The only other easy timesaver I can think of is something you probably already do - supplying consistent and sensible filenames plus a few notes about how you arrived at your rough mixes. I don't know how well it would work but it should at least save him having to drag and drop the wav files into a new project.
IanM5 wroteIt might be worth an experiment with AAF export/import. H says he prefers all tracks peak around -7dB. If you're so inclined, please feel free to point me in the right direction to the best method in Studio One. Otoh, I'd love to to know exactly how to get the levels right every time before sending them off to him. some or all of the changes I'd make would, in his eyes, either be unnecessary or downright destructive? he can do the same changes on his end, and 3. he's better at discerning when & how changes should be made, 2. My thought is, why make changes that he probably won't be able to undo when 1. I've never been comfortable changing levels before exporting. If you played to a click, the tempo information is very useful and will save time for him as well. A good mix engineer is going to level the tracks usually anyway and it could save time. Tracks that are a little lower could be brought up and then do a CtrL B (Command B) on them before exporting. Decide on a calibration level eg -18 dB FS = 0 dB VU. Apart from the percussive tracks you could run a VU meter over the other tracks one by one and check their rms (VU) levels. Something else that might help him too is making sure the rms levels of the tracks is consistent too. Raw audio tracks with no effects is a very good way to go though. I get the impression form your OP maybe there were not any midi tracks involved.
If there are midi tracks they can also be exported and included in the set of audio tracks you may send him too. Jemusic wroteUnwanted tracks can be useful for sure as long you are clear as to which ones they are.
