Using Cubase in conjunction with Ableton Live

[Meow]

Hey! I dunno if this will help but my brother uses Cubase and I use Ableton and I let him master my music and sometimes mix it and here's how I give it to him:

I basically just export out each individual track all the way from the start of the song and I do two versions of each, one with my FX and one with none (cause he asks for it like that) and that's pretty much it. I guess it's kind of silly because we live in the same house but if we didn't I'd probably make a text file or something with details and info on all the different elements.

I tried to find a way I could just like save the whole project to a file that would work in Cubase but I couldn't ever figure out if you could.

I also bought Reason with Christmas money and I do the same thing with it, just export each track from the start of the song.

But I'm not exactly super nerdy on this kind of stuff (I'm getting there!) so I might totally be missing an easier way.

yea i actually work with both open programs open on the same OS. I guess exporting would be the foolproof way, tho I wish I could just drag the .wav files from ableton into the library sidebar, but those files end up being .als and can't be opened by cubase.

Also if anyone could explain how the saves work... (I mean like when you save a file in cubase, where the audio samples and such are stored)
