But I am far far far from a professional.

I actually really like audacity, that and virtualdj are both free and have some really creative stuff to play with.

But I can't do without the synth1 vst

So ugly, it's beautiful 🤩

Looks like something Aphex Twin probably still uses.

Like you wanted to see what you could do with just audacity, live on pleb tier?

I only know about voice and podcast/voice production so anything sounds cool to me XD

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there have been some Celer albums made on audacity. Pretty sure he said that anyway. Very believable. I mean it's drone with field recordings. So probably used some hardware and recordings and added effects.

I think it can be good to have some limitations too for sure. I can easily get into a wormhole of playing around with all the stuff and all the tutorials, all the plugins and etc etc and end up not doing anything. I quite like doing that but also I sometimes feel like actually trying to make something (even if no one else finds it listenable lol)

I've made some stuff only using virtualdj as a looper, it is incredibly powerful actually. You can have multiple loops on the go, and effects, they even updated it to have the ability to pretty accurately isolate drums/vocals /etc stems. It's considered amateur tech. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Sargent Pepper was made on 2 x 4 track tape machines, that always blows my mind. Just goes to show it’s the creativity of the user that makes things happen.

Limitations are defo good, at the point where I’ve settled down to a handful of tools. In the past I’ve been fooled into thinking ‘if I just get this…’ no idea what I’ve spent over the years but in hindsight only maybe 5% of it is still used.

I’ve a couple of friends I really rate that never moved from Fruity Loops and they do brilliant work.
