I tend to forget chords, setups and stuff, especially if it's kind of improvised, or tracks done on the spur of the moment. For instance, after some hours working on something I stumble on a riff. Then quickly I brew up some tracks, beats, melody. Recorded in Ardour and then put aside. 2 months later when I 'discover' the tracks and find that there's something good there, well, the chords, melodies and all are forgotten. I can bring them back, but it's extra work. Now I make it a point to write down all notes, at least. I pop up emacs and write tunings, notes (musical and info), tablatures. If I've quickly sampled a percussion and played it in a strange note I explain why. Etc. And then put it away. In Ardour I might have an empty Renoise track to make me think that hey, there's some Renoise stuff that goes along with this. So from this point of view, I wouldn't mind bringing up the Ardour tracks and everything else would also start configured - much like the Calf, or any other, plugins, for instance. It would be 'perhaps' nice if Ardour would have space to write text session notes. It's fine with emacs, though. My two cents. Cheers. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
