DAW?

So now that I’ve set up a studio in the lakehouse, I’m kind of re-thinking my recording process. Having used Live predominantly over the past few years, I’m feeling more of an old-school (?) recording process. Been playing with Cubase and Reaper, but today delved back into the NFR version of Tracktion I have. No BS, very straightforward, and although I can do everything FX and automation-wise with it, it feels like I’m just working in multi-track recording rather than the loop/sample based way Ableton works. Working with Battery is a real buzzkill, too. Having to stop and write in piano-roll/midi file crap just kills me. I think I’d rather get some real hand drums (or buckets or pipe, etc.) and just record my own drum parts, then mangle the crap out of them.
