Stage 2 — WRITE
===============
Rule: no plugin except volume.

- Chords first (pad + keys from /midi), then bass, then top line.
- 45 minutes on a timer. When it rings, the loop is what it is.
- If a sound annoys you, change the preset. Never fix it with EQ here.
- Play the loop three times through, hands off the mouse.

Exit condition: eight bars that survive three loops.
