Chime How To Collab [TUTORiAL]

Hey folks! Another tutorial here and more of an industry / outside-the-DAW kinda deal on how to collaborate smoothly and effectively with other artists from my 10 years of experience. I've also attached the presentation from the video as .pdf here if you want to look through.
