Is $49 too much for a superb DAW? http://www.pgmusic.com/musiccreator.htm

You need to keep an eye on the Sonar website. Cakewalk has been running a sale on MC7 for months.... unfortunately, it has ended and MC7 is back to it's regular price.... but during the sale it was available for only $20.

MC7 is a full featured, fully functional DAW that has lots of bells and whistles to let you work on some pretty intricate aspects of your music. I used the MC series, starting with MC4, for many years. You'd be hard pressed to identify which songs I created in it if you couldn't look at the dates of the songs.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
