my way of dealing with this is rather simple .... get in and out as fast as you can.
Meaning ... I do all my midi stuff in Protools ... have come to like it and it's all I need. Works fine as long as you use hardware synths and I do use a lot of those.
Soft synths and Samplers however ... especially when using more then one / or rather more then one kind I follow these rules :
1. hit save button on procontrol every 15 seconds
2. program midi and record to audio ASAP and get rid of the synth plugin ASAP
3. rename sessions every 30 minute ... arr 01 / arr 02 / arr 03 etc etc ...
4. hit save button on the procontrol every 15 seconds
5; with machfive ... use it to browse sample library which is realy cool ... do my thing and get the hell out of there and loose the plugin ASAP
6. did I mention save session every 15 seconds yet ?
I'm quite satisfied with the tools I have at hand. And my habbits in using them work fine for me while waiting for improvements ... But whenever someone mentions native is the future to me I kinda think by myself ... 'sure ... we'll be all mixing ITB and SSL and Neve's will only be found in historical museums before that will happen'.
