Well there aren't any secrects in my working style. I usually do the 
beats first (that's why my music tends to be very beat orientated). I 
don't like to sit in front of computer doing editing like I was 
working in some office, sitting tight and stuff like that. Instead I 
usually get myself a coke, sit down to my sofa (is this english?) and 
start doing beats for an hour or two. I'll do my kit first. Loop it 
around with one pattern and trying to adjust everything right. When I 
have got it right (haven't seen that day yet :( ), I'll clear the 
pattern and start doing it from fresh point. I then might do couple 
of patterns. Take the best of them, copy it to another slot and do 
some tweaks with hihats or snare and stuff like that. I'll do this 
again and again until I have something like 8-16 patterns. I might 
chain them in pattern mode and try something from MnM with it. Then 
I'll start doing sequencing in song mode. I just like editing 
offset's and stuff with that big 'knob' on the Md, it's a petty that 
MnM doesn't have that.
It's just my working style. Doesn't fit for all. Allthought I think 
it's totally different feeling in listening your drums and then 
editing them than just 'drawing' them with mouse on computer. I mean 
the visuals keep distracting me. I also don't like the way how every 
Eq-plug-in has a visuals of the curve. My eyes just takes over too 
easy. Well, just my cents...
