David Kim

"As a session guitarist, I'm recording for 10+ artists at any time. Mixvisor's client labels and status tracking help me remember which parts are approved, which need revisions, and what's ready to invoice."

The results

  • Clear tracking across 40+ active session projects

  • Custom workflow: Recording → Submitted → Revisions → Approved → Invoiced

  • Client labels for quick filtering and status updates

The solutions

  • Challenge

    Recording for multiple artists simultaneously meant constant context-switching. Which guitar part did Artist A approve? Did Artist B want the clean or overdriven take? Tracking revisions and knowing when to invoice became overwhelming.

  • Solution

    Mixvisor's client tagging and custom workflow (Recording → Submitted → Revisions → Approved → Invoiced) gives David instant visibility. Each project gets labeled with the artist name and song title, making it easy to track status across all clients.

Session Work, Organized

The Remote Session Grind

David records guitar and bass parts for artists all over the world. An artist sends a rough mix, David records multiple takes, sends back stems, waits for feedback, does revisions, and eventually gets approval. With 10-15 active clients at any time, keeping track of who wanted what became impossible.

Every Project is a Client

Each session recording is its own Logic or Pro Tools project. Before Mixvisor, David relied on folder names like “Artist Name - Song Title - v3 FINAL.” Now every project gets a proper label: artist name, song title, and instrument (guitar/bass/both).

A Status System That Makes Sense

Session work has a clear pipeline. David built a custom workflow in Mixvisor:

  • Recording: Actively tracking takes
  • Submitted: Sent to artist, awaiting feedback
  • Revisions: Artist requested changes
  • Approved: Final parts locked, ready to invoice
  • Invoiced: Payment sent, project closed

The Inbox Problem, Solved

When an artist emails “hey, can we change the chorus?”, David searches by artist name, pulls up the project, and sees it’s currently “Submitted.” He moves it to “Revisions,” reopens the session, and knows exactly where he left off.

Revenue Tracking

The “Approved” filter shows all completed sessions that haven’t been invoiced yet. At the end of the month, David reviews this list, sends invoices, and marks them “Invoiced.” No more forgetting to bill clients.

Take Management

David records multiple takes for every part. He keeps them all in the project, labeled in Mixvisor’s notes: “Take 1 - Clean, Take 2 - Slightly Overdriven, Take 3 - Artist Preferred.” When revisions come in, he knows exactly which version the artist approved.
