FL Studioers never lie. On downloading it.

Western music has a long history behind itself. In every era, some rules and principles have been added to it or removed. Lots of styles also have been created and we have all of them now. If we list all of the innovations or modifications chronologically, we would conclude that digital era is not paying much attention to them or in the worst situation simply waive most of them.

I don't say we need classical view in nowadays musics but lots of efforts been done by geniuses who their main concern was playing with notes and their instruments and culminated the perfectness of music knowledge (OK traditional). What I try is knowing their path and respecting them. I can not simply neglect them. I need to know them well to produce better musics. If I don't do that, what I produce will be sort of random creatures like my most previous ones.

like others have said , given the style of music your into id say FL or Ableton as the seem to be the goto DAW for the genre specified.
That being said theres nothing stopping you from growing as a musician as time goes by and experimenting with other types of music so.... given your rig you have now id say say either Presonus studio 1, if you like cubase you'll like this as its a lot like cubase and a on system like yours would run better, but if your heart is set on Cubase there is an edu version that will only set you back about 250 bucks!!!
But... too be perfectly honest i think you need proper audio interface, you'll be surprised how fast tracks add up and you system could be blubbering rather quick without one. ASIO4all is good but nothing beats proper asio drivers for an external audio interface... id suggest a steinberg UR22 99 bucks built in DSP & comes with Cubase 8 le its light but very rugged and small so it and the laptop can travel to maybe friends house to jam out tracks or gigging and you got 200 buck left over for stuff like VSTI you want UH-e Diva and some other stuff maybe?

 

I'm going to have to disagree with you there, and say that you have to produce more and think less.

The thing I've always found with your previous stuff was that the sounds were somewhat thin, which in return didn't inspire you.
Get those vsts downloaded and you will understand what I mean, trust me.

 

We Use MixCraft Pro Studio 7. MixCraft was a Low Cost EASY 2 Learn & Use DAW When We Started Out Years Ago, & It's Gotten Much Better Over The Years. And With $350 Available 2 Use U Have More Than Enough To Purchase It. MC7 Pro Studio Has Quite A Nice Collection Of Plugins for U 2 Start With As Well.

Hope This Helps.

 

Cakewalk Sonar on steam platform (Cakewalk Sonar steam Edition / similar to Artist Edition) often go on sale around 50-75%.

Last month on Steam summer sale. Who already own it on steam can gift it to friend for 90%.
I gift one copy to my friend for just $5 (price vary to your region, maybe $10 in US). It's a steal lol .

Please listen to this one. Created in the sixteenth century. Feel the richness of the melody.

By more digging into the modern styles of music, the musicality is more being degraded or immolated.

FL studio very cute interface/plugin with animations is what you need

 

if you are looking for the most for least cash, cockos reaper is a 'no-brainer'. it comes with a slew of plugins which, although they look very utilitarian ( i.e very plain and not graphicly sexy : ] are just as good as many 3rd party plugins, especially dynamics and eq. there's so much in there i haven't even looked at yet and i have been using it a while now.
you get a full unlimited program which is updated almost every week and it's quite reliable generally. my only con if you like is that it is quite vast for a beginner, but for a budget of like 60 quid, you get everything. it is deeply customizable there is a bit of a learning curve to begin with but once you get the hang of it it is extremely powerful.
if you couple that with the fact that there are huge plethora of 3rd party plugins, again some of incredibly high quality, you could easily avoid spending any more dosh. ( i do because i am a software whore, but this is an objective answer to your question). i cannot speak to the various 'intro' or 'artist' editions of which there are many. most are limited in some way but, of course, if you are a total green-horn then that could be a good solution. it's also worth pointing out that there are some 'free' daws , like Podium which can be really useful as far as freebies go.
the software that i want ( not need) is Samplitude, but i have a few more pay packets to pick up before i can get there : )
in an ideal world i would love ableton, very expensive : (, and fl studio ( again expensive but lifetime updates so am trying to decide where to go. i suspect the price will dictate).
good luck

 

DAWs are style agnostic, they make process A or B simpler for those people that do not understand how music works but the DAW itself is capable of doing anything you ask it to do. The less you know, the more you need to lean on a specific DAWs ability to make process A or B simpler for you. The DAWs themselves do not shoe horn you into any style or process unless you are specifically looking for that.
