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.
