A producer is starting a complex project with over 100 tracks, including live drums, multiple vocal layers, synths, and orchestral elements. What is the MOST effective initial step to ensure an efficient and manageable workflow throughout the project?
-
A
Record all MIDI parts first before tracking any audio.
-
B
Normalize every imported audio file to 0 dBFS to ensure consistent levels.
-
C
Create and color-code track groups and routing busses (e.g., Drums, Vocals, Synths).
-
D
Immediately apply a standard EQ and compressor plugin to every track.
