OK, i get it ... thanx, Astro. i've been dragging my heels on MIDI for years, swearing that one of these days i'll take the plunge. i can see how, in this situation, the time invested in writing the MIDI track would pay off in tweakability at mixdown. so ... you could play it in in something close to real time, then tidy it up, then fine-tune your levels in the mix, right? sorry to be a dullard, man, i'm still stuck in drum-machine world!
