Q: 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?
A: 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
