How do I actually write music in real life, like I can write things in my head but when I try to write it down for real and record stuff I can never transcribe it right, do you have any advice
for 'writing down' you should probably use a recording. get a text file to map out what happens, and anything musical / specific, demo it and just write down what file number it is, in the text, next to the thing it's a demo for. very quick and easy. if you're having a dedicated writing session, you should leave one running while you come up with things. then when you get something, re-set the recording to a new file and say/sing it clearly, then stop the file and then just write down the file number and what the thing is for
