What is a good beginner DAW?

I use FL Studio Producer Edition, it's a great DAW that is relatively easy to learn, yet is has tons of advanced things when you get to know it. It can use VST plugins so you can use virtually any sound for it. Another one you might want to check is Ableton Live, also very nice DAW that has everything you need. It's up to you to see what you like best, so try the free demo versions.
