I agree. This is why I like to close my eyes or turn the screen off and just let the track play so I can try to figure out what to add to it without the distraction of the sequencer window. Like Sean Booth from Autechre said:

"When we're putting things down and mixing things and are trying to make things sound right, the screen has to go off. It's an illusion that totally pollutes what you're thinking and what you're listening to. Yes, you can be in the zone when sitting with a laptop. You absolutely can. But you just want to listen and not interact with the device. The worst things are the timeline sequencers where you can see on the screen what's coming up. That really f**ks with your head when you're listening."

Interesting interview with the guys from Autechre: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr...es/autechre.htm

I tend to find that now I can just go to a synth and make the sound I want whereas when I started it was all just experimentation. The only problem is that I personally tend to come up with something similar on whatever gear is in front of me.

I find that working with other people opens up your eyes to new styles and sounds more easily than going back to the drawing board by yourself.

Nein. No doubt you got here from the link that somebody posted in the "Do you ever look back?" thread the other day.
