Hey Kenny, no offense intended, was just surprised by your harsh opinion of Ignite.  It's just another tool in my box, and I have many, like you do.  Including Project 5, Waveform, and Band in a Box...
 
I look at something like Ignite, the same was as I do with Band in a Box.  Except it's easier to drag ideas around, rearrange them, etc.
 
Get some ideas down in that tool, then export some tracks to a proper DAW for finishing up with.
 
I wasn't intending to suggest it was a "complete" solution, but rather a "starter" program.  But for someone just taking the first steps to record a few ideas it's probably easier than a 4-track recorder.
 
And it does have a certain fun factor (but much simpler than Project 5 or Tracktion Waveform) where a blank track sheet in a fancy DAW can be intimidating.  Especially to newbies... and me!

Thats exactly what I was trying to say, but you said it better! I was doing the rushed short text style in going thru too many posts. :)
All good points from everyone, just different scenarios is all.
Cheers!

Here is a dirt simple Ignite demonstration of recording a real guitar clip through an audio interface. 
 
So you can skip the included MIDI instruments if you want and record audio exclusively, although this demo begins with some previously recorded MIDI backing tracks for drums, bass, and piano.
 
If a recorded guitar sounds like $hit, then it's on the player, not the software!  Garbage in, garbage out!

Here is a brief follow-up demonstration for editing audio in Ignite.

AiR Ignite is definitely worth looking at.
Another dirt simple DAW with great features would be SoundBridge (formerly known as Lumit).
It's very powerful and absolutely free. I'm intrigued by its cloud collaboration option.

Oh, I forgot about that one. I had heard it mentioned somewhere awhile back and never looked into it to see what it was all about. Thanks for reminder! Always good to keep up on what’s out and about.

Thanks for that tip!  Had not heard about that one.  It looks like a fairly complete DAW for free! 
 
The only concern that I would have is that the DAW requires internet access at each startup.  https://soundbridge.io/faq/
 
Apparently their business plan is to focus on providing the tools for free, then sell music production courses, addons, and cloud collaboration.  The Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.c...oduction?ref=user_menu

Looks like a mix between Stagelight, Ardour, and Magix Music Maker to me! Interesting, but not for me, and probably not for a noob that doesn't care to learn how things work in the studio world.

OK this post is for the both of you Fine Gentlemen ...
I just got out of the hospital . i was having tests done and I have been MIA for a few days .
All is fine , yet I want to clarify a few things that may have been taken out of context ... now that I'm back ..
 
Ole Kenny over here has not had the privilege of hiking up to the top of the Mountain and having a One on One with The Almighty Burning Bush of DAW's  
 
What ever the OP needs in a DAW....I'm OK w it ...if it is out there it can be found ...
 
You know folks , it is my long held opinion that we all search until we become finders  
In some rare cases some of us enjoy being DAW searchers..( or fill in the blank for anything worth searching for )
IMHO there is an element of satisfaction  and enjoyment that can be found while pursuing the process of searching for a DAW for the sake of the search  ....paging abacab and KennyW   said w love , friendship & respect ..
 
I'm not gonna sit here and bash the above mentioned music app ...it just does not suite my needs ...
For those of you that read my rant closely my RUB was strictly about the nature of where some of the entry level DAW's are heading... that's all i meant by that  
 
 
I would love to sit here and talk more about some of the DAW's abacab mentioned ...
 
I will save that for another post ..
 
all the best,
 
Kenny

It's a solid product in the league of its own. Definitely not even close to Ardour. Anyone with any level of audio recording experience can start creating music with this DAW right away. Don't take my word for it, just try it.
