Hi! I'm a little new to this area, so I was wondering if any of you knew of any cooperative DAWs you'd recommend? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi, technically Reaper, just like WinRar, has unlimited free trial (fully working, not crippled version), so this might be a good chance to see if this DAW is suitable for you. Personally it's my favorite DAW (mainly because of different sound design scripts).

You can get Reason for a $1 trial for a month. It's not the easiest software to work with, but you can do drum loops really fast because of ReDrum

I'm a bit late, sorry, but if you are still considering DAWs, you might also consider MuseScore. It currently has version 5 out, which now supports plugins and has improved sounds. I personally use this as it can also produce sheet music quickly :)
