What is the DAW you're using btw? Reaper? When I do get a new laptop (god knows when) think I'm going to avoid any cracked shite, Ableton is too buggy for me (again could be my laptop being on its last legs).
I know reaper is technically not free, but honestly payment.
There's also that open source LMMS daw I'd like to try. Might miss some albton fictions but tbh I won't miss the bugs lol
