not yet but its certainly on my to-do list… specifically for the OT I feel like I would really benefit from a consistent structure and possibly a consistent set of maybe 4-8 scenes that always do the same thing no matter what… so I can practice more from working with a particular scene and how it interacts with another particular scene - without having to start from scratch each time I make a new song. Just for some of the most basic fx or transition tricks I like to use all the time. Also I want to get a standardized track layout nailed down, 1 is always kick, 5 is always bass, that kind of thing. Otherwise its just such a chore to remember how everything is setup and whats going on when you are dealing a set of a few different songs. Not to mention after a long period of time, revisiting a song I havent played with in a while, etc.
Also Id like to have about 16mb or so of very short, universally useful samples (drums, noise swells, impacts, etc.) already loaded up and ready to go - because having to hunt down samples and transfer them over, edit/slice them and all that is a total showstopper for me when Im in the “flow” of just making music
but yeh the scenes are just screaming for a template (in my world)… think im gonna start on that today actually
btw - Octaedit really, really helps with this kind of management… gives you way more flexibility to copy/paste/save/load bits and pieces from various projects and consolidate into whatever you want
with the AK its already pretty consistent in itself - but I still want to nail down a standard track layout on that too
My main concern with all this is developing skills, muscle memory, speed, etc. - its no good to practice non-stop if the thing you are practicing on keeps changing shape all the time… makes it very difficult to retain much of the useful experience gained during practice. Thats how I feel about it anyways.
