Don't waste your time on learning something because people say it's easier, just take the time to learn the good DAWS right off the bat. I would definitely stay away from stuff like Garage band and others alike, it's just a waste of time imho. Pick a daw and learn it, these days it's easy to learn any given one fairly quickly with youtube and tutorials everywhere.. Your gonna want to do many things and some will only limit you and then your gonna have to learn a new one. I never touched Protools a day in my life and i figured it out in 2 weeks.
This is just my opinion but ive been doing this over 10 years and quickly learned that it's best to pick one because you like it's features and broad spectrum of options not because it sounds or looks easy, don't sacrifice quality, versatility and options because of a learning curve which can easily be overcome these days.
