cross format collaboration....

[statas]

so, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for when you want to do a collab with someone else who uses a totally different sequencer/DAW?.. i mean, when you have zero shared software..

Exporting Tracks as .WAV files and sending them to each other is the only way I can think of =/

Bounce down reasonably high quality MP3 or WAV audio parts to approximate the sound until the very end, when the person doing the final mixing collects the WAVs of the tracks. MIDI files are always useful for drum parts, and if you have the same plugins (eg. free stuff) you can share presets. Don't bounce down whole tracks if you can avoid it; if there's a lot of repetition, just bounce loops. And again, MP3/WAV will save a LOT of time.

General MIDI would be the way to go... unless you're doing music that is more about production than arranging. then i guess you would have to send wav/mp3s

Yes I agree 100%, that's how Jivemaster and me did that sonic collab.

yeah. i was afraid of having to bounce down to audio (bandwidth/ filesize/ transfer rates). just seems like there is going to be a lot of time spent making slight changes and emailing variations over and over...
