Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My typical work flow is pretty industry standard I start off by getting my levels sounding good and then my panning where I want everything to sit in the mix and then I go on to my compression and EQ, creating reverb busses and mix busses for drums, guitars, vocals and whatever other instruments are on the track, once I have everything sounding good I'll do some automation to give the track some life and character and then bounce the track down to a stereo file. Once I have that stereo file I'll upload it into a new session and begin my mastering process which consists of compression, EQ, saturation and limiting to get the song loud as possible without distorting.
