i'm confused about who the customer is. the older way of thinking
about the overall workflow is an attribute of the engineer/editor, not
the singer.
if the engineer/editor is the customer, i'd tell them to use another
program right now because ardour doesn't support their workflow. i try
not to spend much time convincing people to work in a different way
than they are used to, it seems pretty pointless to me since i don't
really believe that one way is superior to the others (though some are
definitely more connected to ideas rooted in some kind physical
operation like tape splicing).

hint: there's no reason to replace the section from [2:03 to 2:27]
with another take at all.

that would just have confirmed that you have the skills to be abrasive
and difficult to get along with when you choose to.

much better idea.
