Through out the years I have used several DAW's. Cubase, Pro-Tools, Reaper, Tracktion, Studio One and Waveform. I mainly use Waveform and Studio One now. As far as an easy to learn DAW, then Tracktion 7 is a good choice. Tracktion 7 is an older version of Waveform that is free. https://www.tracktion.com/products/t7-daw
Presonus Studio One, which is a great DAW, is a little harder to navigate, but still user friendly. Reaper (i use sometimes) is also a good inexpensive DAW. Not as user friendly as the others, but the cost is good. As far as Mics go, you cant beat the old Shure SM57 and 58 workhorse mics. Plus you need an audio interface to get your music into the pc. Now with the Presonus interfaces you get a copy of the daw Studio One Lite which will do just fine. Like the Presonus 26C or 26 https://www.presonus.com/products/Studio-Series-USB-Interfaces . Inexpensive and good sound. So get a Presonus interface, one Shure SM57 and one Shure SM58, two mic cables and download Tracktion 7 or use the free version of Studio One that comes with the Presonus interface. And start messing around !!!
