What does the day look like?
About 30% of your day is spent on creative tasks: composing melodies, building chord progressions, programming drums, arranging song structures, and directing vocalists on pitch and emotional delivery. This technical execution happens inside digital audio workstations (DAWs) such as Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro, Avid Pro Tools, and FL Studio, utilizing plugins from FabFilter, Universal Audio, Soundtoys, and iZotope.
The remaining 70% is non-creative logistics and editing: vocal alignment, pitch correction in Celemony Melodyne or Antares Auto-Tune, bouncing rough mixes, exporting stems, handling client revisions, drafting split sheets, and emailing artists, managers, and A&R reps. Hours are irregular, with studio sessions frequently running from 14:00 until 03:00 or 04:00 at night. Weekend sessions are common, and album deadlines can demand 14-hour days followed by quiet periods spent finding clients.
