For me it was approaching the DAW as a digital tape machine that worked for my flow. I run Ableton, but only record audio in from my looper and instruments. And just use the middle edition thats $300ish I still haven't embraced the bottomless pit of software instruments, but do use a few nice plug in FX. A lot of my ideas come up from looping, and the DAW is basically just “rolling tape” to capture that jam in a linear way. Maybe with some adjustments afterwards |

I guess I wound up toward the dawless end of the spectrum because I didn’t buy an iPad or another laptop…electronic music requires hardware either way I think.
Where I am at right now, it helps to remove software from the picture.
If the DAW solved audio and midi signal routing, then it would be a friction for friction trade off. But the daw doesn’t eliminate cables and configuration…VST’s excepted.
I have a Tascam DP 006 and the QX5 for recording. The QX will loop, transpose, and rechannel MIDI too.
Basically, I can do everything I think I want to do without a laptop.
That could easily change of course.
Dawless is an engineering design choice not an ideological hill I would die on.
