Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My typical process when I receive a song for mixing begins with verifying all the needed files are available and where they need to be. If there is a reference track available I will listen to that several times while taking note of song key, tempo if those aren't provided. I generally will use the vocals as the main focal point to create a volume level mix before moving on to editing timing issue, and general noise (clicks, pops, loud breathes, etc). Once those boxes are check I use a combination of effects, EQ shaping, compression, reverbs, and delays to make an awesome mix.
