Sonar is free now. Why not? It has comping so coldn't be wrong for recording.

Probably Studio One. If you can live without VST plugins, Studio One 4 Prime has unlimited audio tracks for free. Includes 9 PreSonus FX plugins, Arranger Track, automation, Presence XT sample based virtual instrument, and a gig of loop and sample content.

An Amiga 1200 with a midi interface, a toccata 16 bit sound card, a midi synth keyboard and a copy of Octamed Sound Studio. He'll love it, I know I did...

It's not unusual these days...

That looks like the perfect idea for recording (mostly audio)!

Not!

You forgot the 8 \ 12 bit sampler addon.

The card I mentioned was actually a Zorro based one, so there would be problems however there are a few soundcards like this one you can get that provides these features for the A1200. https://amiga.resource.cx/exp/delfinaflipper.

In essence, it would be a lot better than a 8/12 Bit sampler device that we once could attach to the back of an A1200.

Mulab is easy to understand, a small download and nothing to install, just to run:

There are free builds (the last robust ones) of legacy main versions, Their limitations should not apply to your son's needs...

Good DAW for a beginner (mostly recording audio)?
