My goal in order to maximize my workflow is to go from Reason 10, Studio One 4 Professional and Windows 10 to complete mastery of Reaper 7 and Linux instead of jumping back and forth all the time, and also create my own custom theme for Reaper 7 with my own (non-AI-generated) artwork, so that the whole process feels more me instead of corporate.
I also want to exclusively support the music software and hardware brands that support Linux and DRM-free software, and in the process slowly but steadily move away from all of my paid plugins with DRM from companies with constant EULA revisions, forced telemetry and always/regular online activations with CPU intensive and power consuming background processes that runs in my OS, and also means a higher electric bill.

In the long run I only want to use freeware, donationware and paid plugins that doesn’t use DRM that requires online activation, or at least with the option for a one-time offline activation method, or preferably plugins that use no DRM at all.

I also want to design both my own physical EPs, and later album, cover and booklet with a classic jewel case with my own artwork in order to get the full nostalgic experience like the ones I remember from my childhood and teenage years before the steadily growing digitalization of every music, movie, game and book mediums in the mainstream.

Anyway that’s my 2024 goal, and good luck to all of the participants of the giveaway, and thanks for a great and highly informative music software website, and the great BPB plugins!

Best regards
Richard
