The emphasis should be using a DAW that makes it easiest for you to convert your ideas into music. Dont get caught up with a DAW because its "professional" or "cheap", if its working for you, then theres no reason to try everyone. your gonna waste your time learning a new program instead of producing music, and getting better.

But whatever DAW I think is best for my workflow could take you twice as long to work in, and vice versa..The emphasis should be using a DAW that makes it easiest for you to convert your ideas into music.
