    Ill throw in some obscure ones I use daily.

    • StemRoller. It’s an AI-powered toolthat takes an mp3 and separates each instrument into its own file. Im a musician, and having access to stems like this is a game changer.

    • Carla is a tool for hosting VST plugins without the need for a full DAW. I primarily use Amp Simulators, and this has become a mandatory tool on any computer I use. It’s also maintained by the creator of KXStudio.

      Both of these sound interesting, though I can’t really think of a use for running vsts without a DAW. For a moment I thought it would be nice to play synth without opening a daw, but if I decide to record something I played I have to set it all up again.

        I use Ampsims nearly exclusively. When I’m practising or just noodling I don’t have any intention to record. Carla has a much smaller footprint than a standard DAW, and therefore less energy usage.

        Keep in mind I’m a string instrument player primarily. I don’t play with synths or anything like that.
