Idn man, my current setup leverages a bunch of prebuilt macros, and I start off my songs with a template. Electronic music is very program/process focused. But you gotta juj it with tricks to please the ear and keep things fresh.

To me, and most digital art, I build it very much like I build my computer programs. An evolving exploration of a domain, leveraged by macros that encapsulate former techniques that work well to produce a desired sound/effect. I'm essentially building a framework for churning out songs through this process. Then you can experiment within those frameworks to build out related songs(in mixing and tone and techniques) producing a collection of related works.

Even traditional rock artists were experimenting and building up frameworks to help them produce cohesive works.
