I don't need anything, thank you very much. And I don't refuse to call it a DAW. Go back and read what I said. You're the one using terms like "real DAW" and "high end DAW". I just said it is more of an audio editor, which it is. Call it a DAW if you want.
In context with the OP's questions; He has a free license to use Cubase, I recommend that he give it a try.

Have to agree - Audacity is a fine free audio editor, but a ‘DAW’ only if you are bizarrely insistent on using it that way.
There are, after all, free as in beer actual DAW alternatives...
