DAW—which do you recommend?
I use Cakewalk by BandLab. I use the free tier. Pros—free, easy workflow, powerful for even professional level recordings (the Demos sound very professional). CONS-no comprehensive learning course. There are a couple of good YT channels but it’s piecemeal approach and time consuming. I’m a windows user and play guitar, piano, learning bass. Genres rock, blues, jazz, R&B, Soul and gospel sound (Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles)

@Doc Dochtermann I too am retired and finally can dedicate time. Regarding DAW—I use Cakewalk by BandLab but am considering switching because there isn’t a comprehensive course. This site offers DAW courses so was thinking about making the switch. I use Windows so Logic is not an option (I believe Logic is Apple OS only). Ableton is more EDM and looping which is not what I’m into. Any suggestions as to DAW suited for acoustic and electric guitar, drums, bass, keys that is somewhat easy to learn?

@Martin Buchanan ahh yes my kindred spirit is with us. Very similar experience as yours. This is a hobby for me and it’s a learning journey. Definitely would like to hear your ideas.

When she asks why are you always buying more musical equipment and enrolled in courses? Answer: Because I suck at golf.
