@David-Healey said in this one looks interesting:
built lots of little projects
100% this! That's what I did over the last year or so.
Folks who jump straight in with a large project are asking for trouble. Even if they're seasoned in other languages or environments. For example, I'm well-versed in building web applications in Ruby On Rails but I wouldn't jump straight over to ASP.NET and try to build a massive project right off the bat.
The ideas for the first 4 HISE plugins I'm developing all came from a very simple concept for each one - focus on one single sound type. The first one is sub bass. Even keeping it simple like this has it's challenges.
