My experience is that any DAW has to be learned somewhat before it becomes easy.
I've used Cubase 3 thru 9, Samplitude 10, Reaper 5, Studio One 4, and Harrison Mixbus 4.
Studio One was probably the most intuitive, but the rest were easy enough once you learned their peculiarities.
Reaper is one of the less expensive and most versatile.
However, I settled on Harrison Mixbus for the sound.
With no processing at all, tracks sounded markedly better than anything else I used.
Plus, it can be bought for $29 several times a year.
I'd recommend getting demos if you can, and see how each one works for you.

Cubase, Maschine and Ableton. Cubase is my no. 1.
I was tempted to try Studio One not long ago, but when I found out that they somehow refuse to support NKI, I dropped them, because I use midi-keyboards and other hardware from Native Instruments.

I have used Logic pro and Sonar
since I use Studio One pro everything is a lot easier.
Sonar was good but on Windows only.
Logic was very illogic and apple only.
Since I have both Apple and Microsoft, Studio One is a pearl for both.

Reaper 50% (Basic Tracking / Midi Work), Harrison Mixbus 5 the other 50% with all their plugins for mixing...tho Ardour (the underlying DAW) still sucks IMHO, the SOUND & nice old school layout makes mixing a breeze.....

Cakewalk by Bandlab. Free.(and prior versions). It is the only Windows DAW to my knowledge that allows for proper track navigation and zoom using a touchscreen.
I do a lot of tracking, so instead of "mousing" around, I prefer touchscreen to locate / zoom in parts, set pointer. Community is very helpful. Owner seems to be a decent guy who cares about improving things.

I think that your choice has to do with not only how you work but also what you work with. I have been evaluating Reaper and Cakewalk by BandLab for about 6 weeks now. I work mostly in MIDI and find that Cakewalk to be a bit easier to setup and use.
Cakewalk started out as MIDI only many years ago and still retains many of its MIDI work flows. On the other hand, Reaper is used by many here on the forums and is constantly being updated with features. Typical of any DAW's, both are complex and require months of learning.
If you're just starting out, try RealBand that comes free with BIAB. It has many special features that help to integrate it with BIAB and serves as a base for many here prior to moving over to more complex DAW's.

Question for this group:
I've always used RB...I don't do any live performances, or even live recording into the DAW. But I'm getting frustrated with how often it crashes...I seem to spend more time sometimes trying to recover or fix something, or make something work the way I want it to.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience (running W10), and I'm thinking of converting to something that claims to be more stable.
Interested in feedback...Thanks!

Interested in feedback...Thanks! I’ve said it before each DAW be it RB, Sonar, Reaper, Pro Tools, Ableton, Studio One or any other of the many available have their good points and also areas where they could be improved. When it comes to RB I find I useful for regenerating parts in RealTracks where I want to. I then export to .wav then pull the wav into Reaper where I feel the tools are better for manipulating audio. I tend to use Sonar for editing MIDI because I am more familiar with MIDI in Sonar. I believe once you learn one DAW it is not so steep to learn another. Most of the rules apply similarly albeit maybe a slightly different way to achieve it. I also found in learning a different DAW I have learnt approaches I can apply in other DAWs. It is a continual learning exercise that’s what makes it fun for me. Different tools for different jobs. IMHO Tony
