I suggest trying it out, it’s fun and the plugins and DAWs are like cool toys. I don’t record my guitar work, but make ambient songs and whatever else I want to experiment with like beats and effects. You can get started with free/cheap versions of the software tools. I have published a few songs to streaming services and we’ll see how that goes.
I have considered creating VST effects for DAWs. I’m better at software than electronics and I have started doing music production so that would be a better fit for me.
If you have started a hobby, then you probably know enough to fake it for a brief conversation at least. Maybe a few dead projects laying around that you could point to? I don’t think they will give you a pop quiz. Oh well, you might have to pick up that hobby again to cover for your lies.
Spotify has a central casting system where every Spotify instance talks to each other on the Wi-Fi. Tidal is not as communicative and just does direct streaming.
