Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Depends on the song. If I already have the vocal, I will normally start with that, find chords on the piano or guitar. Once I lay those down, then I add drums and produce the song out from there. If it is a songwriting job, I load up the beat and record, process, and mix my vocals. Or I can start something completely from scratch.
