Reply to Creativity/Inspiration vs Workflow

What is more important in your eyes production wise ?
Ive been into Reason 4(rewired into Ableton Live) for about 3 years now. Ive noticed i have a nice flow in Reason, but when it comes to Ableton i still get lost. When im feeling inspired i notice that alot of the time, i get an idea, and i may not know how to do it(fx or modulation wise) and when i start trying to figured it out...BAM!..inspiration is lost. and vice versa...


Which do you focus on more? Being creative first and then finding you niche in mix down?
Or just mastering Ableton into a smooth workflow....then focus on the creativity.
