Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Mixing/Mastering: While listening to the song I make notes to decide what to do on it. I keep working on it in cooperation with the client to get the best result.

Working on a first idea based on reference tracks the client sent me. Drop -> Break -> Intro/Outro -> mixing & mastering & GO!
