Well .....? Does the end product match the initial idea? :)

No..I don't think I actually any music in my head until I play it. Sometimes I get an idea for the kind of thing I want, but I never really 'hear' it, and very often it ends up being something else entirely.

No
 
 
But....
 
 
In the end, it usually turns out to sound pretty decent.

Does The Music In Your Brain Sound The Same When You Get It Recorded/Played?

Nope. Hardly ever.

never when collaborating. 
 
usually not when by myself, but sometimes.

What is this brian you speak of and how can I get sum?

The first requirement to answer this is have a brain, personally I only have one cell which probably explains why what I hear in my fur ball of a head is rarely what it sounds like when it is recorded.

No, I can figure out how to remove the static when I record. 

It's always an approximation of what I have in mind, but, more often than before as I learn, I do get closer to my goals.
 
Still, it's funny how sometimes some things will work out okay in your head, and you really think that you hear that stuff as clear as if you were actually listening to it on a cd or something - but then you record it and it just doesn't work, not by a long shot. That's one of the weirdest things.
 
Then there's the obvious compromises - maybe you hear John Bonham on drums or you imagine that awesome piano riff but you have to resort to MIDI sequencing and you don't have access to anyone who could really nail those parts.
