This is probably a stupid question, but I don't know anything about Pro Tools or most DAWs:
My band recently recorded about 20 songs with a guy at a small basement studio, and the singer wants to have somebody else mix and master it. The tracks were captured on Pro Tools and rough mixed, but the person mastering it does not use Pro Tools and (I think) needs all the raw .wav tracks on a thumb drive or something.
What files do I need to ask him for? Do I ask him to "please export all the separate tracks to 24bit 44.1 khz wav format and put it on this thumb drive?" Will that work? What about any of the panning/eq settings? I guess we don't get that?
I don't even want to get into the fact that IMO it would really be easier for the same studio to mix and master it that recorded us in the first place. Do people usually do this sort of thing i.e. "please give us the raw tracks so we can take them to someone else?" BTW we did already pay in full for the recording time.
