I also started Cloudpunk only briefly and then somehow lost the desire, but was not the game but simply the time when I started it. Maybe I'll look at it again in the fall
Apollo is free but there are a few features that cost money, but you don't really need them rly. Steve is just stupid.
Now you have asked a good question that is not so easy to answer, unfortunately I do not have the ultimate beginner tip.
But what I can recommend to you is to play around with loops a bit - with that you can get a good basic idea of a song.
In the beginning I would advise you to do without plugins and learn the DAW. I use Ableton and have almost no plugins installed, because I create almost all instruments directly in Ableton - also saves money ;)
But I invite you to our Discord instance where many creative people are (see DATATERM Sidebar), we all try to help each other and give beginners gladly tips!
Whooo, it's the feeling of having too much cyberware installed and being on the verge of cyberpsychosis!
