I think the best thing about having this program is being able to record riffs anytime I come up with them. Doesn't matter how good they sound of if they're just a part of an idea. I'm able to record them on the spot. Then I can go back and pick what want to work on. Add to it or make another track and record it differently. I can also record vocal lines or ideas for melodies, harmonies and so on. Way more productive than trying to remember everything. 

 

One thing to note. If your using alternate tunings you should mention that at the beginning of the recording. That way you wont be pulling your hair out trying to remember the tunings for multiple riffs.

I've also used iMovie for this. I've got dozens of short clips. When I get a musical idea, i fire up iMovie using the built in camera on my Mac and record a few takes. Then I name it including the tuning. This lets me see as well as hear how I made the riff (key for beginners!)

totally cool idea. Guess that's something else I'll have to learn to use on this thing. The idea of using a vid to not only hear what you've done but see it played is great!
