Deliberately copy snippets of a work you're interested in as a study -- e.g. transcribe it -- and experiment with elements you find interesting (rhythm, chords, synths, effects, whatever) in small test pieces to make sure you understand what's going on. Let the ideas stew for a while and then much later try to use the techniques you learned in a real piece.
That's what I do anyway.
Clearly mark these as Do Not Use or something!
When getting into digital painting I copied some of my fav artists works from Insta and stuff and I now have a lot of pics where I don't remember if they're mine or not ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Definitely! I usually name my files starting with
YYYY_MM_DD(which makes it easy to sort by the date I started making the file), a number for which entry it was on that day (1,2,3,4... plus sometimes a letter too if I want to keep multiple drafts), and a few words if I have other details I want to remember. e.g. "transcribe_song_by_artist" or things like "cont_YYYY_MM_DD-entry" when I continue working on a piece from a long time I ago. Sometimes I add a title after that too if I wanted to give the piece one.
