You don't have to be a perfect keyboardist. I can't properly play what I'm writing. Lately I've been trying to record by MIDI my own melodies, but it sucks so much, even after quantizing. I end up deleting it and just putting it in with the mouse.
I'm the opposite. Can't write during the night. I can't write with headphones so it severly limits my volume levels, and at night I'm tired after a long day. Who can write music? During the day I'm fresh, both mind and ears. Maybe that's because I was just released from army and I have way too much free time.
Sounds like fun. I should try that when I get my own laptop as well. Too bad my control keyboard is 5 octaves and quite heavy
And I thought the last track I wrote in 5 days was quick.
