I do a lot of club mixes for labels who then want radio edits in order to hit different markets. I'll usually just take the club mix and chop a bunch of stuff out to hit my target radio length/arrangement. This time however, I've started from a radio and they've requested a full club length mix after the fact.
I've started doing the club mix now, using a duplicated project file and have started doing mix tweaks. I haven't delivered the final mixes of either yet, and I'm wondering if there is any downside for me just maintaining one project file, but having the club mix AND the radio mix inside. Just leave a few bars between them or something to that effect.
This way, I don't have to worry about tweaking the mix here and there across both projects, and both arrangements stay in sync mixwise as I'm only using one project file.
Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of from anyone else who's done this?
Cheers,
Tim
