Stay with the song.
Keep the take that says it best.
Record a rough idea or bring in a voice memo. Mark the phrase worth returning to and hear it alongside the words it belongs to.
Try another chorus. Keep this one too.
Save the drafts that matter, compare what changed and return to an earlier idea. There is room to experiment without losing the work you liked.
Remember who was in the room.
Keep contributors, roles and proposed splits with the song while the details are still fresh.
Take useful files into the next session.
Export a lyric sheet, chord chart or producer pack. Keep the original project and recordings on your Mac.
“With Studio I can see the value of documenting the song, the takes, versions and handoff very clearly. The Producer Pack itself was also well organised.”
