    I play music at home, sometimes recording it. I have zero interest in monetizing it. The most I’d like to do is collaborate and make music with others.

    I also ran a YouTube channel for a few years. Made about twenty cents from that.

      Apart from the YouTube stuff, I’m similar. Writing, arranging, recording, mixing, etc. Simply because I enjoy it.

      It’s been a while, though. First came kids and other life-related things to take up most of my time. Plus I migrated to linux fully (as opposed to dual booting) in 2014 or thereabouts. But I recently found a DAW that I like, which also works great on linux, so as soon as I find a decent drum and piano synth I’m back in (not doing) business.

          There are built in ones, but I want something realistic sounding to go with my (real) guitars and bass.

          EDIT: Not sure why you deleted your response, as you made some valid comments, so I’ll just write my response here: Free synths are usually OKish if used properly. But I’m not looking for OKish, I need something that sounds as good as the real thing, and for that I am willing to pay.

          Last time around I used pirated stuff. Cakewalk Sonar (although I didn’t like the newer versions), Drumkit From Hell, and misc Edirol stuff mostly focusing on piano and orchestra. After really enjoying a trial version of Bitwig, I’ve decided to go for the full version as the foundation, so now I just need to find modern equivalents to the rest so I can buy them.

            Most modern DAWs will have plenty of realistic sounds, it’s getting them to play realistically that’s difficult.

            Edit: forgot you use Linux.
