Base DAW: Cakewalk by BandLab
1st Runner Up: REAPER (X-Plat)
Second Runner Up: GarageBand - Seamless progression to Logic Pro.

Package Deal: Apple's Logic Pro (macOS)
1st Runner Up: Studio One - Constant Sales for both the DAW and Add-Ons
2nd Runer Up: MixCraft Pro Studio - Decent package, esp. for hobbyists.

ignoring the freeware ones...which is a lot
1. Tracktion
2. Mulab / Reaper (tie)
3. FL Studio

I would put FL in one of the first two slots, but you don't get edison until the 200$ price point, and you don't get newtone or directwave until the 300$ price point...the value isn't immediate...its amortized from free lifetime updates...unless they renege on that eventually...Tracktion and Mulab are missing a convolution processor, and I can't put Mixcraft on the list without a full function sampler at that price point.

that said, if you are on Mac, I don't think anybody can beat the value of logic, but that's because its being subsidized by the markup on the hardware,...so I doubt anybody ever will

I think a Reason+ or Presonus Sphere subscription seems a value too . I'm not a subscriber of either .

For a long time I've thought Logic and FLS were pretty good value for the money. I own neither.

if I would have to start now and would like to use non pirated software

S1v5 from splice https://splice.com/daws/38892279-studio ... y-presonus
+ Sylenth1 https://www.lennardigital.com/store/ and/or Serum
https://splice.com/plugins/15493-serum- ... er-records
+ Lethal https://plugins.landr.com/en/product/lethal-audio/

in rent-to-own construction, around 30$ per month would be acceptable for me

+ the free ones
T-Force Alpha
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2wmfedmp8af7m ... 0.zip?dl=0
4 TUNE
https://www.noizefield.com/products/4-tune
Vital
https://vital.audio/#getvital
Surge from above
comes to mind first

For Mac, Logic Pro of course!
For Windows, I believe that Studio One Artist v5 is the best value for money @ $99!
For Linux, Bitwig Studio because it has everything.

For me, It's Bitwig Studio overall because I need very few additional instruments and synths. It also run on the 3 major OSes, so I'm not tied to any OS (at least when it comes to music).
