The Achilles heel of songwriting : capturing your
idea
If you’re a
songwriter, you’ve undoubtedly had unplanned times of singing at a
friend’s house, a hotel room, or alone in your car. Moments void of
time constraints, expectations from others, or life’s constant
demands . . . moments ripe for inspiration.
Many times the pleasure of singing new songs or melodies has been
frustrated by the inability to capture that phrase, that simple
chorus or a melody line that was birthed in spontaneity. Behind me
is a 20 year trail of little handheld recorders that invariably
broke or got lost, tunes sung into my home answering machine, and
audio cassettes recorded at church that ended up being mislabeled or
misplaced. Lyric ideas jotted down on napkins, the back of airline
tickets or receipts, somehow never made it to my home where I really
needed it.
 About
3 years ago I began using the software program “MasterWriter”
(www.masterwriter.com).
This program runs on just about any modern laptop and has become my
ultimate tool for recording both audio and lyric ideas. I take it
everywhere I go and have saved hundreds of lyric ideas and melodies.
Not only does it record your ideas, but it also plays simple drum
loops, has an innovative rhyming dictionary with perfect and
imperfect rhymes, alliterations, thesaurus, and other practical
tools. MasterWriter has transformed the way I capture and work on my
song ideas. I’ve used it for every song on my last 2 worship
projects.
Though we do not sell this software through our store, we’ve
negotiated a $70.00 discount for leadworship.com visitors.
