• Opens the delivered files and sets up the session from scratch with his preferred way of routing tracks and organizing the session with folders
• Sets up his analog 2bus chain and explains the gain stage of his Pro Tools system
• Cleans up the low mids of the kick drum and adds a corner to the high pass filter for punch
• Adds width to the 808 bass with a Roland Dimension D
• Makes space for the bass drum and bass synths to coexist in the low end
• Creates a Kick/Snare Parallel bus for extra punch
• Creates a side-chained reverb using an EMT 250
• Checks the intention of the rough mix against his current mix
• Discusses when he uses clip gain versus compression
