Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Typically the client will send me an audio file of the song and let me know the tempo. They will also include chord charts if needed and give me instruction as to what they would like on the track. I am more than happy to make up bass parts for your songs as well. I will then typically record the bass using two mics and send you the file of each mic so that you can blend them into your recording as you wish. I will then do any edits or re-recordings that you need until you are happy!
