RE: [elektron] Re: How to create a track?!

That's a heck of a good night's work!  It would be really helpful if you
could let us "follow along" as you develop this track.  Maybe each time
you do any significant further work on it you could update this file and
post something describing what you did.

There is no real standard process, people just use what works best for
them.
For me, I always start everything in hardware, get a sequence going, get
some variations going on, try to figure out some basic arrangement on
the
hardware sequencer I'm using, usually the MnM(a godsend), using mutes
the
joystick and pattern switching. Then record all the loops of each part
into
Logic, and work from there. More advanced arrangement, editing, adding
parts
on the fly from my gear, usually via midi before recording in, but
sometimes
just playing the audio in. Work on mixing, effects, getting the sound
where
I want it etc..  

Here's typically about a nights work for a track, the other night in
fact.
My stuff always starts as sketches like this.

P.S. Mostly MnM and SH-101 :)
