If you were not just getting your feet in the water, I would have other recommendations but for what you are starting into keeping it simple is the best way. There are a number of good DAW software packages out there. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. They all pretty much do the same thing but in different ways. People tend to start out on one and then end up liking that one because that is how they learned to put things together.
I started on Pro Tools. I would never recommend that unless you are a technical kind of person. It is a very deep pool. I went with it because it was the industry standard at the time. I have since moved on to using a few different DAWs since Pro Tools doesn't seem to want to sell to the guy like me that isn't making money with their software. They finally hit a price point I was not willing to pay. They have been trying to get me back ever since I left. I even had a discussion with them before I dropped them about how they were pricing their software for those of us that don't make money with it. They seemed to be more interested in the big studios.
