Some names I keep hearing are Logic, Pro tools. Names that come after that are cubase, ableton, reason. Sonar also gets some mentions (probably a few dozen more out there that offer the same). Then there are some free linux kinda based DAWs.Tbh, pick whatever feels right. Download some demos, feel them a bit, watch some youtubes. Pick one and go practice until your mind gives. Going excentric always worked for artists
There are ppl that make do with a hollow tree a single snared instrument a crappy voice and a tape deck recorder
Next to that, picking your DAW considering you might end up in a major studio trying to master and mix your stuff seems far fetched. Any studio can handle wave files. You could just take your laptop there and have that producing the wave files to mix. Other then that, a lot of studios do support Logic and Pro tools yeah. I'd rather aim at being able to do that yourself in your home studio. By the time you get to wanting to pay major studio hours, you better have some understanding of mixing and mastering at that point yourself if you do aim at producing music as oposed to playing an instrument or a few. Why not spending the money on a midi controller mix pannel, some accoustic shielding and use your favored software to mix and master it yourself?
Also, I see a lot of ppl taking their laptops to the studios if they do decide to head into some hired studio. What I do know is that a lot of artists, hoping to be stars, out there, usually don't have the kinda cash to pay those big studios. Some of them do that yeah. A lot of them try to make do with the ppl around them that offer an amateur version of a big studio to mix down their stuff or a friend of theirs that'd even do it for free.
