Day to Day

I come into work and get ready to do a recording session with an artist. For example, one day might be a couple of hip-hop artists or rappers recording three to four songs over a five hour session. A lot of times the artists will come in with pre-made instrumentals, which makes the workflow quicker and easier. I load up the instrumentals then send the artists into the booth to record. That's the tracking process. After that, I'll go into the mixing process and then finally the mastering process.

Advice for Getting Started

Here's the first step for everyone

Find an internship in audio engineering or production. I recommend going to studios with your resume to meet face-to-face with the people who work there rather than trying to reach out virtually.
