With splicing and dicing I can take multiple regens of RT's and create in the DAW what I'm looking for. Perhaps I am missing out on approaches that would improve our music but we are having big fun and for us that's what it's all about.

FWIW, YMMV, etc.

Number one is that your approach is producing songs that are radio ready IMHO so don't change a thing. I don't think that you are missing anything.

Two is that you are having fun and that is the name of the game, at least for me now. But I have more fun using MIDI and playing instruments than doing multiple regens and cutting and pasting them into a single track. Both your and mine are appropriate ways of making music. Different strokes for different folks.

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
