It is so easy to create patterns and songs that make sense with -7's on
board sequencer. I do not have this ease of use with my software sequencer,
which on the other hand offers alot more manipulative potential (logic
audio).
Let say I arrange a song from the start to the end on -7, and I'd like to
record its audio, track by track. Then I would be limited to 2(6) audio
outputs of -7, so I would have to record the midi into soft sequencer first,
and then record the audio tracks there.
Is that the way how most of you guys work?

Appreciate any share.
