hi, i’m a recently full time musician/artist and i sell features pretty regularly. whenever i send over vocal stems, the only things i do are light vocal tuning and basic cleanup (noise reduction, pops and clicks, etc) i don’t do anything else because i want the person on the receiving end to have free reign to mix my vocal how they see fit in the song. personally if somebody sent me fully mixed vocals for a track i would be annoyed because it would force me to reverse engineer and make it fit my track.

however i’ve had a couple people seem a little annoyed/surprised when i send back unmixed vocals, so i’m wondering what is the agreed standard and etiquette for this type of thing? what are you all’s preferences when sending/receiving vocal tracks?

EDIT: wow this got downvoted to all hell everytime i post on reddit i remember why i usually don't LOL i was just curious about other people's preferences, thanks for everybody leaving really thoughtful opinions about it tho! i might just start including both whenever i'm sending vocals for now on just to be safe :)

hello everybody! so the other day i went to a thrift shop with my gf and she pointed out a weird looking device in one of the bins, low and behold it was a wacom pth-660 pro medium tablet for $15! i myself am a 3d artist so i decided to take a gamble on it and take it home, and i plugged it in and installed the drivers and it's fully functional, very exciting!

i use a incredibly cheap huion tablet, the pen obviously doesn't work on the wacom. i wanted to see if anybody here has this particular model and what options are available for compatible pens/styluses. i know maybe getting a wacom brand one is probably ideal, but i am not opposed to buying a third party one so long as it works ok on this particular tablet. the work i do is very rudimentary so i'm not pressed for something super ultra fancy. any suggestions would be cool! thank u!

EDIT: the model is the pth-660!!
