Robbie 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.
