Do you have the software? You can just spin up a vanilla instance and then install the software on it yourself and if you want to keep it around you can stop/start it and/or snapshot it and then bring up copies of it at a later date. (I think, I know nothing about your software, I just use AWS for serving web apps mostly)
If it's for one off stuff, you don't have to keep it around. But if you kill your instance you'll have to reinstall and copy your stuff to it every time. Storage costs are pretty cheap though (certainly compared to a running server)

'Nimble Studio' definitely is aimed at production houses, less so solo artists, so I guess that's where I'm going wrong as I wouldn't require the same level of control over permissions and access to services. All I want is a single virtual workstation with a bit of storage attached at first, with the ability to use their 'usage base licencing' and then the ability to render on a bunch of spot instances later down the line.
