I would open/start a music studio. Fill the space with great gear and still cater to the “in the box” software approach to recording and composition, but also make it a great creative space and a place to get demos and ideas into finished records. I’d be in house engineer and more producer than technical engineer, assisting on songwriting and sound design etc. I would aim to make the rates affordable and would actively try and engage less fortunate communities and artists with discounted pricing and/or free workshops and sessions.

Naturally this costs quite a lot of start up money and doesn’t tend to generate much in the way of cash flow, so I think it will just be a dream, unless money were no object!
