i'm confused about who the customer is. the older way of thinking

about the overall workflow is an attribute of the engineer/editor, not

the singer.

if the engineer/editor is the customer, i'd tell them to use another

program right now because ardour doesn't support their workflow. i try

not to spend much time convincing people to work in a different way

than they are used to, it seems pretty pointless to me since i don't

really believe that one way is superior to the others (though some are

definitely more connected to ideas rooted in some kind physical

operation like tape splicing).
hint: there's no reason to replace the section from [2:03 to 2:27]

with another take at all.
