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.

shit i remember ableton being REALLY simple. someone else maybe can help

people say stuidio one 2 is super easy. seemed just as oddly-laid out as any other DAW imo.

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

Wow nice suggestion. I may have to give that a try.

It comes with a ton of keyboard samples too. Hope it works for you.

Have you checked out the Ableton tutorial?
