A: Before I begin mixing a song, I would have an initial conversation with the artist or producer that I'm working for to hear their ideas and inspirations behind the song so that I can always keep that at the top of my head while I'm mixing. I would also request for a commercially released industry reference track that may fit the vibe of their song so that I can be in the right ballpark.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
