My work flow simplified (setup wise) dramatically after switching to renoise (commercial, 49 euro): 1) start jack 2) start renoise :-) Besides that (and probably besides the point in this thread) I find it good to: 1) Try to make a full length arrangement as early in the process as possible. 2) Try to record vocals (or melody if instrumental) as early in the process as possible. 3) Work on more than one tune at the same time, so not start one and work on it until it's finished. 4) Go with the flow, esp regarding sounds and fx. Play around and get inspired instead of trying to force my pre conceived ideas upon the track all the time. 5) Be willing to write more tracks than I need, and be willing to throw stuff that's doesn't turn out away. 6) When working on a collection of tracks (like an entire CD) take time to listen to the entire CD from start to end (for me this happens mostly in my car). It's amazing how much the order of tracks can affect the conceived flow, including feel-good-ness of the whole. All the above is of course a balance. For instance 1) shouldn't be done before some kind of idea that can be sustained and/or expanded including the individual parts (verse, bridge, chorus, etc) emerge. But 1) is to avoid being stuck in a great sounding 2 bar loop that I'm not able to hear in the broader context of an entire composition. -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk http://virb.com/atte _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
