Afraid I don’t even know what VSTS means!!
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
All of the modern DAWs are well specified and, whilst some may be slightly better at performing specific tasks, in general it comes down to familiarity. I'm a Cubase user - because that's what I've been using for about 20 years and I've invested a lot of hours learning how to navigate it (and I'm still learning new stuff). Reaper is highly recommended as it is very reasonably priced and very efficient (doesn't require as much processing power as some). I downloaded a free trial version and I found it very easy to use (of course remembering that I have more than 2 decades of DAW experience).

PC or Mac? first have everything plugged in.
in audio prefs on PC or mac, make sure interface is selected for audio in-out.
In Reaper, check options for audio in-out match, ie interface.
create track-
select input for track in I/O--ie, if its a scarlet solo-it will be one track
arm track for recording, set input monitor to on, and you should hear your DI signal through your monitors or headphones--which should be connected to the interface.
At this point you will realise that you need lots of VST amp and speaker sims for your DI track, and that will keep you occupied for ages, or you will decide to use a line out from an amp or external device into the interface instead, which will also lead to another diversion.
Theres a whole thread here devoted to free plugins, so you dont need to spend more than the £60 fee for the Reaper license, which you dont need to pay anyway-it is completely unrestricted in demo mode, but is the best £60 you will ever spend.
good luck
cheers
However.. this recommendation is from a traditional approach to recording.
Learning how to create a track and arm a track will get you your sound.
You can learn how to switch between record monitoring on /off/auto etc.
Some of this stuff you simply need to take the time to learn to get up and running. I tried to find my own way around as i usually do and caused myself a lot of unnecessary frustration. Watch some of the tutorials they are very thorough.
There is even a video on how to watch the videos. start at the beginning. Kenny Gioia is the man for this. Also you may want to check out the Reaper forum (his vids can be accessed from there also.
but at least I am up and running!!
