Simpliest DAW?

Post by K-Bizzle »

Guys I'm really struggling with even the basics on my Abelton Live Lite that came with my Scarlett 2i2.

Any suggestions for a simply DAW that I can be up and writing with very quickly and painlessly?
Basically I just want to be able to run DI and use the LePou plugins to record and loops ideas.
Easy drum loops are a plus but not necessary.
Just something for saving, modifying, and sharing rough ideas.

And before anyone says watch the Ableton videos I have, repeatedly. For some reason its just not clicking.
Guitars:
ESP Eclipse, JR Tele, Gibson LP Tribute, Gibson Government Explorer S I/II, Yamaha FGX830C, Balaguer Goliath, Squire Jazz Bass
Maps:
Egnater Armageddon, 5153 50W Stealth, Quilter, Ashdown RM500
Cabs:
Bogner 4x12, Bogner OS 2x12, Randall MTS 2x12, Eden D410XLT

all of them have a learning curve , when I first got into Cubase the book Cubase power was a massive help . I recommend one that has great support , forums and books about it . After a little struggle you will get it .

Garageband is the simplest I've used


I'd recommend you try Cubase, though
