Sometimes with the nitro trick- depending on settings- you can hear the LFO filtering the faintest background noise that is usually lost in the mix, but can help you time when to start your recording.
I will add to the CWO trick that on pads and other constant sounds, it can be nice to record one side of the mix in reverse. When using the endless sequencer, hold shift on the sequencer screen and turn the orange knob to find the reversed version of your phrase. The modulation of CWO with orange above fifty percent is nice, but seems to move in one direction. By recording in reverse, you can have an upward phase on one channel and a downward phase on the other. This can be used in conjunction with the manual raising and lowering of the recording level to add to the panning effect.
I love recording things normal in one channel and recording in reverse on the other even when they arent CWO pads.
