Is there physical equipment I can use for easier automation?

I'm still pretty new to audio but I'm gettin the hang of it pretty quickly. While I was working on a personal project today I was using pan pendulum to mess with some notes and I was "turning" the frequency knob with my cursor. It worked and was cool and all but I feel like it would be better if it was smoother, like with a physical knob I could turn with my hand.

Is there a specific piece of equipment I could eventually buy in the future that could help me? I currently just use a small midiplus akm320 so I don't have to use my computer keyboard as a piano but that's about it. Could I get a piece of equipment that has useful knobs and switches perhaps? Something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Maybe even something used to keep my eye out for?

This is purely a hobby, doing this stuff just makes me happy.

My very first art piece with color in it. Bday card for my sis

I love how this turned out. I've always been terrified of adding any color to my art. I've only practiced a handful of times so far with watercolors.

Just used watercolors and pen!

Replays.xyz does not have a download for patch 10.7?

They stop going back at 11.1, I'm trying to watch some old replays of mine but I need to go back further. Does anyone know where I can find patch 10.7? And 10.19?

​

I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

My very first piece of art I commissioned!!! I love it so much ❤️

3 years ago I accidentally bought a piece of art that was AI and just noticed it some months ago and I've been wanting to get it replaced with something real. I found an awesome artist on Reddit that made my beautiful boy shine and I couldn't be happier 😍😍 I also included the concept I sent to them, and this was their interpretation. They were awesome to work with.

Artist is Admirable_charge4265, their portfolio is located on https://phoebuscomics.carrd.co/ 😁

[Hiring] sorta. Seeking someone who is good at drawing Nintendo characters in action poses

So 3 years ago, I accidentally bought an art print on Etsy that was AI. I was suspicious but only worried about art thieves at the time and not ai, it wasn't too big yet so it wasn't super on my radar. The person assured me it was their art, oh well, that's on me.

Anyway, I finally realized it after looking at it long enough and would like to get it replaced with something real. Digital is totally cool and preferred, but physical is good too. My budget is between 20-50 dollars, I've never done this before so I hope that range is alright?

Anyway, here is an extremely rough sketch of the general pose I'm looking for. I'm a big fan of Luigi, and Luigi's mansion 3 and I'm seeking a very buff Luigi slamming a ghost into the ground with the poltergust. It doesn't need a background, just him and a ghost to slam.

I'm slowly learning music, and I recently made a full song this time that I'm super proud of but I used a drum sample for the drums. I don't quite understand drums too well and whenever I've tried using a rack I just get lost, for now at least.

Is it frowned upon to stick to drum samples? Any cool advice or ways to transform them in unique ways? Other than just experimenting on my own of course.

I'm having a blast tinkering with sound c:
