I do all my music in FL Studio and my computer specs are far from decent.
When I get to the mixing stage I normally put the track all together from start to end and then I export it all using the split mixer tracks options. Once I have all the .wav files into a folder I open a new project in FL then import all the split tracks and begin mixing that way.
I'm not sure if this is considered 'the right way' but it's the only way I can mix down without any CPU overloads. But my question is, is there any advantages/disadvantages to mixing this way or is it better or more correct to do the mixing in the original project where the track was made? Not that I have an option right now anyway with the way my computer is but just for future reference once I upgrade.
Also, when I export the split tracks, can someone please list the settings I should be exporting with? Such as bit rate and other quality factors?
Lastly, I have another similar question. When it comes to the mastering process, should that be done with the final track exported into just 1 .wav / .mp3 file or should the mastering be done while the split tracks are all separate for each sound/instrument?
Any help here is much appreciated.
