I'm getting back into music after a couple years and want to create new music. I have NI Kontrol A49, Maschine Mk3, and Traktor S4. Almost all my hardware is NI.
If money were no object I would get Ableton Live, but since it is I'm looking for a DAW that works well with the NI hardware I have.
The options I see are Reaper (free for 60 days, then $60; I know they're not really strict about using it after eval period) and Logic Pro ($200). I don't mind spending the $200 if Logic has a lot more features and/or is easier to use, especially for a beginner, but don't want to pay that if the free DAW is better.
I appreciate any help you can give.
I hear this is important: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820HQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
