Use the recommended Osborne checklist when you have trouble developing songs

Have you heard of the Osborne Checklist Checklist?

Alex F. who devised brainstormingOsborneIt is a method of coming up with ideas.

The Osborne checklist applies to the following nine items to come up with ideas.

"Diversion" "Application" "Change" "Enlargement" "Reduction" "Substitution" "Reuse" "Reversal" "Combination"

I will actually try various things to see if it will be useful for songwriting without permission.

Each list will dig deeper with a separate article.
(I will add the method that I actually came up with while writing the article, etc.)

The point is, if you start with this article when you think you have an idea, I hope you can provide a hint to get an idea.

I will write it gradually, so please keep an eye on it.

I will explain using FL Studio as usual.
(I think you can do the same with other DAWs)

This is the site that I referred to the list.

If you get stuck with an idea, try the Osborne Checklist

It is important to think freely about the standard "Brest" that comes up with ideas, but even so, there are times when a good idea does not come up.Therefore, I would like to try the method of using "hints".

"Put to other uses"

・ Try changing the sound source and effects

・ Can you get an idea from a similar song?
・ Try to imitate the chord progression of an existing song

Modify

・ Try morphing
・ Try changing the arrangement
・ Try changing the sound source / effect

"Magnify"

・ Try to make it half speed
・ Try to strengthen the transient
・ Try slowing down the playback speed without changing the pitch

"Minify"

・ Try to double the speed
・ Try to weaken the transient
・ Try increasing the playback speed without changing the pitch.

"Substitute"

・ Is it possible to change the recording / sample to sample / recording?

I think there are some overlaps, but since the purpose is to come up with ideas, I will not accept small details!

However, I would be grateful if you could provide information on ideas.
