  • I don’t think you can go wrong either way, but based on what you’ve shared, my rec is piano/keys. Consider picking up a cheap MIDI keyboard with USB MIDI out so you can plug it into a PC or smartphone. From there you’re limited only by your skills and imagination, assuming your gear is in good working order. There’s a lot of good free virtual instrument options out there which should let you get your feet wet enough to decide whether you wanna jump in all the way. I know of Surge XT and Vital for synthesizer instruments, I’m not sure what all’s out there for orchestral/acoustic sample packs, sorry.

    If you wanna get serious with any instrument and you can afford it, consider taking lessons as well so you learn proper form and techniques to reduce the chance of injuring yourself.

    Godspeed, comrade!















  • What’s your budget and how much grunt do your games demand? You might do OK with something in the RX 5000 or 6000 series. These might only be available as used/refurb, but if you shop carefully you can find good deals, and some refurb cards even come with warranties on ebay.

    I just picked up a refurb 6750 XT which was a huge upgrade over my 1650S. It’s running great in Bazzite, and since it’s an older card but still meets my needs I feel like I got a great deal. Even better that it was a refurb. I’m very happy so far.
