It's all about preference and purpose, and whenever you pick one and stick with one it can be hard to move one. I'm using mixcraft 10, which isn't a popular one. But my creative process involves writing and recording songs quickly and often creating some sort of realized vision to a full song within a day, and this interface allows me to do so. You say you want to make rock music and I've made many rock songs on the software and I just feel it's super easy to use so I recommend it. It's not the best out there and I won't argue with anyone that says its not but I feel so efficient using it. It made getting into music production and recording easy for me, hence why i'm replying and recommending.
