Perhaps too broad but I'm curious what others use for writing tools?
I use the "Music Memos" app on my phone to quickly capture ideas (typically guitar/vocal, or piano/vocal). Then I thin the heard after a week or two. If I'm wanting to push an idea forward I use NoteTaker on my Mac to create a electronic notebook for the song. I keep all my lyrics and recording notes (signal chain; mic, pre, comp, eq along with pictures of settings if I really like a sound) there along with links to the audio session. I'll create a PT session for the baby song and down the rabbit hole I go.
Here is one place that I'm stuck (in PT). I've started to become more interested in adding drum parts to some of my songs. I'm curious what people like to use? I'm searching for something that is simple and easy to use, but sounds good. Leaning slightly to the must sound good over the completely easy to use. If I can start a simple loop with some basic kick, snare to write to that would be a win.
I'm also curious if people have other tools that they like for capturing ideas quickly. I've been using my phone for this because it is typically easily and quickly available.
