i’m so embarrassed by my lack of knowledge so sorry.

Noooo dont say that!! I've mostly just plugged my guitar into it and recorded into Audacity.

Recently I got a midi keyboard to play around with so I needed to go down the rabbit hole of DAWs but needed to take a break cuz it was too much for me 🤕😂

Barely even made a scratch on messing with sound plugins

You absolutely are Roya! Don't let yourself be convinced of anything else! 🥰
