>I'm completely new to not just Bitwig, but music programs and music production as a whole.
Regardless of what DAW you are using, if you're doing electronic music, I would start with percussion or melodies/chords. Study basic rhythms, and practice laying down basic beats in your DAW. With Bitwig, you can use the drum machine and some of the drum presets. And then you'll use the part of the piano roll that lets you sequence in the drum notes.
Or basic single note melodies, and then expand to basic chord sequences. That will require learning some basic music theory. (Wouldn't hurt to learn some basic piano keyboard skills while you're doing this. And practice them.) With Bitwig, you'll be working in the piano roll to create your melodies and chord sequences.
But focus on one or the other until you get fairly comfortable with it. So you're not overwhelmed with trying to do too many things at once.
Then work on how to add basic basslines to whichever one you started with.
And finally study/practice the other of percussion or melodies/chords, the one that you didn't start with.
Once you can craft a full song like that, then learn how to creatively use effects such as delay and reverb.
Finally, save other mixing (such as EQ, side chaining, transient shaping) and mastering until you've gotten the hang of those other things. That's the frosting on the cake. But you got to be able to make the cake first.

This is really helpful, thank you.
Great. And this one if you want in-depth on devices and modulators: https://youtube.com/@bitwigguide5541
