Sharing projects

[Tana Edwards]

Hi, my brother recently acquired MX9 and wants to send a project to me so that I can add some guitar parts.(I also own MX9)
I'm sure there is a simple way of doing this but it's got these two computer newbies foxed. Tried sending zip in email but wouldn't work.
Can anybody help us?
Thanks so much.

Hi,

A simple way would be to mix down to stems and send the individual wav files
over wetransfer or a shared cloud drive.

There's a bunch of options like set to 0bd, remove automation etc. which you will need to
choose though.

Thanks for your reply. Will look in to that.

Hi Tana.

My first question would be why it didnt work exactly.
File size exceeding maximum allowed for the internet provider/email support perhaps. Or just a lack of understanding of the process, using zip files, etc. maybe?

There are several ways to do this, depending on how you desire to work.
IE: do you want to share the project, or just record a track to add to you project?
Are you producing, or co-producing? Etc.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response.
My knowledge of the process of creating and moving files is very patchy. I attached a compressed file of a project and attached it to an email and hit send. Hours later still allegedly sending so gave up.
My brother and I want to collaborate on songs for fun: he lays down a beat and sends it to me, then maybe I put some bass down and send it back etc
He did manage to send me a project but any changes I made I was unable to save due to a pop up message saying that the present application was already in use or something like that.
I am going to try wetransfer when I get some time.

Hi Tana,

I guess there will maybe be instances of you both using different plug-ins / vst's and the like.

This is something i'm doing with the guys in my "band".. we do encounter problems when someone
has used an effect that the other hasn't got. Generally i will send them my guitar tracks in the "wet"
condition (all fx pre-baked) so they are getting the sound that I am.

It's all good fun though
