I also have a recording studio that I use to produce bands.

Before I was even playing the guitar, I would create these lists of how I would record things and overdub them, like Led Zeppelin song, 'I could put this guitar on this track...' and so on.

Engineering and mixing are absolutely key. Once a song is done, for me personally, it's usually two or three days to get the mix down.
