    "more riffs for your song, not more riffs in your song" is the eternal DAW writer plague 😂 I find it so hard not to get attached to every riff and decide which ones to cut down or out.
    But you're right, it ends up with tighter arrangements in the end!

    Mix in a little bit of your mic track behind the guitar tracks, the acoustic sound of the string noise adds nice articulation to the riffs that's missing when you just play back the DI.
