Wrote a DAW manual once, does that count?

Chuck, I'd say your nuts have compensated quite nicely given that good
looking family of yours.

I couldn't agree with this sentiment more.
For the last few years I've been mucking about with my music, creating very
little, largely because of the sound of this or that not being up to scratch.
Or some production issue or another.
Recently I've found a whole new way of working. It voilates half of my "It's
all about the sound" ideas and comes back to the basics of putting down a
song, as quickly as possible, while the energy for that song is there and
fresh. I've set up a whole bunch of my favourite sounds, which could still
be tweaked, but I'm focussing on using them, not tweaking. I've got a Digitech
GNX-4 which I use in loop mode to do the basic recording (not Paris). Once
I have a bunch of loops all prepared I can simply switch the wav files over
to Paris, drop them in an order I like and the song is done. I then add vocals
very quickly and move on to another song.
So far I've only done one tune, but it was last week, and it worked, and
worked well for mine. I had fun, I like the product, and the sound is not
too shabby anyhow. It's the quickest way to work I've ever found, and I like
it.
As Nike would say... "Just do it".
Cheers,
Kim.

I started keeping a little Olympus voice recorder around, just to
put song ideas onto. By the time I start up the computer and
get Paris going, the idea is usally gone, especially if it is 3am.
Thank God for my patient wife.
