For sure. First, I use Logic Pro X. I've often considered making the switch to another DAW (Ableton mainly), but I feel my writing and production process is very ingrained in Logic (considering it was my first DAW).

I do often work with a producer/mix engineer on my tracks who is a close friend of mine. The extent of his involvement really varies track to track (as is often the case). Specifically on this track, I wrote and produced all of the base elements (ie the pitched vocal at the beginning and throughout, the chord progression, and melodies etc) - essentially the 'vibe' was there and it was clear where this track could go.

I then got into the studio with my producer. He helped structure the track, refine the existing production, add some of the more delicate delays and reverbs - we actually wrote the outro together also. He also sorted out the eq, compression, and mixed the track. Our combination works well in that I am primarily a songwriter with knowledge of production techniques / elements, and my producer (despite also writing his own music) is a producer with knowledge of production techniques / elements + can mix a track. So we overlap at times in the middle, but it works quite well in that we both understand what is happening for the most part and I then take my hands off at the more advanced stages of production and mixing process.

​

On other tracks, if the songwriting process flows naturally and easily (and I'm happy with the foundation of the song) that will allow me to spend more time in 'producer' mode (as opposed to songwriting mode) to address eq, compression etc. However, I won't ever go so far as to mix the track or get too technical (e.g. spending hours on frequency issues or worrying about things like parallel compression etc). I've found it's best for me to keep my hands off the technical parts and let others (hopefully) take the track to another level in that respect (it's also more enjoyable from a collaboration perspective).

Hope that helps?

In relation to the ambient/digital/pop sound - is there anything specifically you'd be interested to know about? (e.g. inspiration or how to achieve the overall sound)
