We work with the composer to get the music, rearrange and curate the selections when necessary, get it remastered for vinyl production and/or CD production to ensure it sounds as best as it can for the medium, review the handmade reference copies from our mastering partners, choose a theme and style approach as well as artist and layout designer for the printed aspects of the release (jacket art, interior sleeve art, center label art, bonuses and inserts), decide on a color that suits the theme or game details, check print and art design for errors or inconsistencies along with dev approvals when relevant and ready , print digital proofing once all art is confirmed, edits where needed for consistency, order print and have it sent to pressing facility for assembly, this usually is happening in tandem with music aspects to keep everything from slowing down, music is ready
