All the best musicians have expensive gear duh
Real advice: diversify ! Try a new genre or style that you haven’t yet. Sometimes you have to expand horizontally instead of vertically

i haven't made a lot of music in 2024 so far. i've spent a month interstate and another month counting the days until i got put on the payroll again.
however, i've finally finished a proper track of mine in my usual way. i haven't even played songs my main synth, really, with the exception of an open mic i did the other week. it was really cool because i met a lot of like minded people who were all brilliant in a different way. they loved my songs even if that was the first time i touched my synth all year, so my playing wasn't too good. but open mics aren't about playing good.
i have also been messing around with DAWs and programming my own VSTs... FL studio is where it's at with DAWs. really really fun to make a song and get it done. my boyfriend has been a huge helper with it, i love making songs for him to slow and reverb as part of his music. i made a song just for him to do that on valentines day <3
programming VSTs is really cool too. ive always been interested in making synths, but there are many many roadblocks with hardware synths... i approve of free software even if there's really big drawbacks to it. like weird undocumented stuff that comes to bite you on the ass.
i recorded a song properly today, which i havent done in quite a while. it's quite fun, i miss working with my digital recorder. for me, everything with hardware like that Just Works. one of my cables broke but ive managed to bend it back in shape and it works(tm) for now. awesome 😎

I went on a seven year hiatus from making music. Life happened, I didn’t have time, and overall I wasn’t having fun when I tried to play. A few months ago I played for a bit with a friend and fell back in love with making noise. This weekend I got my old gear out of storage, and it brought back so many memories. It felt like I was playing with the ghost of who I was all those years ago. I’ve been radically transformed by time but parts of who I was exist still. I don’t play like I did back then, I’m a lot softer and this time around I am only playing for my joy. I like aging, I like becoming a softer human, and making music helps me celebrate that.
All of this to say, get your gear out of storage and play if it’s been awhile. visit who you were so you can celebrate who you have become.
