    Hi Harrison. Thanks you for this helpful information! Quick question... when making mixes of a project, are they all included in the same purchase or are they sold separately if made for library music? Thanks in advance! Bill

    Hi, enjoyed the video, very helpful. I have a question with regards to alt mixes where you were muting/soloing different parts. Would you just mix down the full track for eg without the melody, or would you mute the melody then re arrange the track? I have a feeling if i muted say the melody of one of my tracks then exported it, it would lack any movement/momentum, hope that makes sense? Thanks in advance 👍

    Hey JP, the idea generally is to try to make sure every individual alt mix stands up as a track in itself. With that in mind though, obviously when lead parts are muted for a 'No Vocals/Lead Melodies Mix', for example, you'd expect the track may not move the same as the full mix.. but the intent of this is to make it more useful to editors.
