Thanks. No matter how I try to get away from trackers and get into
using "real" tools, I always come back. I miss all the little things,
like almost sample accurate control of pitch, being able to see
everything at once and most importantly, not having to use the mouse.

I spent a long time having hardly anything I considered complete. I
still have to push myself to actually do the final listening,
tweaking, compressing, encoding and uploading.

I've always been the same with everything. Once I can see the end, I
lose interest. I'm the same with my research - I stop caring not when
I've done the hard bit, but when I realise that I can.

But then I realised that I really needed feedback. Having people
listen and comment on my stuff has made a big difference. So has just
knowing that people will listen to it.
