I really don't have the time and patience to startall over again. I think a great deal of one's ENJOYMENT in one'sproductivity comes from familiarity, and I've only incrementally addedto my working style since my first MIDI setup in 1991. I think, so far I've made a grand total of four vocal recordings, andthe method I used is relatively fast. Especially so when you considerI have literally taken years to develop some tunes. Also, forinstrumental work I usually record in one straight hit, controllingeverything from Rosegarden. The tune 'Lair Of The Dragon King' which Iput up on here some time ago uses this method and Rosegarden is incharge of all of the following in one session.
