I’m working with my OT now for 6 month and I tried different things to keep track of my ideas and approaches how to handle sounds and scenes. Unfortunately none of my notes is working in a longer shot, meaning that I’m not really able to recreate an episode of sound or a specific part which I did for example two weeks ago.
Even if I found a sheet of paper here and there in the thread I want to make a call to all OT owners to post your way of making notes, whether it’s by hand or done on a computer. This is a good time to start a collection as the OT is back in stock again and some new owners will be in same situation sooner or later.
I’ll start with a sketch I did. You can see a template to print out (several ones, to bind a little OT book with it). Write some info about the track in the header. Then you have to blocks: Patterns and Scenes, each seperated from 1 to 16. From T1 to T8 you can make a sign for mute and active. Each column gives you symbols that refer to the knob position, just mark with a little line the position from -64 to +64. There are 3 x 6 so you can choose to what page the knob position refers. For example: Playback, Effect 1 and Effect 2. It would be also possible to make the line with different color so that you get a transition from column to imagine immediately what to do. Then again some lines for notes, that’s it.
Happy sharing.
