might seem kinda basic but i respect the thread so that's what it's all for i suppose: i think method is something with this beast.
something i've done for organization is build a PROGRAM around a particular instrument, assign pads for the notes that i'm going to use in a passage.
this means that if i'm playing a bass/drum part i assign only the notes i'll be using out of a passage in a sequence that works well with one hand and i assign the kick/snare/woodblock with what works well with the other hand.
this lets me run live takes for a non-quantized loop.
i'll repeat this for the guitar/horn whatever and assign for each bank of pads. with this i'll have a loop i'm pretty happy with for one 16 bar measure. i'll EQ and master till it sounds like a good lick and internally sample the whole thing. i'll keep a master CD burned with the original PROGRAM with all of the instruments seperated out on pads so i can always reference it and change things up as i need.
working with the sample i make of the original PROGRAM's loop lets me kick it on one pad and free's up a boatload of memory/cpu usage. this actually let's me keep pretty complex loops going on without the strain on my memory for samples so i can free up the 4K to work like a linear HD recorder and stream 30 minute vocal sample takes into it for further editing.
this frees up your HD which can fragment like any other electro-magnetic drive to be a source for your SEQUENCES and performance PROGRAMS only!
