    So, I could use y'all's advice.

    Years and years ago I got really into making music and I fell out of it with a massive focus on work and life in general. Now, I want to do it again, but the software has become incredibly complex with steep learning curves everywhere.

    Back then I was using warez like cooledit, rebirth, a mass of sequencers and I play keyboards and guitars. The best and only example of what I used to make that I have online ( which is probably 25 years old now ) is this:

    I've been looking into D16 group's software (.https://d16.pl/home ) primarily for the 303 and 808 softwares they have the familiar feel of everything they offer. It does seem like €999 is steep, is it?

    Would y'all happen to have any suggestions that could help me get back into the swing of things without feeling like I'm becoming a rocket scientist?

    I'm hoping to find something somewhat advanced with the ability to learn intuitively.

    • And you don't want the Roland emulators for cheaper?canoe
    • The day of sequencers is over if you're in the box... Ableton 12.2 is going to blow your mind if you haven't touched a DAW in 25 yearscanoe
    • xcuz me Live 12.2canoe
    • Good to see you got Ableton.
      I'd say the Arturia V collection is worth saving for next.      microkorg
    • If you have an iPad then there are apps that can do what a Ableton Push controller will do.microkorg
