I’ve been making music a lot, trying to improve but I’m never satisfied with what I make… how to make it fun again?

    I need to download a big batch of drum backs & VST for me to explore. Feel like I also need social emulation tho…

      I agree with getting some drums, but more VSTs hasn’t helped me personally - it’s mostly just more clutter, more things that do the same things your stock plugins can do if you learn how to use them. SPAN, OTT, TDR Nova, Youlean Loudness Meter and Vital (all free) are the few exceptions to my “rule”.

      There’s a free book I’ve been reading that I think addresses your question of “how to have fun again” - similar to what the first comment in this thread said.
