Just use an old version of Audacity. Audacity was never a good DAW. It’s like…
Sound Recorder is Notepad, Audacity is Wordpad, and your actual DAW is actual Word.

Make it start and stop VERY fast. And no logins or purchases or accounts or telemetry or any of that bullshit, Audacity is the desert island editor that requires no DRM or setup and will be the best balance of it-just-works and ability, given enough time.
