How do I label the tracks from my DAW?

When you label your tracks, it is important to always name the position in the arrangement with UPPERCASES, whilst instruments are labeled in lower cases.

White noise sweep - if you have a white noise sweeping from a synth, it is almost always labeled as an FX unless you use it as a hi-hat or cymbal. In that case, the track should be labeled as a drum.

Acoustic parts - If your production includes an acoustic part and plays chords (rhythmically, strumming, or picking), it should be labeled chord instrument (ci). If the acoustic part is a melody, it should be labeled “synth” (sy).

Riser - The synth effect of a riser can be treated in two ways. If the sound has a steady pitch either when it starts or ends then it should be labeled “synth” (sy). If there is no way of hearing a specific pitch, then it should be labeled as fx. 

Drum/FX - If you have a drum that is almost an FX, you can label it either way as these tracks are never transposed.

Percussion - Percussion should be a separated group from your drums, as these are usually tuned to the song and must be transposed with the rest of the track if a key change is needed.
