Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I usually listen very carefully to the client brief as it is very important to understand that they have come with a vision and I have to align to that. Other than that when the songwriting is done i ask the vocalist to send me the vocals in the key and tempo that they initially decided after that as i m producing if the feel the tempo or key has to be changed sometimes to change the vibe a lil bit or to make sure the bass has balanced energy i make tweaks. Then as the production takes its shape i send out drafts and then take inputs and flesh out the whole thing. Eventually if i m mixing then i get the raw vocals from the artist and mix and master or else send out stems or session depending on what requirement the mix engineer is asking from me.
