Podcasts
Approaching the community directly through recorded podcasts seems like a more effective solution to engagement, since they already seem to have some traction from the likes of https://www.audiotool.com/album/XiovnUDVL and https://www.audiotool.com/user/kibbeysaysthings/. Podcasts don't need excessive/expensive equipment for visuals or editing, which makes it ideal during this transitionary period, until I can afford otherwise.

Q&As
Along with podcasts, Q&A sessions will be a bit of a bridge across different platforms (as sort of filler content for more in-depth projects), where community input as a central theme

Website
Currently working on deploying a website in order to organise current and future projects. Namely, I want to use it as a tool for tracking my contributions to audiotool (bug reports/feature requests). Currently, it's often difficult to keep track of this solely using the board and stay posted on which topics need to be reiterated on, closed/revived, etc.
The Audiotool Resource Collective
If you're not already aware, https://www.audiotool.com/user/infyuthsion/, https://www.audiotool.com/user/jordynth/
and myself enterprised the https://www.audiotool.com/user/atrc/ in order to counter copyright infringement, and restore and diversify the sample browser after the samplepocalypse.
Along with sample packs of my own, I do have more plans for the ARC project. I just hope that you'll be a part of it too!

YouTube
YouTube has been one of my main aspirations ever since I was a kid. And, with the development and progress on the current iteration of audiotool, I definitely see a need for updated tutorials and [https://www.audiotool.com/board/chitchat/apollo_does_youtube community suggested content]. As mentioned before, I do currently own all the equipment I need to in order to make this a reality, I just lack the space to do so.

Annual Audiotool Meetup (AAM)
Much like my other projects with a community-focused premise, AAM would be annual meetup for audiotool artists to come together and socialise, participate in events, and meet the developers.

Phoenix
As a successor to the https://www.audiotool.com/user/genesisnetwork/, now more than ever could the community benefit from a revival, as there isn't as much user traction as there has been in the past; only giving the Phoenix project more urgency than ever before.

Audiotool Plus
Development on the Chrome Extension I built halted because of the official implementation of site-wide dark styling and other minor visual additions I designed with the extension's release. However, I plan on reviving the extension to add more features and support for audiotool such as a togglable dark/light mode, a SoundCloud-like track player, and extensive formatting options for board posts.

Update: Lol, apparently this topic meets the character limit for board posts.
Audiotool is secretly telling me that I need to chill out on the number of projects I have.
Okay, okay... let's focus on these first.
