Narrative:
ATC clearance was received to cross ltown fix at 12000 ft on the wlder arrival to mem. We acknowledged. We had a few mins before we needed to start down. We were busy making radio calls with operations in mem and became distraction by call-backs and questions being asked. ATC called and asked about our altitude and we immediately started a rapid descent. We missed our crossing by 3000 ft.
