“Most of the producers I work with are decent mixers. We'll wind up in these spots where I'll get the mix back and I'll put a few more pieces of production together and send it back to the mixer. It's so easy to change the entire perspective of the song by changing the mix.” TogetherSongEasyPiecesWindPerspectiveProductionsProducersSpotsDecent Author:Yukimi Nagano
“Collaboration is being open to each other's ideas and benefiting from each other's perspectives in an open way. Collaboration is all about rewriting and rewriting and rewriting and helping each other to constantly improve a piece. And, it's also about spurring each other on to doing really great, hard work - it's easier to do it in a collaboration than on your own.” WayIdeasHardHelpingPiecesHard WorkPerspectiveEasierWorking ItCollaborationReally GreatHelping Each OtherRewriting Author:Alan Menken
“Even after rowing in all these pieces, it's often hard to determine who will be selected because the decisive factor in seat racing is speed not margin. Boat X beats boat Y by two lengths over 1000 meters in a time of 2:54. After exchanging "Dave" from X to Y for "Scott," Boat X beats boat Y by one length in a time of 2:51. From the rower's perspective, the result is that Dave beats Scott by a length. But in Mike's eyes, Scott beats Dave because on the second piece, X was three seconds faster-even though it only beat Y by a length.” TwoHardEyeThreeResultsPiecesPerspectiveBeatsDetermineSpeedFactorsBoatFasterSeatsLengthSecondsRacingMikeMarginsSelectedMeterRowingDaveExchanging Author:Chris Ahrens
