Like Dave, I used Acid Pro for quite a while. I would recommend it because it does both things well. A loop-based DAW that looks like a more conventional "studio type" DAW. Easy to learn and easy to work with.

I would recommend AGAINST trying to use BIAB as your "loop source" in the beginning. Jump head-first into the "Loop world". Buy some loop libraries. And learn it "the right way" - using those type loops. Find your way into THAT world (via videos and forums related to that style of music creation). After you get good at that, THEN come back to BIAB for ideas to incorporate.

As I said before, it is really important that you learn how to make BEATS as the basis of your music (in that direction). And rhythmic repetitive bass loops. And synth hits. The pieces that make that type mosic what it is. I think trying to make BIAB fit that is a mistake and will "bog you down".
