A major design goal was to keep sessions self-contained. If everything was spread out all over the place it'd be a mess:
For me, I start playing/experimenting, and when I discover something I like,
I'll practice it a few minutes, rather than embarass myself with a
daft recording. Then the new song starts as a single track,
with an instrument of some sort, and maybe an effect added,
if there is proof of life, so I don't start out fresh pressing the record button...
better musicians, and some engineers may do that, some secretly,
to catch a performers warmup lightning in a bottle.
By the very nature of the first track being...the first track,
there isn't a whole lot to lose or spread out everywhere,
and even I can remember that one instrument I was just playing
should an intervention be needed. I'd rather not need
yet another subfolder, until I want it. I suppose I could
always call my session hope&change, since it doesn't really exist...yet
...and likely won't stay the same once it does.
I love the color coding in your EQ plugin(s) it really helps
keep track of things, especially as gui fatigue could otherwise
settle in, and chill the festivities. Don't let my nitpicking fool you,
I really like Mixbus, and hope I drive it hard enough
to need new tires on a regular basis.
