Hi
Producing music with samples in connection with a DAW can lead to ver musical result. Which DAW? It should be able to handle miditracks, midicontroller tracks (ability to draw or record controller curves), audio effects (VST, or AAX), It should be able to offer a mixer layout for instrument tracks or audio tracks...
Logic, Cubase, Sonar... are those which a lot of people are working with but there are others which also are doing the job.
First I recommend to load Vienna Instruments without VE into your DAW. So you can learn how to control the samples, controllers and the selection of articulations without any other hurdle. If you are familiar with the new "world of controlling VI" you can use the VE of course as well.
I wish you a lot of success
