and simply record your entire Motif ES sequence

as a stereo track. Or you can as I outlined briefly

above - split it out to as many mono and stereo

pairs of tracks as you desire to accomplish your

mix. The idea is to get the music to your DAW

sense to accomplish the sound you are going

after.

There are some projects where you may print the

drums to a stereo track ...(done) - because the

sound you get in the Motif ES, is exactly what that

particular project needs.

The importance of doing EVERYTHING ALL AT

ONCE will hopefully pass once you realize the built

effect processing, you get to concentrate your

energy and focus on just the few tracks at hand.

Each pass will be synchronized so there is no

worry about having to do them all at once.

The thing that is so nice about it all is there is no

one single way to work. If you perfect the

sequence in the Motif ES or in the DAW of choice,

nothing prevents you from simply opening a

stereo track and print it straight up. But if you

own track, and each instrument part to its own

track, you can do that too. You may want to work

with your DAW strictly as an audio recorder –

nothing says you have to use MIDI tracks. These

are decisions you have to make when you

conceptualize your session.
