I just got a cool song idea and have recorded the melody into my phone and have taken notes on what the song sounds like. I can hear it in my head so clearly right now but I'm afraid that if I leave it in my notes and continue working on my current song that I'll forget it. How do you defeat this problem?
i've learned to describe things sufficiently well. it helps to do it in an audio recording, or maybe even a video recording. every little hint you can give, will help. provide a tempo reference. provide references to other songs if that helps
