Microsoft seem to be targetting creative types more with this product, so I wondered what creative things do you do with yours? Create music? Art? Something else I hadnt considered? Or do you have a second computer that you use and use this more as a casual machine?
I'd love to hear your stories about how you make use of your device as a creative tool (with examples would be even better) in the hope that it will inspire me to do more with mine.
I have all these plans to start drawing again, making beats and basic tunes etc. but fear I'll end up doing what I have done in the past and always leave it in a todo list rather than taking the bull by the horns and just doing it...
I dabbled in digital art with my Note 8 but felt I needed programmes with more functionality and a machine with more power to do it properly.
I also love the idea of a mobile DAW, but I haven't dabbled with that since I left university. I think I was on Cubase 3 or 4 and Reason 2.5 back then. A quick search and it seems that there have been plenty of new software to come out since I last took an interest in the industry. Dont even know if my old sound card will have drivers available (Tascam US-122), let alone my keyboards etc. Will be fun getting it all out of the loft again, along with my guitars and Shure mics though. Cant afford new fully fledged DAW software so if anyone can recomend something more casual budget friendly I'd be greatful. FL Studio Groove? I dont want to overwhelm myself straight away, just fancy something simple I can play around with but with enough scope that I could make a full song (but no need for mastering tools etc).
