I use the iPhone Voice Memos app to record ideas as close to real time as possible. 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 Last edited: May 10, 2017 19:09:35 |

I picked up a Tascam DR-44 for capturing ideas. (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 |

I use my IPhone. I like to take video, it gives me chord references so if I want to add a second guitar part I have the recorded bit to play over. —The Me Gustas |

I'm much like Number9, except that I only draw 5 lines. Seriously, I write it out in standard notation. |

Over the years I've discovered if I can't remember an idea it isn't good enough. 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. |
