I bought Omnisphere and a 25-key MIDI controller yesterday. I wanted for years to learn digital music production, but didn’t because I was busy. This quarantine gave me the chance to dedicate real time to it.
What production software are you trying? I bought a seinberg audio interface that came with cubase ai, so I've been playing with that. Cubase has come a long way - I remember when it was new software.
Even before Cubase I remember playing with trackers like fast tracker 2, so I also bought a copy of Renoise. If you are a programmer you might like making music with a tracker over a traditional DAW.
I bought Reaper after using its unlimited free version for years. My background is voiceover and podcast recording and Reaper is good for that. I'm sure it has limits but I haven't reached them yet.
It has a macro interface for scripting and many of their first-class plugins can bee configured with Javascript.
