Here's a handy little tip: Turn recording on. Play your song for about 5 minutes, doing mutes and unmutes, pattern changes, filter sweeps, delay tricks and whatnot live. Stop recording and consider the song finished. Easier to do with hardware though, but at least in Ableton doing that is quite easy. Editing the fine details for ages is fine IF you got a hit song that deserves such attention. But most songs aren't hits, there's no point in finetuning them for months, it's just wasted time that could be spent on writing new songs instead. |
