Well, it depends on what you want to achieve.

M y procedure is suited if you want to:
- keep the separate tracks (in the project) in order to archive.
- export all as wave, mp3 etc. into a single or multiple files.

Your procedure is suited if you want to
- discard all except the mix.
- save disc space.

Or haven't I understood you correctly?
It is certainly better to keep multiple tracks as long as you can,
especially for your workshop project.

Robert
