So what's your approach to C64 music making?

I usually like methods 3-5 the best out of my own poll. Sometimes combined as part of a larger project compiled elsewhere, sometimes not.
Here's an updated picture of C64 #3, now I've got it all perfect:

I prefer working the software rather than working the computer. I'm not techy enough to really get to grips with the processor metal, though I do know I'm losing out on the total flexibilty.
Do you work solely on the 64, compose on it and port the data (MIDI or otherwise) to finish on the PC, or anything, or what?

PS - For the spirit, here is a nice copy of Music Maker 2. Very limited, but has some nice preset sounds and demo songs to enjoy:
