I like this a lot.

I must say though, that the limitation can turn into acomodation. For 
15 years I record loop music with the limits:
- no overdubs
- just guitar (many sounds, but no synth) or a partner with another 
instrument also real time
- simple edits, keep the original chronological order

For some time I feel I should open up into one direction.
For example I sometimes record with a partner and use separate tracks 
to edit each instrument separately. This gives me such a lot o new 
ways to edit that I end up not doing the work!
Now imagine if I start recording keyboards over all of my recordings 
or simply allow to mix several recordings - I am AFFRAID OF THE 
DECISIONS TO TAKE!


George Bernard Shaw is great, too: :-)

A law only change after many had the curage to disrespect it. They 
often pay hard for the progress of the others.

Somebody cites in his signature something like: "Its never a problem 
to get new ideas, but to get rid of the old ones."
Fits well.
