune without having an un-tuned back up track somewhere in the session. I swear that I wonder if ANYONE at home actually knows how to use Auto tune. I wouldn't guess so judging from some of the tracks I have been given.
I don't think this all goes with tracking but if you think it through from tracking to handing it off then you won't have as much work to do to turn it over......
