Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Generally, the client sends me their demo, either with their band or just them with their voice and an instrument or just their voice, and that's where I start my work. In pre-production, I change some harmonies, melodies, and whatever else is necessary to take their song from being a good song to a VERY good song with the potential to be a hit. Then, in production, I choose the instruments that will be used, the synths, and so on. I compose the arrangements, record them, and send them for corrections. From then on, it depends on how many corrections the client has.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
