If you start with this limited mentality, you are going to be stuck with a partucular workflow, funnay that its onky workable using ableton. Its an alright program, but look around more and focus on which works for your idea of music before investing in it,
Most DAW’s impose a workflow and set of tools on you. Hell, any set of notative or formal tools will do that - it’s part of what makes music-making possible. If you’ve ever messed around with a complete alien tool like the therimin or Tenori-On, you quickly figure out some hacks to cram its operations into something your mind can work with. A “limitless mentality” would be something like Cage or Reich where you’re so advanced about making music that you know how to break those boundaries elegantly. For most people “getting started with Ableton Live” will do.
You have to start somewhere or rather if you try to start with everything at once on your own you are going to have a hard time.
That is sort of like saying one shouldn't start with one programming language, but instead sample all languages and various frameworks before investing their time, but that completely ignores the fact that if you start with zero knowledge you can't just randomly sample different things - most of which you haven't even heard of - before you even get to see if you like the thing you are doing in the first place.
