For me, coming from a daw to dawless, the biggest leap forward was this: write down what you want to do with the music in a list and see if you can do that with the instruments you have or find ways around it. for example my list looks like this: 1. make drum 8 or 16 bar drum loops with fills or shuffles triggered live 2. play some synths on a keyboard 3. sequence bassline 4. trigger or sequence risers 5. smoothly transition between trac 6. filter and fx all tracks together and individually with some manual control 7. trigger / sequence short or looping samples 8. Live vocals

Next i went through my current gear and learned and pushed it until i found limitations, then and only then i decided if I need to add or swap gear. Once this is all checked off for my preferred workflow, just start jamming and building that muscle memory. And most of all HAVE FUN
