It's great observing Steve in his Zen like production mode. Steve is a master with his left hand and using shortcuts for everything. It's so nice to know shortcuts vs. going up to the menu for every single task. What a waste of time! In conjuntion with learning Steve's shortcut tips, I'm all over Youtube and what other people do to speed up their workflow. As I'm making songs, I am saving templates so that I can go right into a new song with a lot of the leg work taken care of. Work smart not hard. Getting all of the routing dialed initially really helps with the creative process and overall organization. Creativity is great, but so is Logic! I just scored 50/50 on a left brain/right brain test so that's cool too! Haha!
