Things would get so unorganized and confusing. Embarrassing and stressful. Being able to tap a button to capture, physically see the recording as a block on a screen, has been life-changing for me. My DAW - my sketchbook.
Medically diagnosed with ADHD since 2nd grade. Medicated for most of my life. For years, I could play many instruments, compose a tune out of anything. The arduous task of remembering where I was or what I was doing was so hard for me. I would space out while songwriting.
