Then I suffer through GarageBand and its various annoyances to create a demo. I bought Steve's Springy Surf Drums https://sellfy.com/stevesspringysurfdrums and imported them as GarageBand drum loops. I create about 200 bars of surf beat and start laying down my ideas. Two guitars and bass. Once that's all done, I go back and try to make the drums a little less loopy - add fills, ride over the chorus, a crash here, a splash there. The final product sounds like a bunch of loops stuck together but it's good enough to express my ideas to my bandmates I hope! — Jonathan the Reverbivore The Reverbivores Please check out our latest album The Reverbivores Watch TV! www.thereverbivores.com Facebook YouTube Last edited: May 10, 2017 19:09:35 Top

(Ideas can vanish as fast as they come) It works great for recording practice too. I've got a ton of old ideas for songs on my dumb flip phone just by humming into My Sounds. — http://www.reverbnation.com/theampfibians http://www.reverbnation.com/thesouthgateboys Top

That isn't to say you shouldn't record things, but ideas aren't worth recording. There have also been ideas I've partially forgot but found something better. If I had stuck with my original idea it would have been much more straightforward. Top
