Reaper is going to probably the general consensus for a low cost first DAW. It is good too. Search the forum for topics like this. I know it's been covered over and over again. And we like it better when you search before posting

Reaper, Cubase, ProTools, Sonar, StudioOne......take your pick. They all do basically the same thing. Most of them have demos that you can download. If you like it, buy it.

All those other DAWs are gateway daws to Reaper.

But in all seriousness, an amazing program. I like it better than Cubase and Sonar.

I think finding the right program for yourself is fairly easy, you only need to ask and answer a few questions to give you some guidance:

1. What operating system are you running
2. Do you face any limitations because of your computer's capabilities?
3. Know your budget
4. Know your priorities
5. How often and where are you planning to use this software?

would be way too long to post here all the little details I believe...

I hope this helps
