Yeah, having a control surface makes using a DAW so much more natural. You can make a poor man’s MIDI controller with your phone or keyboard, but if you spend any time “producing” (which could just be tracking your instrument) I highly suggest spending 50-100€ for a basic controller that suits your needs. I play some bass so I got a little two-octave keyboard with some pads and knobs so I can put down some basic melody or drum pattern while practicing
