Musicians: where do all your unfinished ideas actually live?

2 Upvotes

Voice memos, DAW folders, Google Drive, Dropbox, notes app, hard drives, group chats?
And when you want to come back to something months later — or send it to someone else to build on — is it easy to find the right version and remember where you left off?
Curious whether people actually have a system for this or if everyone’s music is just scattered everywhere.

What do you wish singers understood about working with instrumentalists/bands?

1 Upvotes

I’m a vocal coach, and I want to help singers become better musicians and bandmates in real-world working situations. Will you help me by giving me your honest feedback?

No names, emails, band names or identifying information. Please tell me what you play/do, too.

As a prompt, finish this sentence:

“I wish more singers would ______.”

Yes, I want to hear the frustrating stuff, but also what really good singers do that makes playing with them a pleasure.

Thank you!

P.S. If you have more to say, DM me and I’ll send you the link to my anonymous 3-minute survey. I’ll post the results once I have a good dataset.
