    Interestingly enough, I just started using it for work. We need to source information on a monthly basis on various topics and using RSS to feed that information into a Teams channel works great.

    Multiple things actually! I use AI to quickly remove noise from audio used for podcasts and communication videos. It's not perfect, but a great starting point. I've used Stable Diffusion to use my own art models and create new ideas based on things I've already done. And recently I started feeding ChatGPT information to summarise. The writing style isn't perfect but again, a great starting point.

    So don't expect AI to do all the work for you, but use it for rough drafts.

    That's a great gift! Lots of hardware comes with a free Ableton Live Lite license that's good enough for starters. I actually still have one, if you need one. I use the whole Ableton Live Suite, which is way too expensive for starters.

    I agree with the other comment about free VSTs, but I would recommend getting to know everything the DAW (such as Ableton) has to offer as well, before downloading dozens of plugins. Most DAWs are able to do most things plugins are used for, but just more basic or less easy/noob proof.

    Just experiment and find information on problems you're experiencing while experimenting. Or watch videos in YouTube with workflows of producers that create the type of music you like to create. Even better if they use the same DAW.

    While the Iron's Hot, a crafting adventure available on Gamepass and other platforms. It does nothing different from all the other crafting games I've played, but it does it very well. It's very much a game without stress. Just decided to buy the Switch version to take it with me on a small trip I've planned the upcoming days.
