I have found this out from experience (already)... It didn't take very
long :) The good thing is that the project I wrecked with overall
changes has enough other defects in it to make it worth while redoing from
scratch. I am looking forward to trying out Ardour 3 to do drum tracks
from pads (my only choice right now). While I have been playing for a long
time, my experience in recording is very recent. The cure is practice. I
was quite a fan of midi when all I had was a few tracks of audio (I
started on 4 and 8 track) and putting TC on one track allowed me to add
lots of other tracks with a sequencer. It was fun, but I was just playing
around. I am more serious now, if not truely professional.
