Points up some advice I've heard--make a manual for what you do. This will go beyond the manual for whatever software you are using as it will incorporate settings for your hardware as well.

I learned this the hard way back when I was first learning to record to disk using a demo version of Cubase. NOTHING seemed to work the same way twice. I was usually doing the right stuff, but not always in the right order, which was crucial. Only recording (in writing) the successful steps made this clear to me and, more importantly, guaranteed repeatable results.

Write down what you do as you go. Later, delete what didn't work. The result will be a recipe for success.

This is especially important when you are using more than one bit of software to do the same thing. None of them do the same thing in quite the same way. I use several different sequencers for compatibility with different collaborators, so I am very mindful of this right now.

P.S.: Having created a checklist, be sure to actually read it once in a while . . .
