Songwriting Tip:
Phone-related tools for capturing songwriting ideas
My cel quickly phone became my favorite tool for capturing ideas. In the early days, my cel phone was pretty crummy, but when inspiration would strike, usually in the car (my best ideas come to me in the car for some reason), I'd call my home line and leave myself a vocal message ... which of course wouldn't work to well when anyone was home to pickup the phone.
Since then, I put my hands on a nicer phone that actually allows me to record audio without having to place a call. I've also got the record function on a hotkey so I can quickly grab my cel and sing away to my heart's content.
Jeff is right, those ideas can come and go pretty quickly, and I'm glad to have an easy way to capture every idea that comes to mind. Miss an idea; miss another chance to make a difference!
