I sit around with my guitar noodling away until something sounds cool. Then I play that over and over and try to develop the idea. Then I try and figure out how lyrics might fit in. Then I try and think of the words to sing along to the piece I've written. I'm in the middle of a song-writing bender and it's been a lot of fun.

I have spring break off (HS teacher), and I'm planning on recording and polishing a few songs I've had in the works now for over a year. I'll aim for 4 songs out of the 10 or so candidates I have. I will be trying Reaper after years of working with Audacity. I really enjoy using the software as an instrument. Recording my acoustic guitar and vocal track, and then overlaying other sounds and tracks I think might help out the original idea/vibe. So far each of my recording sessions has resulted in very different types of music. It's exciting not knowing how things will wind up sounding until the end. Go with the flow, and all that.

Really cool. That's exactly the kind of thing I meant by using the studio software as an instrument. Sometimes after I've added a few tracks, I mute my original acoustic guitar track, and often find a wonderfully sparse arrangement hiding underneath.
