You're really going to dump a total newbie into simulated rack synths, computer music languages, and whatnot? In order to "save time" over learning a DAW?

I'm sympathetic to some of what you're plugging. Really. I love VCVRack. But have mercy!

I am one of those newbies and I spent way too much of my morning going through all of these. :D

I love Ableton though. You can google any random thing about it and get an answer somewhere because it's so widely used. Dunno what OP has against it. It's not hard to come by Ableton Live Lite license for free. I think just buying their iphone app gives you access to Lite license.
