Some of the stuff I think up is really amazing but unfortunately they usually all falls apart when I actually try and create them. Also, most of the stuff I think up in my head is crazy breaky IDM madness that I couldnt make with any of the programs I currently have available to me...

But on the plus side, the idea had almost become a complete song by the time I got my Gameboy.

XD I can't even remember my own phone number at times (I fixed this by writing it on my hand for a week and whenever I got free time looking at it and repeatedly whispering it to myself, which shows how bad I am at remembering things. tongue).

One time I had to keep it in my head for 6 hours before I could write it down.

Good question. I usually either put it into Nanoloop on my phone or record myself humming or singing it. Problem is, if I record myself, then I usually forget to go back and look at them. neutral

seeing as i can't work with nanoloop if my life depended on it, i'll probably just do the whole 'humming' method next time another bassline/melody/whatever the eff i think up next comes around.

My phone is full of these... I always feel like an idiot when I go back and listen to myself mouthing tubas and drums.
