I really don't want to be around people that make violent threats or death wishes. Even if some people do horrible things, me stooping down low to dangerous levels will just make me miserable - it's triggering. I don't want to normalize that.

I hate that trying to pick the right instrument or sample for a song I make can be time-consuming. *plays one instrument to test it* "That doesn't sound right" *plays another* "That doesn't sound right either" *plays another* "Looks like that one works out well"

I've beta tested KiraStudio, which has improved a lot with more quality of life, many more bugfixes, and new instruments and effects. If you want to stray away from VSTs and DAWs' complexities, give this one a try! You can still at least use soundfonts and samples. kirastudio.org/doc/releases...

I'm surprised seeing some people pumping out decent music so frequently. As someone that gets burned out easily, as well as having trouble to make progress when there's no purpose or I'm lost, it's difficult for me to pump out stuff super often, even if I have a to-do list.

I do miss the times where even professional sample libraries were simply wav files (and basic envelope data), that way we wouldn't have to deal with finicky DRMs or the weight or efficiency of VSTs. Even though VSTs themselves have some benefits like effects.
