02 \/ BUILD THE BACKBONE<\/p>\n\n\n

Give the riff a pulse.<\/h3>\n\n\n

Drum kits, patterns, and a playlist-first arrangement are at the heart of the workflow. Build the drums first\u2014or bring a riff and build around it.<\/p>\n\n\n

03 \/ MAKE IT A SONG<\/p>\n\n\n

Record. Mix. Finish.<\/h3>\n\n\n

The goal is a complete local song workflow: record guitar, bass, and vocals against the arrangement, shape the mix, and export a finished WAV.<\/p>\n\n\n

A song spine.
Room for your sound.<\/h3>\n\n\n
