What is meant by *live performance* and *composing* in a DAW?

Reaper says I've been evaluating it for 2 years, running it 7 times for a total of 14 minutes. So, hasn't caught fire yet. Audacity has been my speed until now.

Due to other circumstances I have suddenly converted to Apple. Good chance to try the Logic Pro 90 day free trial.

I use software instruments to play music, and I record it directly into the DAW. I usually start with a piano track and craft a set of chords that I like, then maybe add a drum program, add a bass track, etc. Once I have the "bones" of a composition I can decide what else it needs ... give it live feel ... recording audio tracks ...

I'll try to let the above be my model.
I see a keyboard as central (following Paul in my mind).
I see capturing musical ideas and getting them documented (as opposed to noodling on the instrument, noticing that something sounds good to me, then forgetting it).

Ok, baby steps, connecting the keyboard to the software in the coming days.

When you get Logic up and running, I highly recommend the Logic Masterclass YouTube videos from UK Guildhall School of Music presented by Jono Buchanan. They're long, but incredibly informative and some aspects of workflow are covered. With real-time, real-life performance and buttonology examples for multiple instruments.
