I used to work extremely rapidly (back in say 2015), but I've been really really slow at composing lately.
I can't blame my computer anymore, because it's finally stable.
But I did try and fix a broken VST3 and instead accidentally made it worse and totally unusable.
At this point, I'm about to move into my final phase / last resort.
I'm sick of incompatibilities due to Linux / WINE. So I think I'm going to to migrate to Windows if I can.
The downside is that my computer might not be powerful enough to run Windows 11 since it was too wimpy to run Windows 10.
I don't know if I can install to Windows 10 or Windows 7 or whatnot. That would be nice if I could. Or Windows 8 maybe.
But without Microsoft support, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do if something goes wrong.
But this is what I'd like to return to if I switch to Windows: https://multitrackstudio.com

I used to use that way back in 2007 and it was pretty nice. I kept my computer totally offline and I didn't really have problems (I was on Windows XP SP2 OEM 32-bit)
But for now, I'm just trying to do tiny bits of composing at a time. Sometimes I hardly do anything or nothing at all, but i'm still coming up with puny little ideas that I string together. I probably need to change genres, but not much suits my fancy.
I really like listening to good breakbeat tunes, but it's not that easy to make them interesting and I don't want to do illegal sampling (which would otherwise speed up the workflow tremendously). The epic days of breakbeat came and went long ago, before the lawyers and lawsuits. But I'm glad I didn't get swept up in those days.
