Josie (and others commenting on using an MP3), I want to clarify that when I said this:

"I also send them an MP3 of MY mix so if there is any question, they can hear exactly what I intended."

I did not mean that I intend them to use that track in the mix, for the timing reasons given by others. I only send .WAV files. The MP3 is only so if they did not understand where my trumpet was supposed to come in, for example, they can hear it clearly on my MP3. It's only a double-check and should not even be needed.

Hope that helps a little.
