Composing

What does everyone use when they want to just write music?
For me it seems that using a sequencer to compose can be a somewhat cumbersome.

Some may disagree but my reason is that if I just need a sound to represent a particular instrument I spend way too much time with a synth then I need to.

I'm not saying I need realistic sounds, just a quick and easy way to get down musical ideas.

mmmm guitar pro?

or simply writing down notes usualy do the trick for me...

Sing the melody, get it as complete as you can before writing it down.

Or pick up a guitar and play.

Or a hardware synth/keyboard.

For me, composing is entirely separate from the process of choosing sounds, mixing, all that other stuff.

Guitar pro actually looks alright ill certainly look into that.

Exactly, thats why when im writing something (usually non-trance) I just want to say "ok some kind of guitar will go here" and then write that bit.
