He takes the composition and arranges the song.
The word arrange means he chooses what instruments will go where [guitar, drums, strings, etc.] and directs the musicians to create the sound he wants.
After he arranges it, everything's sent to the mixer to mix vocals with the background track. (Usually Koji Morimoto. It was David Reitzas for a handful of Love songs tracks though)
