To the pro masterers here, how often are you asked to do everything including deciding the song order on a mastering job?
I would think that sometimes the song order is up to you, sometimes the artist (or producer) decides, and sometimes the artist/producer might know where they want certain songs but leaves the rest up to you?
When it's left up to you, how do you go about putting it together, let's say for a rock project. Do you take tempos into consideration, the keys of the songs, the mood??? Probably all of those? I'm also guessing that you'd approach an unkown act differently than a "name" artist"?
Just curious how the decision-making takes place when it comes to song order.
