I’ve tried many and used several in studios. Most have free demos. Most have similar features. The way they implement the features, and even what they call them, is what you have to evaluate.


OP....note all of the above.

Take your time...check all the free demos to determine application intuitiveness and if the GUI is appealing.
All DAW apps have their place and one's choice is very subjective.
What's easy and intuitive for me may ugly and cumbersome for someone else.
Then....learn the program of your choice and know it will require some effort and patience if you're totally unfamiliar with DAW software.

I grew up with Sonar (Sonar X3 now) since 1994 so I've long ago found what's worked for me and at 71 I'm done upgrading. smile
Yes....I would recommend Sonar (now totally free) from Bandlab.
But, that's just me. smile

That's my take on it....
