This has been my go to for years. My music style is basic guitar, drums, bass, rythym and vox though - so I don't need the stuff that makes me sound like skrillex.

I guess it can change for some people over the years. I started out as a drummer in a band as a teenager and did music at college using C-Lab Notator and Cubase - I had an Atari STE and MIDI keyboard - composed a lot of my music that way, but also recorded live instruments too. When I went through a period of moving house regularly for work, I had to let go of my drum kit, grand piano, so started messing with software to create drums (although often going for a "live" sound for particular scenarios). At one point I was living abroad with an old laptop and produced music entirely on that using LMMS and some plugins!

Totally empthize. I went through the same 'moving around' phase. But instead of making anything with digital workstations, I got into an accoustic phase where I used my accoustic, a microphone on the ground for bass thumps, pipes, radiators, bottles and cans for percussion,.. Good times actually.
