Yeah... especially if you happen to own analog gear.
though what sucks is whenever I find this moment of genious I'm either not recording or I'm just playing around. I especially hate it when I have a melody that just sounds perfect and I don't capture it.
It's like jerking off instead of firing into a fertile hole to produce baby geniouses
 (forgive crude analogy)
I must have "happened" on enough riffs and sounds to have 3 albums full but none of it captured. Worst thing for me is when I start recording, I somehow get this writers' block. It's like "now you have to try and make it sound nice instead of goofing off".
I need to train my mind to ease up when "rec" button is pressed.
OH, and some of my worst experiences were with new synths that I did not know how to program. I'd make a killer sound, try and save it as documented - "Press this button, then stand on your hands and with your left toe press the rightmost button while twidling the other button with you left toe and then chant the serial number in latin"
...only to find that I did not save the patch. 
bummer, ainit?
