 | During the day... I get all sorts of inspiration for drum loops and melodies... but when I go to transfer them onto a
 medium.... It all goes tits-up!!
 
 Anyone else get this prob and is there a way to let the
 beats out of my head without carrying a dictaphone around
 everywhere?
 
 AHHHHIT'S DOING MY NUT!

 | I think it's the same for everyone. I get amazing guitar riffs in my head all the time, as soon as I pick up a guitar
 and try to play it, the fact I don't get the tuning or chord
 right straight away means the riff just vanishes straight
 out of my head. :(   It would be the same with a dictaphone,
 even singing the riffs in my head warps them and fucks them
 up

 My music's like penicillin.
 Works after days of fucking about, then getting something I
 didn't expect.
 
 Results: ALOT of shitty tracks to one good one.

 | I've actually got as 10 hour dictaphone type thing on my (mobile) phone. In the past I've tried human beatboxing
 rythms into it, but even when I record them reasonably well,
 I can never get them into a drum machine properly :(
