Workflow Suggestions
1) Spend some time assigning roles to producers based on skill level and areas of specialty.
​
2) Assign one project manager to help steer the ship.
3) Quickly transfer files between computers using either airdrop or a hard drive.
4) Leave time to do a quick master.
5) The 'open samples' folder contains a lot of great sound waves that work perfectly in sampler synths.
​
6) Do not second guess your decisions... Keep moving forward!
