Consolidate? Export? Throw computer out the window?

Hi guys! Another question I'm sure is pretty basic. Here's my problem I got together with a few people and recorded a few songs at my apartment and I have all the multitracks saved on my computer. My friend would like to mix the songs. He also uses REAPER but I have some VST plugins he doesn't have. What would the easiest way for me to mix down all the separate tracks (possibly while rendering the effects) so I could give him all the audio so he could just mix them together? Thanks in advance, Scott

Since he also has Reaper you could simply copy the entire project to a thumb drive or CD. (Consolidate is handy for folks using different DAW's.) The only issue he will have when he opens in his Reaper is that he will get a notice that fx are missing. If you want your fx printed on his tracks, then double click the track header (to make sure you have all the track items selected if you did any splitting), then right click and choose "apply track FX to item as new take'. You can do this one at a time or with multiple tracks. Now save the project and copy to portable drive. The advantage of doing it this way is now there will be two takes on the track, one 'clean' and one with effects. He will still get the missing fx dialog and to stop that from coming up he just needs to open the fx browser and remove the missing fx(s) from the track.

Well he also uses Garageband too, would I consolidate it then? I guess the main problem I'm having is I would like the all the multitrack audio to be the same length. Since we recorded a lot of different vocal takes and chose the best lines out of 4 or 5 takes. When I consolidate I have a bunch of wav files that are like 20 seconds long. Is there a way I could get them to be the entire length of the song? So someone could just take the files put them into Garageband and have everything lined up? Thanks again!
