Hey, I wanted to know how to do a collab with someone? Someone wants to do a Dubstep collab with me from a different country and i just wanted to know how it works? Do i take one part of a song and he takes another?
Cheers
Dan

You send the track back and forth as in the project folder. For example if it's in reason you send the rns between each of you and add parts.

Yeah, there's no clear-way to do it.
You can both work on everything, or maybe one person do bass/synths while another does percussion... just how it works out really. Have fun with it.

Do a bit of work
Pass it to next dude
pass it back
pass it to the dude again
if you're wondering how.... if you arent using the exact same DAW and version need to read up on stems

the most common way besides trading project files is to pass along "stems" stems are each track or sound bounced down to its own audio file. the next guy can then take those stems put them right into his sequencer and play the song exactly how it sounded in the original project. most commonly you will bounce the entire sequence for the length of the tune and not into the lil loops but theoretically you can swap the lil loops and do arrangment last or later, but like i said the most common or imo best way is to bounce each track and or sound into its own audio file that plays for as long as you have it arranged.
