What is the best program to make music?

Here I’m making a toy on unity, so everything works out, but I need music in the game, so it’s zero in music, but a long time ago I tried such an ejay program, spending a little time more or less it turned out, but if you sit a little longer, then you can make a suitable one for the game , ejay is old and now it doesn’t work for me on 7k, and they stopped developing it somewhere in 2007.
How can you create music without skills like ejay now? What do you advise?

FL Studio:
1. Minus: by the principle of operation, it differs from other DAWs, and therefore, if you want to switch to something else later, it will be difficult at first.
2. Many pluses: very easy to understand, the most beautiful interface (well, perhaps Logic is a competitor), the best piano roll and with it buns like Scale Highlighting to get into the key (this feature was recently brought to Ableton, but it's not so convenient there) ).
3. Minus: some people find it inconvenient to mix and master, and for this they go to Reaper/Cubase/Pro Tools. Personally, everything suited me.
4. Minus: if there is no money to buy, then it will be very problematic to wait until a new folk version is released, because the developers put spokes into the wheels every time.
5. At least I have troubles with FPS all the time. Some patches fix this, but plugins still have 20-25 frames, not 60.
6. Plus: it's very easy to backup settings, presets and everything else.
7. Plus: very convenient plugin sorting. You can add folders that will contain plugins, folders within folders, and so on.
8. Plus: a good set of stock plugins.
All in all, a great option.
Ableton:
1. Plus: the principle of operation is almost like that of all DAWs, and then it will be quite easy to switch to something else.
2. Plus: you can very conveniently do something like your own plugins, there is a constructor, like Ableton Max.
3. Plus or minus: the interface is not as beautiful as in FL, but it is more brutal, minimalistic, and there are not a lot of windows.
4. Minus: there is no normal sorting of plugins. There are tags, but there are only five of them (or so) - this is complete trash, it remains to use the search to find at least something.
5. Plus: folk versions come out often.
Overall, it's also a great choice.
In general, you can still remember, but this is the main thing.
There is also:
Bitwig: also a good thing, similar to Ableton, cross-platform, that is, even under Linux, because it is written in Java.
Reaper: for masochists, IMHO. But it seems that you can set everything up for yourself, and the license is cheap compared to other DAWs.
Cubase: outdated, and only old and seasoned sounders use it, IMHO. It is better not to wait for new folk versions at all.
Logic: a good thing if there is a poppy or a hack.
ProTools: it seems to use its own plugin format (AAX, sort of), so-so.
Studio One: Similar to Ableton mixed with FL, exotic.
Cakewalk: Free, I can't say more.
Ardour: mainly used under Linux.
In short, if the goal is to make music for unity and quickly, I would start with FL Studio. If the goal is to deal with sound, and in the future to jump from DAW to DAW, I would start with Ableton.
By the way, I advise you to install VST plugins in advance in the form of a symlink installer (there are a lot of them on popular portals), and not .exe. It is very convenient, but few people use it.

Any full-fledged musical sequencer (s) will do.
