Communicate the "Vibe": Share a reference track so your collaborator knows the energy you're chasing.
Stem Etiquette: When sending files, ensure they are dry (no reverb/delay unless it’s part of the sound) and labeled clearly (e.g., Lead_Vocals_Verse1.wav).
Deadlines: Be honest about your schedule. "I'll have it by Friday" is better than disappearing for two weeks!
