The former: looking for ideas. My sessions are reasonably organized compared to many working from personal studios, but I don’t feel like I’ve ever arrived at a wholly consistent system, so I am curious about how others conceive of and execute session organization. Your last sentence is helpful in this regard, thanks!
I have VERY strong doubts there could be any standardization because sessions can vary so widely in their instrumentation and even basic structure, as well as there being such variety in composing and engineering approaches. For example, a session for an aleatoric piece will have no resemblance organizationally to an EDM session.
