A: Many different approaches depending on the client/artist. Usually starting with writing / co-writing a song, ensuring that the melody and lyrics are strong throughout. Once the song is demoed I then move on to tracking rough parts, replacing/finessing them as the song evolves. Mixing as the project progresses I work up to a stage where the song is then played on a variety of systems until the final master.
