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.
