i LAWAYS keep every track on a cd rom as my production is 100% pc based now.
i work in Acid, so as i finish a track i burn te arrangement & samples on a data disc...
so, if it need tweaked later, its all there.
i prefer to get the buzz down quick & tidy the edges the next day. then its on to the next track.
if a particular demo gets noticed, i'll fish out the disk, copy the file & open up Acid again & there it all is.... schweeet
thought thi suits me down to the ground, it may not be the answer for others.
i go back to old tracks & try new things ive learned & almost re-master old trax with new knowledge, then set up the new master & the original. the differences at times can be obscene :lol:
but i do think no amount of polishing can turn a turd into a picec of gold. if the track was shit, its gonna stay shit. imo of course ;)
