HELLO

[ronnie35]

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, My question is on collaborating. I would love to do that but, I'm not sure how to do that on a tech point of view. I don't have much as far as gear goes . My mac, logic pro 9, key board guitars. What are some basic things I would need to send music to other Taxi members?

As you can see I am not that computer savey.
thanks, Ron

I'm not set up with home-recording gear, and yet I still benefit from having a Dropbox account - as a place to start to be able to easily send/receive/share music files: WAV, mp3, etc. That's one easy place to start. There are other file-swapping choices (i.e. We Transfer, and others).

Hope that helps.

Hey there.
All DAW's (logic, Pro tools, Cubase) work on WAV files. They can be imported straight into your DAW. Because they are large files, they won't fit on email, so you need to use platforms like Dropbox to share.

The techy stuff is two different things, Bit resolution, and sample rate. These are about the quality of your sound. (The higher they are, the better the sound) You need to ask who you're collaborating with; what is their bit res, and sample rate?

Typical bit res is from 44.100 KHz to 96.00. Many people work with 48.00 for recording. Sample rate can be 16, 24 or 32. 16 is too low for recording. Most people are happy with 24.

So to summerise; Use WAV files. Ask for bit resolution and sample rate.

Hope that helps

Exactly what Kit said here Ronnie. The only thing that I'd add to that is when you send your new wav file to your collaborator, you want to make sure that all the tracks start from the beginning of the session, measure 1, beat 1, so it is easy to line everything up. As an example, if you recorded 3 separate vocal tracks, 1 for V1, 1 for V2, and 1 for Ch 1, each of those takes would be on separate wav files, each starting from measure 1, beat 1. When your collaborator opens up the 3 wav files, they should all line up with his session in his DAW.
Hopefully that makes sense.
