Nowadays it is not as big of an issue choosing between DAWS. Most of the traditional ones (Ableton, FL Studio, etc) have undergone many updates to become fully capable, and there is beginning to be a good base of tutorial videos for the newer and also highly capable DAWs such as Cakewalk. Look at videos of the workflow for each and choose for yourself.

I'd say if you want many more Youtube tutorials available for the exact DAW you use, then I would recommend a big name like Ableton (most adored workflow probably, extremelyyyy capable) or FL Studio (what I have: I think a bit cheaper and you get lifetime license, adored by hip hop and electronic producers for its more step sequencer/MIDI-based workflow versus Ableton which is much more audio-clip based because you place everything on the main timeline instead of also the step sequencer).

But also a lot of free DAWS are fully capable, like Reaper. Just less bells and whistles and fancy pre-packaged plugins.
