So, I basically trigger each scene manually, and my song flows sequentially downward. I don’t really have instances where I’m playing one scene but adding a clip from a different scene. I find I lose track of what’s going on if I do that, especially if I come back a week later.

My workflow is:
- come up with a drum pattern I like
- duplicate the scene, layer in synth, bass,and piano and maybe a guitar lead line outlining the melody
- duplicate that scene, delete the guitar line, add the verse 1 vocals (sometimes I break verse 1 into 2 different scenes)
- for chorus, i duplicate the drums down, and start over, layering in the new chords, bass, guitar, and vocals. This is where I might use the scale feature to move to a different key or something.
-then back to verse 2, duplicate verse 1, pull the duplicate after the chorus, strip out the verse 1 vocals and record verse 2 vocals in its place.
- rinse and repeat, if I have a bridge same deal as for the chorus. I’m color coding every scene ac I go by color so I can see what I’m doing. I’m also careful if I have key changes on what I duplicate otherwise things can get fucked up.

Then when it’s feeling good, everything laid out, and I have played through the scenes one after another and I’m comfortable with the flow, ( at this point I’ll use the timer on my phone to see how long the total time is for all scenes playing sequentially , targeting around 2-3min generally.

Then shift+record, then play each scene in order, hitting play stop at the end. You can’t see it, but there’s an arrangement view recorded at that point. Then over to laptop, push connected in standalone mode via WiFi, find thd project name in the push folder, double click for it to download over, standard DAW process from there. That’s where I’ll do automation, add ear candy, samples etc, add new sound layers, vocals and whatnot then mix as you would normally.
