A: To start working I check my client's references in TIDAL HIFI, then I'm going to import the client's tracks into an evaluation template, here I evaluate if it is necessary to pass the tracks through the Trident console, clean, restore or tune, I take note of some creative ideas that you want to add to the song (creative fx, delays, reverb, transitions) that can bring to my client's song. I make the necessary corrections for the theme and then I export the files to my mix template, here the first thing I will do is configure my mixbus according to the song, I will start by taking a balance and adding the effects that I have taken as previous notes and from Here This is where the mixing process begins. Once everything is finished, I will do the mastering of the song the next day (the mastering is completely free, since I think it is part of my job as an engineer) and I will send the final work to the client for his first review, currently I do a maximum of 8 reviews which is usually more than enough, I try to do my best so that my client is satisfied and finds the sound they are looking for for their music.
