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)
