What the brief looks like
When a track is finished, the client wants a set of files, not an mp3. The list usually includes the master, a backing, an a cappella, stems, and versions in different lengths and loudness targets. Every file needs a naming rule, a sample rate and a bit depth. The contract sets revision rounds and a delivery date. The more specific the list, the fewer disputes later. Archive the package too, because a request for the same version will come back months later.
Tool combination
Export from Ableton Live, Logic Pro or Pro Tools, master with Ozone and check true peak. Stems come from buses inside the session, not from running Demucs a second time. iZotope RX does a last noise check. A meter produces the loudness report. File list and licence notes live in a readme.
Steps
Copy the contracted deliverables into a checklist and confirm each line. Export the master and stems at one sample rate and bit depth. Check that stems sum to the master. Measure loudness, true peak and mono compatibility. Add backing, a cappella and shorter cuts. Fill metadata and credits. Write the readme with licence, revision rounds and contact details. Package, upload and record a checksum.
Acceptance criteria
File count and naming match the list exactly. Sample rate is 48 kHz and bit depth 24 bit, or as contracted. Stems sum to the master within 0.1 dB. Loudness and true peak meet the target and mono does not collapse. Metadata and credits are complete. Licence documents and readme sit in the same package, and the folder structure is clear once unzipped. Checksums can be verified. Delivery lands on or before the contracted date.
Common rework causes
A harmony layer is missing and the client cannot mix. Stems do not sum to the master. Naming is chaotic and versions are indistinguishable. The loudness is set for streaming and the client takes it to broadcast. No licence document is attached and legal blocks release. Revision rounds are undefined and the seventh pass is still in progress. Nothing is archived, so an old version cannot be found when the client asks.
Listen in the library
