This song that I've wanted to record for the past 15 years.
It started stagnating when my preferred DAW changed a lot with the newest update, to the point where I had a hard time being productive in it. The struggle with new features that I didn't like, and old useful features having been hidden (or even removed), took away the joy of composing, recording, and arranging.
And then I had kids. Four of them.
Then came a period of financial distress, necessitating monetization of every lucid moment I had. The stress killed any remnant of creativity.
However, I'm doing A LOT better now, both economically and mentally, so I started looking for a new DAW. I really fell in love with bitwig during the trial period, so I bought a license a few day ago, and I've started playing around with it, taking baby steps in learning to be as productive with it as I was with Sonar back in the day.
What a rollercoaster, but it sounds like you're in a good place now, and heading into a really fun potentially personally rewarding chapter in your life!!
