I have been trying out various ways to temporarily store what I play while trying to develop a melody. The development happens in small pieces like one bar or two bars at a time. Each time backing track cycles through the bar, I play again and again trying to perfect it or trying a different set of notes each time. Linearly recording makes it difficult to retrieve and synch the best one, later. I found Reaper was able to meet this requirement. There is a facility to loop the playback track and when Record is enabled in another track, it records like a stack. Once I stop, all the loops I played will be shown on the track as a stack and we can cycle through each one and select the one we want. This way I was able to focus on the musical side of this process without worrying on how to record the multiple ideas that come up while trying to develop a melody. The melody uploaded below , I composed while listening to the backing track. The backing track was downloaded from Youtube. (Gm-Gm-Gm-Gm – Cm-Cm – Gm-Gm – Dm-Cm-Gm-D7#9).
Hope this helps anyone who has a similar situation !
