Try without losing the good version

Checkpoints

Keep track of how a session evolved and return to an earlier draft when needed.

Three revisions of one session preserving its core musical idea

What it does

Checkpoints make revision less risky. When you try a new direction, you can compare it with where the project was before and roll back if the earlier version had the better feel.

How to use it

  1. 1Make a change or explore an alternate direction.
  2. 2Review the evolving session as a series of drafts.
  3. 3Return to a previous version when that is the version worth keeping.

Useful when

Try it in a real session.

Start with an idea, then keep the project open long enough to make it yours.
