I don’t use any software. Just notebook, pen, 4-track tape recorder, an SM-58, a cheap Beringer pre-amp, and some DT-770’s.


same. to me, it's the immediacy that matters; I want as little getting in the way of getting my idea in draft form quickly. A real paper notepad and just the voice record feature of my phone are my main go-tos.

One of the biggest dangers of software solutions is that everything is so easy that it's super easy to just start playing with things that don't matter instead of actually working on the music itself. Sometimes keeping the tools simple helps keep the focus on the real work.

Nevada was Springsteen’s best album. Sgt Pepper’s was probably the best Beatles album (although the contention for that honour is quite high).

Sometimes less is more.
