2: I'm a Bitwig fan-boy. Buy this great piece of software, have tons of fun and never use third party VSTs again. Sound design, modulate everything, wow! You can run many Windows VSTs using yabridge. Reaper might be a good choice for a DAW as well, it's a little more classic and has plugins and scripts for everything.

Opinion:
Chewing on lab grown tissue is not something I'm looking forward to. I don't need it in my life, I'll stay plant based. If it replaces a dead animal I'm fine with it. But I doubt it will. I feel like lab-grown meat is like hydrogen for Big Oil:
A thing that they're working on, it will be great in the future. But until then, we can continue burning oil/eating meat.
Off-topic:
I'm always tempted to write it out. The word is in everybody's mind while we read the text. It gets so powerful if people decide to talk around it. But if the context is not hurtful, it's just a word. Nothing happens. It becomes an insult if the mind of the one who says it or the one who reads it decides to make it one.
Plus the assholes who use it as a slur will say it anyway. We're not achieving anything by erasing it from our bubble.
Well, that's what I think about it. :)
I think I made by point and presented enough sources. I'm obviously not going to change your mind at this time.
An example of what people accept as normal:
In 2020, 4.9 million dairy calves were born in New Zealand. Exact numbers are not collected on the outcome of each calf, but NZ dairy industry lobby organisation DairyNZ estimate that of those:
2 million (40%) were bobby calves, who are killed around a week after birth.
1.4 million (28%) were female cows kept by dairy farmers to replace the 20-30% of older cows who will be slaughtered every year when they are no longer deemed productive.
1.3 million (27%) were raised to maturity for beef. Beef animals are generally slaughtered when they reach maturity at around one and half years old.
196,000 (4%) were born dead or die shortly after birth.
That's the spirit. Going vegan is a powerful personal Fuck You to the global suicide machine. Plus you'll probably live a longer, healthier life. I wish you all the best!

Damn, I need to copyright that! :)
Habt ihr Das Ministerium für die Zukunft gelesen? Der Roman startet in einer Hitzewelle in Indien und ist wirklich heftig. Wir dann aber zunehmend hoffnungsvoll.
Zweite Buchempfehlung: Der Anfang von Morgen, Hitze und Waldbrände in Schweden.
