Naming your tracks

Giving your tracks the right name is very important when you give out your songs to a mixer. In one way it is quite easy, when you record your material, you need to give your track a name in your respective DAW and in general if you look up the files in your file browser, the files will have the same name you gave them in your DAW. But sometimes you have 2 tracks or files for the same instrument, this happens for 2 reasons, for different coloration/reverb/stereo image/natural reverb or when you are using the same instrument for overdubs.

Sometimes your DAW will add the track number to the file in the same order as the tracks were organized in your DAW. If this is not the case you can change the names of your files in your file browser.

Everybody has his or her own way of organizing tracks, but by numbering your tracks it's easier to group the tracks per instrument when we load your tracks in our DAW and then we can change the order of things to our convenience.
