A modern music production workflow

Step 1: Capture (don’t break flow)

Record the idea fast: a voice memo, a rough bounce, a chord note, or a link. Put it in one place.

Step 2: Decide the version

• Is this a demo, a single, or part of an EP?
• Pick a reference track for mix direction.
• Write the “definition of done” in plain language.

Step 3: Plan next actions (tiny, concrete)

Don’t plan the whole song. Plan the next 3–7 actions. Example: “rewrite chorus”, “replace kick”, “record final vocal”, “print stems”.

Step 4: Finish loop (iterate with checkpoints)

• Arrangement lock
• Vocal comp lock
• Mix pass 1 → mix pass 2
• Master / loudness check

Step 5: Release-ready exports

Export the deliverables you need (audio + metadata + artwork), so releasing is a simple handoff — even before distribution integrations are live.
